I am in Newcastle upon Tyne and they have just started approving people and starting them on recently. I am having to pay for the cgm part myself but it is a small price to pay to have the use of the system properly!

Hi, Yeah it was the 670g on there, it links to a guardian 3 sensor which is a step forward apparently from the empire sensors. It uses an algorithm to calculate and give insulin doses based upon data that the user has already inputted over the course of around 2-4 weeks so that is has an...

This might sound like a daft question but why not move into MDI then there potentially wouldn’t be an issue moving forward with the pumps etc.. just thinking for future holidays etc..

Hi, Just had an appointment at my diabetic clinic and due to the dawn phenomenon, they are going to consider a pump for me. Waking up at around 3 every night and then going to work has seriously affected my body and mind. They have said that they offer the Medtronic 640g or omnipod. I’m not...

Hi chickenboy, where abouts are you from if you don’t mind me asking? It is just that I am in a just about identical situation as you regarding dawn phenomenon and blood sugars rising when I’m not exercising. I had an appointment at my clinic which is based within a diabetes resource...

I did the 30 day trial in the first instance and just before that ended I ordered another 3 sensors from the online store. This was because the transmitter lasts 3 months so I thought it would be a waste to not try and get some more. I will try it again for the final 30 days too. Why don’t...

Sorry that should have said inject that many times. Stupid autocorrect!

I don’t have to object that many times but it does really effect me, especially since I have previously had to see a health psychologist for needle phobia. Been diabetic for 30 years and still not really much further forward with it. I am like you though as I need to be up at least once at 3am...

Hi, I am totally in the same boat as you by the sounds of it. According to the NICE guidelines I cannot have a pump. Although I have been experiencing dawn phenomenon and having to object about 8-11 times approx to stay in control. I am trying to meet with another consultant outside of my own...

I am currently on my third G6 sensor after being on the libre for a while before that. I can honestly say I would never go back to the libre. The G6 has given me so much more of an insight into my control especially with the ability to receive alarms, no scanning and it really is exceptionally...

Well I just got my Dexcom G6 today as I was on holiday! Sensor was great to put on, didn’t really feel a thing. I hated waiting the 2 hours though as I just wanted to see what it was like! Once up and running it has been great, I checked my bloods to see if there was any real difference and so...

That is a really good explanation to how you have found the G6. Thank you. Looking forward to receiving mine now so I can get started.

I have just ordered the one months trial of the G6 and they mentioned about the app. I will feedback as to how it goes in the next few weeks.

Hi, By any chance does anyone currently use a Dexcom G6 with an iPhone whilst running iOS 11.4? I have just been chatting to one of their representatives and they have said that I would need to downgrade back to 11.3 at the moment as they have not completed testing of their software and it...

Fair point, I am going to try a few different places. Unfortunately because I work in a school with children who have challenging behaviours and it is often the case that restraint is needed and used, the places they can be used are limited. Trial and error but unfortunately the cost may...

Yeah I have had a good look at them and the real downfall for me was how big they actually made the sensor. I know it isn’t huge but the fact that the surface area to be caught on something or grabbed by one of the students I work with in my job gave me cause for concern. Otherwise they may...

How did you go about ordering the g6? Do you have to ring them during the week?

Thank you, hugely appreciated!

Hi, Does anybody know what the best app is in the uk for using with the Dexcom G6 on an iphone and Apple Watch!? Just looking for one I had been told that was xdrip but can’t seem to find it on the App Store! Thanks Michael

I am currently still using the Libre, trying to work out money for the G6. Will you keep me informed as to how you find it etc.. please?
