Hi all. I've been mia for a while as I've really been struggling. My team have put me on waiting list for a pump. The trust I'm with have 3 choices roche medtronic or animas was the names i was given. I'm awful with technology and would love the most basic/simple pump. I know there is already...

Am giving my reader to a friend as I use the app on my phone. Is there anyway of deleting the data from the reader without deleting it from my app?

I'm type 1 but was on Metformin 500mg twice a day as past year for insulin resistance. Last Wednesday my consultant increased it to 1g twice a day. I've been taking this increased dose since Thursday. Yesterday just after dinner I felt really nauseous, headache couldn't eat etc so went to bed...

I've gained 3st since my type 1 diagnosis 7years ago. Im 5ft 6in and 13st 7lb. My diet is not great. Currently around 250gm carbs daily. I've developed insulin resistance and am on Metformin alongside my insulin. I have brought my hbA1c down from 9.2 to 8.3 and my next goal is 7.5% I've...

I have been keeping a very detailed bg diary since November. Have my clinic app tomo and have left the diary with my mum 160miles away! It won't be possible for me to get it before tomorrow. I have been using the libre but recorded my carbs/insulin etc in my diary rather than the app. I've only...

I go to bed at around 7-7.5mmols and my DP starts around 3am and I wake up 14-18mmols. Now my DSN just tells me to increase my night time basal. Over the past 12 months it's gone from 16u to now 24u of levimer. I only take 6u in the morning. I feel compared to my morning dose this is a massive...

I'm seeing my consultant on Tues and I'm wondering if he should suggest the pump to me how long can i expect to wait before I'd get one?

Hi everyone. Today I had my bloods taken by my treatment room nurse for my appointment with the diabetes clinic next week. I normally wait till i see the consultant to hear my results but I've been working really hard on my numbers recently so very keen (and a bit excited) to find out my hbA1c...

How do i check my basal daytime dose is correct if I'm always correcting when I wake due to dawn phenomenon? I understand we need to have had our last bolus injection 5 hours prior to beginning so should I take my correction earlier around 3am? Or do I just have to miss the morning section of...

I've found that if I'm hypo a carton of apple juice with 22g brings me up nicely and my level is stable afterwards on the libre graph. But if I take 4 jelly babies 20g I shoot up and continue to rise for hours afterwards. So tonight I took a hypo and tried just 2 jelly babies and it brought me...

Can anyone tell me how I properly calculate how much insulin I need to bring me down with a correction dose and how many carbs i need to bring me up from a hypo? Can it be precise or is it just a rough guess? I usually take 4u if im over 10. And take 30g carbs for a hypo but when talking to my...

I've tried so hard this past year. I attended dafne in Feb and my average bg has gone from 12 to 9. Not great I know but I feel I've worked really hard to get it down that little. My last a1c in March was 8.9 and we hope to apply for adoption this coming year they want my a1c 7 or lower. I...

So 7 days since starting the wonderful freestyle libre and seeing my graphs has led me to the decision I have no choice but to try lchf. My spikes are horrendous. My graphs are far from in range. I'm going to aim for lower carb (low for me personally) to begin with 100g ish. I'm terrified as I...

Would anyone that uses pen and paper to record there bg's care to share their layout? I've had mySugr app and I've the libre logbook but I'd really prefer to keep it in a notebook.

What does every one consider an acceptable 1 and 2 hour post meal spike? Since having the freestyle libre I'm shocked at how I spike after certain foods. For example I was 7.5 before breakfast had 30g carbs 1 hour post 10.9 2 hours post 13.9 4 hours post 7.9 So although I came back after 4...

Any remedies for cystitis? I'm feeling so poorly with it. Bg's have been all over the place today..as high as 18.2 and as low as 2.8 [emoji29] I already drink 2-3litres of water a day. I've quite bad thrush also I'm wondering if this is linked?

So I'm type 1 diagnosed 6 years ago. As I've said before I spent a long time in depression and abusing my body one way through binge eating. Long story short I was then this year diagnosed with insulin resistance as a result of this and put on Metformin 500mg breakfast and evening meal. I've...

I'm so sorry for tormenting you all with these questions. I am trying to read think like a pancreas and do my own research I just find it hard to transfer that info to my day to day life if that makes sense [emoji85] So my aim is to reduce my a1c to aid my husband and I with the adoption...

Is the starter kit meant to come with test strips for the reader?? Mine didn't. Will this make a difference if I use my own meter instead??

So my freestyle libre arrived this morning and am keen to get everything in place before I set it up. I have an android phone and have heard of people using an app for it. When I search for it in play store a few different apps come up can anyone advise which one I should go with? Also is it...
