    Dexcom G5 to G6 - app on iPhone 8

    I’m switching from Dexcom G5 to G6. I use the Dexcom app on my iPhone 8. Do I just download the G6 app and away I go or delete the g5 app first? Does this affect Clarity? Thanks.

    Local diabetes groups - do you attend?

    Yes it is a bit biased towards older mostly type 2s. But we have a mix of t1 and t2 so I’m looking for ideas to attract everyone. I’m a type 1 myself

    Local diabetes groups - do you attend?

    Our speakers are mostly NHS professionals from various departments. DSNs, chiropodist, eye specialists etc. No one tells anyone what to eat.

    Local diabetes groups - do you attend?

    Hi I was wondering how many people here go to an actual diabetes meeting in their local area. I go to the Chester Diabetes UK group and am possibly going to become secretary of the group soon. Are local meetings relevant do you think? Or has the internet become the font of all knowledge...

    Whatever happened to the type 1 low carb program? It was last year I think, I’m still waiting for the email to say it has started. Did I miss it?

    Beta blockers

    I’m pretty unfit so 80-90 is normal for me. No problem there. But it has to be slow for the scan. Don’t know why.

    Beta blockers

    I’m on Bisoprolol 1.25mg twice a day. Have to take a higher dose for 3 days before a heart CT on 15th January to get heart rate down to 50-60 on the day. Usually 80-90!!!! Thanx for the replies. It’s obviously my overindulgence after all [emoji23][emoji33][emoji23]

    Beta blockers

    I am having some tests for angina and in the meantime have been prescribed beta blockers to slow my heart rate down. Do they have an effect on glucose levels only I’ve been struggling to keep them down. It could be overindulging at Christmas too but just wondered. Thanks.

    Your daily low-carb routine?

    I have high cholesterol which I’m struggling to control even on the highest rise of statins. Cream and fat are no good for me.

    Help!! Dexcom and new iPhone issue

    Hi I've got a new iPhone and have set everything up. But i can't get my G5 dex transmitter to pair with the new phone. It says "transmitter not found" after I've scanned the barcode and waited the 30 mins. It still appears to be reading fine on the old phone. I've been on hold to dexcom uk...

    Your daily low-carb routine?

    Are you t2s in this thread? I’m T1 and I’d be starving if that’s all I ate. I’m waiting to see what the low carb T1 program is going to be like.

    Type 1 Low Carb Program Trial

    Hi. A while ago I expressed my interest in the low carb trial for type 1s. About a week ago I had an email asking me to fill out a survey I’d got most of the way through (I think) when it crashed but when I tried again it said I had already filled it out. I’ve not heard anything since despite...

    G4 Sensor,g5 Transmitter And Iphone

    Probably a bit late to be asking as I’ve just inserted it but does a Dexcom G4 sensor and a G5 transmitter combination still work with the iPhone app? My DSN gave me four free G4 sensors but I’ve been using g5s so far. Guess I’ll find out in an hour and a half!!!
