My optician suggested Hylo Forte, and when I was still struggling with dry eyes, the hospital eye clinic Consultant prescribed Hylo Night (it's an ointment). I now get both on prescription and like them. Edited to add - they can both be bought over the counter.

It could be that an increased prescription for Pregablin or another medication would help. Likewise maybe 2 different medications together may be more effective as @grantg mentioned. If you haven't already tried that, you could maybe discuss the possibility with your GP.

Where did you keep your insulin, and if you needed to give extra insulin outside of meals, what happened?

Thanks @Bill_St I dread the thought of having to be admitted to hospital because of issues like this.

Great result, well done @James G

Photo machine ones are fine @ElenaP

Could you send to Dexcom for a free trial, and either use that for 10 days along with the Libre, or as the only cgm?

Apologies I obviously read it too quickly!

I think the difference is that in previous trials/patients they had to take immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of their lives, whereas this trial has a drug given once beside the islet cells.

Really sorry you've had/are having such an awful time @Nicola M Sending hugs and hope you start to feel better soon.

So sorry to hear that @becca59 It's always really hard losing a parent. I hope you enjoy your holiday.

Glad you got a response @agylli

I asked the receptionist, and she sent the practice manager a message, but nothing came of it.

You're lucky!! The practice manager at my surgery won't respond to letters or telephone calls to the surgery asking to make an appointment to speak to her.

Always good to read your posts @Tony337

I was the same nearly 60 years ago @Tony337 and also not getting the banana sandwich when everyone else did. I got cheese or cold meat if I was lucky!!

Another one using tubed Tandem, which has never leaked. Have you talked to your hospital team? Leaked insulin can be due to not rotating sites well, or pods becoming loose.

Not heard of that @lovinglife as I'm in a similar situation with all my nails.

Can you rub Vick on when the chilblains have split the skin @Outlier as I've got terrible ones on my hands.

It's the range my hospital team use.
