Hi! Firstly, apologies for being a negative Nancy BUT.. am I really the only one not compatible with the G4 sensors? [emoji17] They literally fail after every 2-3 days, it’s so disrupting and painful removing / inserting them this frequent. Medtronic have done tech checks, replaced my pump...

I am sick to the back teeth of these G4 sensors! Literally failing every 2-3 days, never had this issue with my libre; Medtronic have kindly replaced my transmitter and my pump, was feeling so hopeful but just been out for lunch and it starts.. ‘Sensor updating’ then ‘Sensor not working, insert...

It’s big differences! G4 - 8.2 Libre - 13.2 Finger prick - 10.2 It doesn’t calibrate either, just drops back down on the meter!

Morning! I’ve recently started with the Medtronic 780g which in itself is a learning curve! However, I’m still wearing my libre and the discrepancies I’m getting from my libre vs my G4 sensor are huge! G4 - 8.2 Libre - 13.2 Huge discrepancies! And I’ve don’t a finger stick test and it’s...

Hi! This is no help whatsoever but I’m experiencing exactly the same thing and then it fails?! Also, I’m still wearing my libre and the discrepancies between the readings are HUGE!

Thanks so much for your reply [emoji120] I spoke with a friend of a friend who actually works at Medtronic (Thanks goodness!) turns out I needed to do a correction as it is in manual mode.. went up to 17.2!! Terrifying [emoji38] Will persevere though! [emoji123]

Hi! Had my 780g and Guardian 4 sensor fitted today.. they’ve started me off on manual mode but I cant believe I didn’t write down whether I should be doing correction doses or not and I’m PANICKING! Did a bolus with lunch at 2:45 and it’s now 13.2.. do I correct?!

Hi all [emoji846] Feel very lucky to be getting fitted with a pump early March; I’m getting the 780g with a G4 sensor? (Think that’s it!) Anyway. After injecting for so many years, I’ve far from nailed my control but I’m still a bit scared about a device doing correction doses for me, and...

Is anyone else seriously struggling with the libre constantly failing, giving sensor error messages and not working when you REALLY need it to?! It’s making me SO anxious, I find it so unreliable lately, never used to be this bad! Anyone else?!

Hi, firstly just removed my libre and have got this odd mark/bruise.. anyone else had this? Also - what are you all using to keep your Nightrider in place? Thanks!

Hi thanks for your reply; my main meal was a chicken breast with a bit of cheese and some chips (I’m used to carb counting chips though) I use lantus, usually take it around 10:30pm Meal was 7:15pm Probably should have added that I’m also 9weeks pregnant ‍♀️‍♀️

Hi all Tonight at dinner I treated myself to a brownie for pudding. I always thought if you check an hour after injecting that’s a good indicator as to if you’ve injected the right amount? However this has happened a few times with various foods lately.. Before meal 6.6, One hour later 5.2...

Help! I’m a type 1 diabetic and have just found out I’m 2-3 weeks pregnant.. unplanned. This means I’ve not been taking the folic acid (I am aware you are supposed to take a higher dose 3months prior to conception) and am worried about how this would affect the baby. My HbA1C was 60 in the...

Hi Just wondered how your pregnancy went and how you both are?

Afternoon all! One of my friends who is a GP suggested the above as I mentioned I have pre-proliferative retinopathy.. so before I speak to my consultant I wondered has anyone tried this or been advised to use it before?? Basically, has anyone ever heard anything good or bad about using...

Hi, Thanks for your reply - Did yours bleed?

Hi! So, went to the Chiropodist today as I have a corn on my foot. Sexy, I know. I’ve been to see one before who used to just scrape the top layer off very gently, never actually cutting me and then would put some cream on. Well he sadly retired and today I saw a new lady. She cut me. And it...

Done! [emoji3]

Hi, Thanks for this post, I love to see refreshing stuff like this! Can I just clarify.. you’ve had a Pancreas transplant?? I’ve never heard of that before.. do you still take insulin? Can you share more with me? I hope you don’t mind me asking. Vicky [emoji4]

Hi @Dora12 [emoji1423] You’re not alone in the slightest; I’ve had diabetes for 30years now and I was a terrible teen.. like you though I settled don once at work (well not properly until my late twenties!) And getting the levels under control can seem unrewarding.. but you’ll get there! Have...
