How annoying!! Are they suggesting any other options?

How’s it going? I got prescribed it today. A tad confused as to why (6.4%,HBA1c; not overweight) but will give it a go,

I’m type 1 and was told 21 meant hospitalisation. Really hope you’re feeling ok.

Hi everyone, I am trialling a Miao Miao which is great but kind of annoying as I’m an Apple user and can’t seem to access Spike. So I’ve been down an app rabbit hole these last 2 days and Diabits answered a question I had with the info below. Maybe it’s not new news but as I’m just about to...

Sorry, meant to include https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Heller

According to Wikipedia Dr Adam Heller will turn 87 on 25th June. I feel we should do something to celebrate! Any ideas?

Thanks guys, sorry for my delay I was trying to upload photos of what was going on (too difficult to explain without visuals!) but it wouldn’t let me and I gave up. So I downloaded Singapore’s LibreLink and it’s all fine. I think it might be because Italy uses mg/dL but Singapore uses...

Hi everyone, I got prescribed Libre in Italy and then we moved to Singapore. My Italian libreS finished today, so I started using my bought () Singaporen libre. I had to get the Singaporen LibreLink app and have just logged onto libreview to check its ok. It’s not! Do I need to start a...

Thanks for all the informative advice! I did it and something has changed as there are lower 3am spikes. However, I am having 1-4 hypos a day so I’m guessing that’s probably the cause of lower overnight BGs. Also, I’ve started a new job and cycle 25 mins there and back, whereas before I was...

Hi all, I’m fairly confident my morning rise is due to dawn phenomenon. Would taking my Tresiba at bed, rather than morning, be helpful? I think Tresiba has a fairly flat profile but I don’t know what else to do, since I hypo if I give myself 0.5 of a unit of humalog before bed. Any thoughts?

Aw no!! Trying to avoid that! Maybe I'll wait till I can get some skintac and use my Libre again.

Hi again knowledgeable people, We've just relocated to Asia and I'm job hunting so I've a lot of time to play with my Diabetes. I've been taking a break from the Libre due to sweating it off so today I've used my morning to input my BGs into the One Drop/ Apple Health app. I sort of did it...

Weird [unnecessary] things you see that advertisers have stuck the word “diabetes” on.

Thanks so much! I found the app too.

No, it was over 10 years ago now. I’ve had subsequent dietitian appointments though and they’ve never mentioned it. It’s the injection site thing that really blows my mind though. All I remember being told is don’t inject in a place you’re about to exercise with and move them round.

Did it in glasgow!! But a long time ago so I don’t know if it wasn’t so on the the ball or I’ve forgotten

Thanks guys. It was the Libre that caused him to recommend this 15 minute thing! Tbh I think as I do my own research I realise I’ve been so focussed over the years about carb counting that I’m only just beginning to understand the more subtle things that medics forget to mention (time of day...

Hello all, I had a slight anti- eureka moment and wondered your thoughts on it. So I was on Novoraoid for years, since 2006 or something, and I SWEAR they told me that I could inject once my plate was in front of me. So that’s what I did. Then this year my new diabetiologist said I...

Hi Bill166, just wondering which insulin(s) you bought and how much they cost?
