I suspect the answer is "It's an Apple thing". But I can't get my Glucomen meter to connect via NFC to my iPhone X. It used to work with an iPhone SE. And it definitely works with a Samsung Galaxy (Android). But the iPhone refuses to connect. Has anyone had any luck/tips? Thank you.

This is about the Freestyle Libre 2. Does anyone know if you also have to buy the reader as well as the sensors or does the iphone app now activate the sensor? The instructions on the sensor suggest that the phone now activates it without needing the reader but I dont want to open the pack...

Whilst doing some research to get my head around GI and GL (having swapped arborio rice for pearl barley in a risotto and got a good result with my bsl) decided to google pearl barley and after a few links came across this. I found this webpage which lists the GL of a lot of basic foods. It is...

Anyone got any views or data on the pros and cons of eating nuts. I am so confused over the fats issue (good and bad fats) and the general trauma of cholesterol control that it is actually driving me nuts. I am a deteriorating Type 2; diagnosed about four years ago and on Metformin. I have quite...
