Thank you. Antihistamine is a good idea. I’ll try that next time.

Thanks for your response. I have used barrier creams and they help, slightly. I have tried Sudocream and other ‘off the shelf’ creams and lotions, but they all don’t help to remove the small red dot that stays for months after. I’ll ask a Dr

Hello, Yes, I use baby oil to take off, but recently the sensor is ready to come off. For me, it’s more the red marks. I’ve got 6 on right arm and 10 on left and some are 7months old.

Yes, I too have had them falling off or not sticking properly. I’ve reported it, but since the huge NICE contract it does seem, with the reduction of alcohol wipes etc. that there’s a few issues in more than a few batches recently.

Quick one. Every time I remove my Libre2 Sensor there’s always the small red mark and black circle of glue. The small red mark, however, stays red for over a month I’ve found, on both arms. Anyone know of a lotion/cream that would help speed up the reduction in redness? Khap Khun

Strangely, Vimto Diet juice makes my BG rise, whereas any other ‘sugar free’ doesn’t.

Soups are best, dependent on the amount of spice [prik] used. Tom Yum with prawns is great. Meat salad like Laab Moo [pork diced] is super. Jasmine rice and the sticky rice makes my BG spike, but little amounts perhaps. Almost all curries come with coconut milk [green, red, massaman etc.]...

When I came to Sri Lanka for work assignment I brought some Libre 2’s with me. Unfortunately there must’ve been a bad batch as after attaching one and waiting an hour is malfunctioned and told me to replace and the next one, the spring didn’t work and so I had to push the sensor into my skin...

*in a nutshell

Just wanted to report that I’ve put my 2nd Libre 2 Freestyle on today since being in Sri Lanka. It’s **** hot and humid here and the chaps at Abbott were a tad worried the units would either: •Not work due to heat •Not survive the journey and storage as needs to be below 25% So, in a nutshell...

Hello @ChrisThailand, When you say up country, can I presume this is Issan? You're correct on the Dr's assumptions, as in many cases these are the 30THB answers, but there are very good hospitals that can deal with these leg ulcers, vasculitis etc. The best place in in Bangkok called the...

Hello @tpaz, thank you for your response, I do apologise for the delay in my response due to travelling last week. Your information was informative, thank you. I used to use Levemir, split twice morning and night, but had an allergic reaction to this, I understood from my Dr that this is a...

Hello @Engineer88, many thanks for your reply and I do apologise for the late response as was traveling last week. Noted with thanks. I am organising an appointment this week to run a GAD and c-peptide, as also advised by another poster. I'll update you all once I have the results. Thanks...

Hello Edward. I've taken NovoMix 30 Penfill a few times. I am usually on NovoRapid but I live in Asia and occasionally NovoRapid is out of stock. NovoMix 30 has a basal and fast acting component. It's packaging is blue. With the vials you need to place one in the palm of your hand and...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum in the sense of asking a question but have been perusing for some time, it's a wonderful source of knowledge, wisdom and hope. I've recently been needing to use 2 vials of NovoRapid (Penfill 3ml each) almost daily to keep my BG down. My Doctor said this can be...
