In my case it won’t be monthly cycle related as I’m into the menopause now. But it could definitely be hormone related due to the menopause I guess. I’m on MDI so just having to feel my way through it. My evening meal ratio last night was still 1:40. It’s a bit of a challenge being so sensitive.

I’ve just remembered this happened to me once before a good few years ago, at a similar time of year oddly. My endo suspected addison’s disease but the test came back negative.

Very interested to hear from izzi1234 what happened next because I’m just having the same experience. I’ve reduced my Tresiba down from 15.5 to 14 and it seems like I’m getting stability inbetween eating and overnight, but I’m still not able to take what I’d call a “proper” ratio with my meals...

Thanks Jordan and Holdem. I’ve done it and it’s working. How brilliant as I’m about to go out for a long walk so I’ll be able to updated automatically! Happy new year to everyone.

Hi holdem, Thanks for trying. It really is a puzzle. I’m all ears if you have another theory, or if anyone else has stumbled across the solution.

Hi holdem, I’m afraid not on the constant feed issue. It’s really hit and miss. I get a big pop up occasionally and tap on it rather than “dismiss” and then get the large numbers which constantly update, but it doesn’t always update if I have just the normal watch face on. I’ve just had to get...

I’ve made the switch to the cartridges in the novopen and I haven’t noticed any issues with dose delivery. Although my original DSN always told me to count to ten with every injection, which I duly do. Being insulin sensitive and perimenopausal (so insulin needs change regularly), I’m loving...

Hi Artrex, I’m having the same problems with my Apple Watch since the big 17.0 upgrade. It didn’t do selective readings on the watch face before the recent major software update. It just flashed up every minute with the new value. I also have the loss of connection problem and sometimes I have...

My endo instructed me to move the timing of my Tresiba last year and told me to do it gradually by 2 hours a day until I got to the correct time. On a side issue, he says that even though the makers of Tresiba say it doesn’t matter what time of day it’s taken - it actually does. He told me...

Thank you both for your speedy replies. I really didn’t know I could opt for Tresiba in a cartridge form until today. I will definitely make the change by getting in touch with my gp. I’ve realised the added benefit to me is the half unit measure in the echo pen, as I’m so sensitive sometimes...

Good afternoon all, Has anyone had problems in having their usual Tresiba flexpen prescription fulfilled? My chemist today said it was out of stock for the foreseeable future so I’ve googled and Diabetes.org.uk are saying it’s not available from august 2023 until January 2024 but 3ml...

Hi all, Here’s what I do. I discovered Shuggah in may before all the libre app problems and haven’t looked back since but I have the best of both worlds…. 1) I activate every new sensor with the libre reader. 2) I then make sure blue tooth is “on” the libre app on my phone and start the...

I’ve got an iPhone and am using Shuggah. It works really well. The alarms are great. Better than libre. You just need to do the odd scan to keep your libre graphs joined up. It’s a total game changer for me. Feel like I’ve improved my control massively and it’s showing in my stats. I’ve also got...

Hi. I can’t comment on the tech aspect, but I put a new tegaderm on every sensor which lasts the full 2 weeks. It’s a small square, and very very thin and transparent medical dressing and even though I am allergic to plasters and the sticky coverings InResponse mentioned, the tegaderm dressing...

I also try to stop the hypo before it’s happening, but sometimes even a constant eye on the libre whilst having a gentle stroll can cause a bad drop for me. I’m not on a pump so once that injection is in, extra carbs is my only option. Lift definitely does the job. Even if I only have a small...

For me it’s Lift glucose liquid. Straight in, and your body doesn’t have to digest or convert sugar to glucose because it’s already glucose. One bottle is 15g carb.

I should add that the reason it spooks me is that my ratios and background are often so changeable as I mentioned, so for example last week I was doing 1:12 all week for lunch (same lunch every day, same activity) but then suddenly it’s changed to 1:20. In terms of units of insulin that’s a lot...

Thanks for your reply In Response, and for your insight. To expand, What can happen is I go from a straight across arrow to straight down without a sideways downwards inbetween so there’s no warning and it stays doing that for ages and the number keeps dropping. That’s not so bad in some...

Hi all. Hoping someone with some experience of this tech can offer some thoughts. In the settings of the Shuggah app there’s an option to use the blue tooth raw data from the Libre 2 but apply it to the x-drip (who make Shuggah, I gather), algorithm. When you use this option you have to...
