Hey guys, thanks all for your replies they are very much appreciated. Now I know that Abbott are a good company to deal with and will send a replacement out if it's broken from the box. I'm just a little worried because it WAS working but not even for 24 hours. Somewhere between 24 and 28 hours...

no, I am a resident of and from the UK. I am stuck in Belgium at the moment. My partner lives here..... the librelinkapp lets me select mmol/l which is obviously what I use.... i've read differing reports from machines bought in different countries and can assure that the libre meter from...

Unfortunately this is what happened. I will copy the E-mail that I wrote to Abbott Belgium only to find they barely even exist and have no e-mail. It's nothing to the magnitute of Abbott UK/NL/US..... I'll preface by saying I'm a long suffering type 1 UK resident, with every single...

spoke too soon, I took the amount of fiasp which should have covered the carbs but as it was unlabelled food and I had to completely guess the carbs, I think it was 1unit fiasp too much. At least I've caught it and can treat it easy without expecting rebound. I'll still stick to the 6u toujeo...

Hey, just checking back in! Unfortunately from having gastroparesis I am always going to have such erratic periods and hope that I can eat at regular times - there have been so, so many days the last year plus, where I can't even keep water down, I'm nauseous and in pain but the pattern is...

Thanks so much! no matter what I do, it feels impossible right now. I've been in a solid gastroparesis flareup every single day vomiting for over a year solid now. My funding to have specialists and the lifechanging surgery that made me better and at least live some kind of life just robbed...

thank you for replying !! Tresiba is what I wanted and am going to try fighting again to get put on it when I can get back home. WHY am I being refused funding for any kind of newer insulin!? it's mad...) But I'm so fed up with levemir that I will make the change now. I expected a few rough...

thank you! I hear you but it's not an option for me right now hence asking on here. I have no idea when I can get back to the UK. I'm very ill at the moment, can't get levemir here (why does everywhere else in western europe feel soo much more advanced!? they all have (t1) mandatory free libres...

anybody at all?? Really sorry but i have no access to a DSN or anybody right now and won't for a few weeks but obviously will go through everything with them. I just really need some advice and rough guidelines to get going. I normally take 6u levemir 10am and 4u at 10pm. Totalling 10units of...

Just looking for some rough guidelines and quick advice please. I have no access to help at the minute. But have always been very competent managing, figuring and sorting doses and all the rest of it. Did anyone else switch from Levemir (6u AM and 4u PM so im on tiny doses) to toujeo, what were...

After years of only using my stomach I now rotate every single site. It caused such a buildup that my injections eventually stopped being absorbed and oblivious, i was convinced I'd become insulin resistant. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong but the site should be ok again after a few months...

Fastest route to DKA ... background insulin is vital no matter what. If you need some help, please seek it. Also I really wouldn't be terrified of a reading of 11. But that figure is going to keep on rising with no insulin in you. I hope you feel better soon.

Hey guys, thanks so much for your help. Taken a big worry away! Nowhere to buy these where I live so I'll look online later and get a frio pack ordered. Yes!! Boom. Have you been ?? I have noo idea what i'm letting myself in for ;) And yup, all prepared for the hypos .. got masses of...

I just started reading about this. I have never even heard of it before! And I'll be ok in the middle of nowhere for over 2 weeks!? Thanks so much. Gonna look into this now :)

12 hours exactly apart gives me the best and most steady control. I do 12u respectively at10am/10pm and this works better for me than anything I've tried previously.

Hey everyone. I've decided that I'm going to go away to a festival in Portugal next month and this is my main concern/setback. I'm really hoping you guys can help me out with some suggestions that can help ease my mind. I've trawled the internet to no end and find it impossible to believe i...

oh, sorry. Not been on here in a long time. No. UK. Actually I recall saying to him before "oh but i never let hypos get in way of my work .. i always catch them and never need to take time to sit down or anything" . Sigh. Because then everyone else will kick off over it. Has it really come to...

Hey, thanks. Been there with him before. He knows I look after myself and always react to a hypo so as to not affect my work. Yeah .. my diabetes always revolvin around my work and not the way it should be (kinda a contradiction in that though in that these no breaks mean I can't eat regularly)...

Hey guys. Thanks for your time and I was hoping for any advice asap before tomorrow (Sat) when I have to go back to work. For almost a year now I've been working as a waitress doing insanely physical and long hours, most of during which I never take a break because simply put my colleagues will...

Hi Kim, really sorry to hear that and glad you are doing better. It really is horrible...there's good doctors and nurses out there but they are very hard to come across. I have good doctors now but every time I end up in that hospital back home it's the same old cr*p. It really is disheartening...
