Thanks all for the replies. Im loving it more for the visuals and im finding im about 1 point behind figure pricking. Still finger pricking ocassionally mainly in a morning and on a night. Im lucky ive got a free 6m trial on it but i was going to self fund if not.

Thank you, and yeah im quite obsessed with it at the moment and keep scanning. I do love it though as its nice to see a visual.

Hey guys, so one year in (t1/lada, they arebt quite sure) been on insulin a year, hit a bit of a brick wall mentally with it all and got the ok for libre trial. Libre now on. Bit addicted and constantly scanning its a little bit behind blood pricking. Questions: Will libra always have a time...

Libreing

Thank you a bit of sun before the winter hits us

Yeah true could be any reason it's just such a massive learning curve this for me and it scared me having the hypo. Espesh as flying tomorrow morning. Oh well must buy some more jelly babies.

So new to this game - well not a game but you catch my drift. Anyway just injected fast acting (1/2 unit per 10g of carb) then straight after got a hot bath. After got out of the bath felt nauseous, then the shakes came then the sweats. Bloods 3.2. Going back up now but seriously scared me...

Ah right I've got a fridge when I arrive but it's the travel and taking the spare unopened ones I was wondering about

I moisturise every night using Nivea or a foot cream. Keeps them soft and check for blisters or hard skin etc.

I'm going next week for 4 days but it's only 2 half hour flight am planning on taking pre filled pens with 2 extras. As I will have already opened 2 of the pens will I need a frio bag for the unopened spares?

Thanks everyone I guess cos it was so painful, and I'm not exaggerating it was ****** horrible that maybe made me feel wobbly and nothing to do with diabetes. Thanks all for your replies. Who'd be a femail eh x Edited by moderator

Yeah they have been a little lower than normal

Hey all so today had a coil change, painful as ever and have felt wobbly all afternoon. Will this be due to my sugars reacting to the pain! Had to lay down for half an hour in the clinic after as I went a bit faint. New to all this.

1st test since diagnosis in August. 101 down from 128. Still not good but in the right direction.

Thank you KK for a sensible answer I agree you can only have one plastic bag and I can't fit the prefilled pens in them.

Pick what up Mike?

Ok what do you put them in to go through security then?

Hi all going away shortly, do I pop my needles and insulin pens in clear plastic bags to go through security at the airport? I have a letter from my diabetic nurse.

Thanks everyone there's a lot to take in at the moment but I appreciate your help and advice. I really don't think anyone knows if I'm 1 or 2 but at the moment I need to concentrate on what works best for me in terms of getting things more stable x

So got my results back for antibodies today. Negative!! Argggh. So still not sure if T1 or T2 but treating as type 1 at the moment as responding well to the insulin. This disease is soooo confusing.
