I find sometimes if I leave my phone in a room and go out of Bluetooth range it can loose signal. I try opening tomato app, then quitting it and starting the app again. That usually gets them talking to each other without having to press the little reset button on the MiaoMiao.

I’m type 2 currently not on medication or insulin. If this is not what your looking for then feel free to ignore.

Probably to save money. My catheter supplies used to be provided by a medical supplies company, they phoned me every month, reminded me it was time to re-order asked me what I needed, I agreed to what I wanted. They then contacted my GP got the prescription and mailed me my supplies. To save...

6.3 this morning. And it’s before 8am while I’m not out of bed yet I’m not asleep, that’s progress. Yesterday I was almost so good having lunch out with my father. He ordered a starter I resisted, I went for ham egg and chips and ordered a side of steamed veg. I passed my chips onto father and...

I want to start by apologising to those who are finding their sleeping hours robbed, I seem to be an unwilling thief! Went to sleep at 11 last night, woke at 7 this morning and turned over after meds back to sleep until gone 10am and I’m taking a day time nap also. Please come and take back your...

Hey a day when fbs actually is valid. 5.4 this morning. Think today I’m off to visit grandmother. Also thinking of going to do a surprise visit/spot check on alcoholic father as I know he skipped work yesterday (my mother is on holiday), expecting to find him in the pub mind.

Sorry I didn’t get fbg again. Been busy today with paper crafting. Made a couple of box cards with candles, and magnetic notepads which I’m just waiting on mini calendars. I’ve also included pics of where I got to in my beading. Candle box cards Magnetic note pads (need to add...

I’ve kinda been awol again. No fasting bg today as I slept from 7pm yesterday till 1am to get up and watch the F1, then back to bed about 9am to get back up at 1pm ready for America football, watched one game onto the second and I can go through with game after game until 5am. I’ve made a wagon...

I believe that the stock/farm have more rigorous health checks if the they are selling milk as unpasteurised, however as it’s not treated there is obviously a higher risk of it containing something. Hence the required warnings accompanying it when you purchase it. I’m sure if you spoke to the...

NHS 111 maybe able to give advice medical advice on the medication.

Hi @edward1941 welcome to the forum. What type of insulin are you on? Usually if it’s a long acting one they will start you on a lower dose and increase it every couple of weeks until your in the target zone for sugar levels. Your hab1c is quite high but there are ways to get that down, insulin...

You are correct, you will alway be diabetic therefore entitled to vat exemption for supplies, as having the diagnosis is the qualifying factor (unless they change this in the future). For nhs prescriptions the qualifying factor is being medicated for diabetes.

4.6 this morning. Feeling like death warmed up (only slightly though) temp 35.6. In pain everywhere even my legs (which I haven’t felt in 8 years) so deductions made that it’s all in my head. Trying to work out if this is a neuro flare up, coming down with something viral, or the chiropractor...

@annliggins its Murphy’s law, you never clip a doorway once, stick a 2-3mm libre on the arm and doorways are 2 foot narrower!:D :banghead: @Jc3131 I use tegaderm slightly larger patches than @KenBachelor but mine covers the MiaoMiao2 also. Other methods that have been mentioned in the past by...

Maybe she will understand how impossible it is to be aware of sugar levels if she’s not testing her levels. I know it’s different for type 1 to type 2 but if she can’t guess what her levels are how are type 2s supposed to get any idea if they are not issued with a metre and strips? (I know she’s...

I’m up for that if it’s kept simple, something I can copy and paste, writing letters isn’t my strong point. And a dummies guide to finding out where I need to send it.

To qualify for free prescriptions diabetics have to be on medication (tablets or injections) and you have to get an medical exemption certificate, this will be filled out by the gp, and sent off where they will issue you with a card. As others have said this is valid for 5 years. Even if you...

4.9 this morning. I’ve started the next wagon for the train but it’s just a black flat rectangle right now. Today I got to go to town then attend the diabetic eye screening clinic with grandmother, theory being she can’t throw a hissy-fit at my mother if she’s not there. I think I might well be...

5.7 this morning. Another day of sleeping after meds went to bed just after midnight and getting out of bed at 11am. Really don’t know what’s going on with my body, partly happy to live with the idea of sleep if my body needs it, but I hate wasting the morning. I’d love to see some of the bits...
