Thanks so much @Janys L that's really helpful.

Thank you @Janys L

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the bin, and one showing the top of it please @Janys L as different ones have different apertures.

Thanks @h884 but my local council wants them put in a sharps bin. Thanks @Janys L and welcome to the forum. The introducer needle was the reason I was asking.

I've recently moved from G6 to G7 and the applicator won't fit through the opening in my sharps bin. I just wanted to ask what size sharps bin to order from GP please?

I saw it mentioned on a news item recently, so I would imagine so. Also I'm currently housebound and need a repeat blood test, but not sure if it's overdue or not, as dr's records just say 'abnormal to be repeated'.

I personally know more than one who doesn't.

Yes, sorry, I would do this as well. Thanks for posting @Jaylee

How are you now @Hoodiegirl3 What did 999 say? Take care.

Really sorry your mum is in so much pain, and has a deep tissue infection. It's hard when those we love are in hospital, and the hospital aren't offering lower carb food choices, but it seems to be common (partly down to budget constraints I would imagine). I agree with @Outlier that your...

Infection can raise blood sugar as well. It would be worth asking your specialist about this today, in case you need antibiotics.

If you Google 'libre 2 domed covers to prevent compression lows' there are a few options to choose from including Amazon and Etsy @daisychain21 I have no experience using any of them, but seems to remember someone else on the forum used them.

That's brilliant @LittleGreyCat I hope you've recovered from your procedure.

Have you tried replacing the pod and a new bottle of insulin, as it could be either of these that aren't working.

I was simply trying to help. If it doesn't apply, disregard it.

Really sorry you're having a hard time. It could be your basal that needs adjusting, so it's probably worth doing a basal test if you haven't already done this. Hot weather means I need less insulin, whilst others need more. What levels are your high and low alarms set at? Can you set another...
