From the Facebook group this morning 29/05/20 IMPORTANT: OOPWeb Service/Algorthim update There has been an update to the Abbott algorithm (v2.3 -> v2.4) which is now causing accuracy problems since early last week with the external OOPWeb service used by xDrip4iOS (and several other CGM...

I see so many food items on here that I personally wouldn't touch, so I thought I'd post up a few T1D meals I eat to add some variety, I'm currently looking to gain a couple of kg so have upped the portion size and insulin injection to suit, I'm coming up to my 34th or 35th diaversary, mostly...

I have in the past used a Tens machine for my dodgy shoulder, is there any reason the pads could affect affect a nearby Libre sensor?

And scores a goal, Nacho, Spain, brought a smile to my face did that :)

So today was my retinal screening/eye clinic followed by the diabetes centre upstairs, unfortunately mother was rushed into hospital yesterday, she's 92 and I got a phone call at 06.30 to tell me her condition had deteriorated overnight and I should get there ASAP. As I was 'on site' I got to...

My reader's working but since 1pm hasn't drawn the line it usually shows, I just use a reader & sensor, check frequently and haven't had this happen before. I'm wary of resetting it as I'm at the clinic on Thursday to see the consultant and collect the next Libre script and the nurse wants the...

This batch are reported dodgy on one of the diabetes charity Facebook pages....

With the consultant later this month with a view to moving from Lantus to Tresiba :nailbiting:, and I've finally managed to get B&D Viva 4mm needle tips on my repeat prescription, that only took one Drs appointment and 3 surgery visits to give written info as to what I was asking for (4mm B&D...

So I'm staying over at my old mums, basal time and I've left a clipped stump where the needle should be. In a cupboard I've found some unopened 12mm tips best before Sept 98 :p so it's one of them or the one on my Humalog pen, I'm leaning towards the out of date unopened pin, what do you...

I'm getting on with the Libre pretty well, the only problem I have is the Tegaderm patch starts peeling after 8 or 9 days, probably due to swimming, last time I pressed down on the sensor and peeled the film off, but was worried I'd pull it out, the current one is peeling too, any swimmers got...

:p 4mm needles and I can't feel a thing, they're ok aren't they :) In fact I'm shocked, shocked that no-ones ever bothered to ask me if I wanted to change from 12mms, now all I've got to do is get the GPs to swap them on my repeat list, I've an unopened box of 500 12mms, can I give them back to...

I had no supper last night and a unit of fast acting as my bloods were over 10, but woke at 7am at 10.6 so just had a standard 3u of Humalog, I'm still sat in my pjs at 10.4 having risen to 12.5, the libre is showing a flat line 2 hours 40 minutes post injection and my foods still sat on the...

That is so annoying grrrr, I swipe the sensor and the reader tells me I have 3 days left, but I already know that, I just wanted a glucose reading, but it's going to do this over regularly for the next 3 days and it's irritating It annoyed me during the trial as I knew when it finished but I'd...

So having managed to get a script for the device I have some questions, if I get to keep the device I'll upgrade my phone and use the BluCon (thanks to Scott-C for the info posted on that) but for now I'm interested what software's available on a pc for logbook editing, I'm forgetting to mark an...

I've just left a face book freestyle libre group as comments have been removed for a post referring to a dog owner buying a sensor/reader for their dog. I saw the post and was warming up for some breakfast trollage on the subject, but I can't so I left. It's an irrational annoyance I'm feeling...

Having discovered my local areas yet to be announced libra criteria, and noting blood testing over 8 times a day isn't on the list here (although advised by the RMOC) I'm interested to know what the term 'recently' entails? Can I claim to be discriminated against if my impaired awareness has...
