Yes it is - thanks. I've used medical tape, its been great but even then I sometimes have problems. I play a lot of squash and a larger sleeve might be a little restrictive in the racket swing. Hoping it can work on the stomach - if anyone else has experiences there?

Hi all. I've used Freestyle Libre a few times - I love it - but I find it often comes off from my arm, even when using tape to help keep it on. If I catch my arm on a door, for example, it can come off. I follow the instructions to the letter when 'infusing' it, but wondered if anyone has tried...

I too am a finger pricker and they're great for spots in time. But take this example: Two weeks ago my BG levels hit the high 20s (my HbA1c is mid 7s so this was freak). I could not fathom why. For the next 24 hours I pumped in an entire cartridge that would normally last 4 days. I must have...

Education is unfortunately the challenge among the Type 2 diabetes population (and I do not mean that to all those with T2, but it is a well known among the medical community that better education could significantly minimise the better incidence). However, type 1 diabetes is less about...
