Hi all, I've posted about this before but I'm really at the end of my tether with this. Each time I do a set change I get high blood sugars; today it was up to 17.7 today from 9.7. I've changed from Mio Advance to Sure-T today to test it and that's when I got the 17.7. The consultant thought...

Hi, I've started using the Libre to log my meal carbs and bolus dose (as well as the scan value) - I do this all on my pump anyway but thought it would be good to see the visual too on the Libre data. I was wondering this: do I need to scan after the meal - say in two hours to capture the...

Hi everyone, I've been going high after set changes for some time now and I'm still trying to find ways to fix this issue. I'm on a 640G with Mio Advance sets. I recently changed from Mio to Advance but it hasn't helped the problem. To combat the post-set highs, I've been doing an extra bolus...

Hi, I watched an Abbott Freestyle webinar last night about using Flash Glucose Monitors to manage exercise and another one about diet. I found them both interesting and it explained some of the mechanics of how exercise works for T1Ds and what different types of exercise do to our blog sugars...

Hi all, I've been trying to sort my basal rate on my pump for a fair few nights now by doing overnight testing. But the last two times I've tried, I'd either been too high to test or went hypo after dinner before the pre-bed blood test. It's really frustrating me as on these basal test nights I...

Hi all, Just started pumping this week - still on saline and "go live" on Monday with insulin. I was wondering if there was any way to see the active insulin you have left as the time left in your body? I can see I have 2.4u left, which while great, doesn't necessarily help me know when it'll...

Hi, I've been using the Libre for about 9 or 10 months now, but the last sensor I had on for a 14 days was itchy and when I removed it my skin had a red circle and was raised and very sore. I put on a new sensor last night but had to remove it because it too was itchy. Once again I have a red...

Hi all, I had a pre-pump assessment this week that went well. I had my HbA1c result the same day which was 7.8 (which shocked me, I thought it'd be higher!), which I'm really pleased with considering it was 10.something a year ago and the lowest I've had in years. The nurse said its nearly a 3%...

Hi all, I'm using Diasend with my Libre to sync my data. When I sync, the insulin pie chart is blank on my phone screen and online it only logs my boluses. Is there anyway to fix it? Thanks, P

Hi all, I've been struggling with high waking blood sugars which I've attributed to a Dawn Phenomenon (although a consult I saw was sceptical despite a months of Libre data showing it) that I see start to rise my sugars at around 3-4am. I was just wondering how other people deal with them? I...

Hello, Can anyone have a look at my sugars for me (link below)? I did DAFNE a week ago. I reduced my BI from 35u twice a day at 8am and 8pm as advised, but I've now upped it a touch to 27u twice a day because of the high morning readings. All in all it seems to not be working for me... yet...

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any tables that show the effectiveness of insulin for different weights or when our blood sugars are high. I'm trying to crack why I have high morning sugars and can never inject the right amount to bring it down. 4u hardly touches it (which DAFNE suggests...

Hi all Just made some courgetti with pesto. Do I need to inject for it? It was 250g of veg with a spoonful of pesto. I'm 7.7 right now so I'm kind of intrigued to see what happens without a bolus. Thanks P

Hi all Can anyone have a look at my readings and see where I'm going wrong? I'm waking up high in the morning. Last night I had some cheese before bed and it clearly spiked me up massively. I was too worried to inject as I was in a good place and didn't want to go hypo in bed. I've increased...

Hi all My graphs are coming up without the lines as in the pic. Should I call Abbott and return the sensor? This is the third sensor now that I've had issues with. The fourth if you count the one I received with OPENED packaging...

Hi all I try to stay positive with my diabetes but lately it's been really getting to me. I'm training to be a teacher and this is easily the most stressful year of my life with work and my health. I went and saw my DSN on Tuesday and I was there for three hours - not in the waiting room -...

Hi My sensor has been giving me error messages the last few days. Telling me to scan again in 10 minutes. I just synced the data and all the graphs are dots and not connected and there are times where the sensor didn't record any data. Should I send it back to Abbott? It's never happened...

Hi everyone Can anyone have a look over my results? I'm finding it really hard to get my control stable. The only time when it's ever looking good is if I'm low carbing or just running off my basal. Both aren't really tenable for me at the moment. Last night I went out and had a meal with a...

Hi all Long story short, my diabetes has been terrible for the past 15 years since diagnosis. High HBA1c at 10.3. I went to hospital to meet with the DNS last month and we devised a new regime, but it's not really working too well yet. I've been having really out of control blood sugar...

Hi all I've recently changed my insulin from once a day Levermir at 44 units to twice a day (first at 12u and now at 14u at 10am and 10pm each) and I was injecting roughly 20-22u per meal of NovoRapid. The thing is I was under the impression that my Levermir should bring me between 5 to 7...
