Those are really interesting figures, Daphne917. Do they mean you are no longer considered diabetic by your health care professionals?

Just come to the end of my first Libre sensor. I used to be on simvastatin with total cholesterol kept at about 5.5, but was changed to atorvastatin when I was diagnosed with Type II. Three months later, my total cholesterol was down to 3.9, but was that down to the new statin or to the low...

Some contributors on this forum have clearly done quite a lot of research. I am just three days into my trial of the Libre, and fascinating it is. I have had a couple of days away from home and thought that for the first time since my diagnosis four months ago, I would eat rather irrationally...

Hi. I am the same age as you, though male. What is your current BMI as a guide to where you stand compared with the general population. I have lost 16lbs on a low carb diet since diagnosis with type 2 four months ago, bringing my BMI to 19. My wife was getting concerned re the inexorable weight...

This drug is slow to start to work and is cumulative in effect. Stick with it.

Anyone looked to getting a protective case for the Libre meter? I imagine the touch screen to be suscetpible to damage from contact with other hard materials, in, for instance, one's bag.

Where is this information available?

Thanks, Ledzeptt. You are right about frequently checking with the meter! I was looking for ways to permanently record the data on my PC. My phone is an IPhone and my wife’s phone is not NFC capable, so no options there. By looking on this forum, I came across the Diasend software which is now...

Just a few hours into the first use of this technology and I’m loving it. I have read the manual but cannot find an answer to this question: Does the sensor have the capability of recording glucose levels at set intervals which are then relayed to the meter when the meter is brought into close...

Thanks for that, Snapsy. Very helpful.

Received my Libre today and now up and running. I have taped over the sensor for security. A slightly trivial query but I am a keen cyclist who wears closely fitting Lycra tops and the sleeves often have to dragged up the arms when putting them on. Anyone out there come to grief dragging such...

Thank you.

Interesting, Peter. There is probably not an answer to this, but is it because interstitial fluid glucose is different from blood glucose, or is the discrepancy there because the Libre is less accurate?

And I have discovered my wife’s phone is not NFC enabled [emoji45] I am going to have to stick with the meter. Starter pack now ordered...

Just watched a video that shows notes can be added!

Just discussing the combination of Libre and a food diary with my wife. I presume one cannot annotate the Libre data with a record of relevant important ‘eats’ on that day, to help give a record of what to avoid. Best of all would be if the Libre software incorporated a food diary....

Woooh, yet another stat to look at whilst I am cycling!

Too true, Peter. Taking 20% off doesn’t work to the same result ‘in reverse’. Embarrassing!

Just been online to order a Libre starter pack. I entered the free delivery voucher code quoted in this thread which was accepted. The advertised starter pack price was £159:95 inc VAT. I entered the application for VAT exemption on the grounds that I have diabetes. My calculation of 20% off...

Looks like the Librelink app for using with the Libre sensor is currently only available for Android phones and not for Apple? Is this correct and, if so, anyone have any info whether Abbott on working on producing an IOS version. Otherwise I am going to have to steal my wife’s phone!
