If you're using an iPhone, go into settings in the Dexcom One app and make sure Apple Health is turned off. Some people have had issues with this.

I switched from Libre 2 to Dexcom One in September 2022, as I was having lots of Libre sensor failures. The Dexcom sensors have been brilliant, every sensor since September has lasted the full 10 days and the accuracy is excellent. You can calibrate the Dexcom One using the Shuggah app for...

I've had to replace every sensor of the last 5 or 6. They are fine for 12 hours or so, then just fail. Abbott replace them, but the same thing keeps happening. This only started a few weeks ago.

Could switching to once daily Tresiba be an alternative to injecting Lantus twice a day? Because of the longer acting profile.

Hi All, I was diagnosed a few months ago. Since then I've mainly been eating each meal around four hours after the last. When checking two hours after eating, my blood sugar rise is within normal range. It's still normal before the next meal. I've noticed that when I leave it five to six hours...

I'm 25 years old, diagnosed about two weeks ago. Happy to chat :)

Hi, I was in hospital for 5 days about two weeks ago, where I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. So I have some understanding of how you must be feeling. I think it's even harder being in hospital at the moment, especially since no family or friends are allowed to visit. Thank god for Wi-Fi...

Will do, thanks a lot! :)

Ok, thanks for the info. The diabetes nurse is ringing me on Thursday, so I will ask her then.

Yes, I can't understand it myself. It's only since I started eating cereal. I'm on Novorapid with meals and 13 units of Lantus at night.

Hi, thanks for replying. I've been told to only test before meals at the moment, so I'm not sure.

Hi All, I'm newly diagnosed with type 1 as of the 25th of May 2020. I've been told to test my blood sugar only before meals and before bed. Since diagnosis I've been having boiled eggs and wholemeal toast for breakfast to keep the carbs to a minimum. This was working for me in terms of keeping...
