    Keeping Libre Sensor on

    I've lost the Libre Sensor stuck to my arm by scraping through a door, diving in water and getting it knocked off. My doctor lets me have transparent plasters to keep the Libre Sensor on. But I've got a better idea...! Buy a pair of sports socks and cut off the ankle. My one with a Nike symbol...

    And have no record of Theresa May mentioning she tested her blood sugars frequently, and even if she did, that sidesteps the point. Diabetics who have a brittle control of their blood glucose levels are dying of insulin shock. Libre users don't need to blood test. They have easy access to their...

    After Brexit pharmaceutical firms could well be off to Europe.

    Scotland was told to vote Remain otherwise it won't be allowed in Europe. So she did. Now England has voted to leave.

    'More important things on their agendas' or do you mean yours? I consider saving diabetic's lives VERY important. And Mrs May did NOT give a full disclosure. You should know that administering insulin is only half of the treatment. It has to be controlled by monitoring blood glucose. For those...

    I'm voting SNP. Scotland is lucky in that if we can get a second #indyref we can sit at the big table in Europe. Germany and Spain are 2 countries where the Libre Sensor is given to Type 1 diabetics that need it. We have invested in this powerful trading bloc for a generation, and now we are...

    Why doesn't Theresa May tell us the whole story how she treats her diabetes? Type 1 diabetics are dying from insulin shock, trying to maintain their balance by pricking their fingers and drawing blood to test for glucose. This is the only treatment available on the NHS. If you can afford £100 a...

    Mrs May has her chips!

    Mrs May is not short of weasel words to describe how inclusive she wants her Tory government to be, but she is extremely shy about her blood testing. Anyone seen her pricking her finger? No. I expect she will be using the Libra system at £100 a month and not available on the NHS for ordinary...
