    Reliability of disposable pens

    I've found sometimes the disposable pens click a little more than the selected units but it's sometimes the movement of your finger/thumb that readjusts it or it just randomly clicks more however it still objects the selected units no more no less

    some feedback on using the FreeStyle Libre sensor

    It's not unfortunately, I've emailed them in January when I did my trial and they said not for the near future so maybe worth checking up in 6 months or so. I presume the company need more feedback or more money before they can involve the NHS?

    T1 - drastically needing help with how to carb count and actually control my glucose levels

    Thank you - firstly how did you find out your carb ratio? It baffles me. I have only singular units on my novo rapid pen, not had the chance to try the pump, is it free on the NHS?
