Thank you they sound very useful especially as I’ve self-funded a Libre all the time for the last 2 years so want to get the best out of it.

Thank you for that info. I have a reminder alarm on my phone but good idea to put a timer on too. Thanks

Hi I’m about to use a Juniorstar pen for my Lantus but with my previous Solostar pen I had a Timesulin device to time since my last insulin dose. The new Juniorstar is a different size and I can’t seem to find a pen timer to fit it. Does anyone know of one please? I don’t feel comfortable...

Hi ask if they’re planning on doing a DAFNE course over one week in the future. You never know. My area normally do them spread out over a few weeks but I managed to get on one that was every day for one week. It was very informative for all the reasons stated above. Good luck.

Hi I’ve recently upped my exercise and slowly needed to reduce my Lantus by half. I split my doses to morning and evening as per doctor’s advice which worked for me when I didn’t expect it to due to the overlap. Additionally I’ve found that if I go low at night it’s the morning dose that I need...

I have warm unsweetened soya milk and a sprinkle of ground almond and ground linseed. It’s like a low carb porridge alternative that I got from this site years ago.

I was diagnosed type 2 when I was mid 40’s and then the doc sent me for GAD test and c peptide and the results showed I was LADA.

I had the same response when I said I always wait 24 hours to activate the sensor after applying. They told me I must never do that. Most sensors work but out of 31 I’ve had about 6 that have been ridiculously out (and rang them about 4 of them) and not consistently out either. I don’t mind if I...

Hi I am a low-carber and I don’t feel hungry unless I eat carbs. I too only eat one healthy meal a day and feel great unless I eat carbs and then I feel sluggish and get indigestion. I get lots of exercise and still don’t feel hungry but enjoy my meal when I have it. I wear a Libre and my BG is...

Hi I rang the airline to say I’d be travelling with a Libre on my arm and others in my hand luggage and they said to carry with me the manufacturer’s instructions. Some previous threads on here were really useful. You can’t go through the scanning arch with a Libre on and have to be patted down...

It happened to me and the doctor checked my thyroid but it was fine, he then said it was probably my hormones. I didn’t lose weight before diagnosis either so it’s annoying. I was diagnosed at a random well-woman check and had had no symptoms.

Hi @gorman100 I had exactly the same problem and changed to Fiasp. After a couple of weeks my readings were much better. I'm a libre user too. It's worth a try. Good luck.

Mine took two weeks to come but having a gap then messes up all the averages , especially the 90 day and 30 day. It's disappointing.

Signed

Hi for nearly 2 weeks it felt as if Fiasp wasn't working at all (massive insulin resistance). I had terribly high BG and I slowly increased my ratios to 1:5 but I'm aware that at 54 years old it could also be due to hormones and merely coincidence that it happened exactly as I started Fiasp...

Thank you

Hi did anyone on Fiasp notice that their ratios needed to increase? At first I thought Fiasp wasn't working but then I started to experiment with gradually increasing my ratios and things are improving but not quite there yet despite taking double the C:I ratio that I took with Humolog. I've...

Hi I use Tegaderm. I'm on my 20th sensor and have always used it. I cut the patches in half and stick them straight over my arm and sensor and they last the fortnight usually. In Tenerife I swam in the pool and the sea and everything was fine. Here I take our child on play dates to the swimming...

Thank you everyone. Really useful info. I'll tell pharmacist about the Novopen Echo tomorrow and see if he can get hold of one. Thanks again.

Hi I've been on Humolog for the last 14 months with post-prandial spikes which last a couple of hours. My Doctor has given me a prescription for Fiasp. Is it best to start the new insulin on a new day and will I take exactly the same dose? Also I use a half unit pen with Humolog but the...
