Got the same issue over the last 6 days and my afternoon level in the 20s with no relative changes to food or activity. My average has jumped feroz a fine 9 to 12.5 which is frustrating

Hello all After some general advice Over the last 6 days my levels have risen in the afternoon and I have been in the early 20s for a few hours. My Libre reader puts my 7 day level average now at 12.5 up from my 90 day at 9.5. I am doing nothing different food or activity wise and don’t get...

Joe Nice to virtually meet you and welcome to the club. I was newly diagnosed last July at 50 years old and as a fit and active guy it was a total shock. 15 months on I have become accustomed to life with Diabetes and whilst I would never choose it is what it is. You need to ensure you...

Hi all I have had a couple of issues with Libre sensors falling off recently which Abbott have dealt with really well. I am keen to get advice on ways to protect the sensor and see what people do to add a cover or similar to keep it in place If you have a patch or other solution that you...

I used a couple off Frio bags last year in Spain and worked perfectly well

Hi I know how you feel although I can't relate to the action. I am now 51 and was diagnosed T1 last July after ongoing illness and a very difficult couple of years. I find it a pain in the **** generally and given a choice I wouldn't have it of course. I find injecting annoying as I used to...

I am on 1/10 breakfast and lunch and 1/15 for the evening meal and thanks I will do

That's fine

Hi. I am 50 and 6 months into a T1 diagnosis following a lot of stress over the preceding year as I lost my Mother in Law via Dementia and my Dad to a brain tumour then cancer. Alongside this my work was very demanding and as I work for myself suffered and increased the stress and pressure I...

I use Novorapid balanced against carb intake (1 unit/10g carb). What is basal testing? Rest makes sense and need to read up and learn more I think. Appreciate the help as can be confusing and overwhelming at times

No although a recent cholesterol test was a little high so I am awaiting a Dr chat but would prefer not to be prescribed them if I can help it and use diet to balance me out as I am fit and eat pretty well
