I had this a few months ago, I’m on Toujeo though. I went from 22 units per day to 32, my insulin requirement felt insane. I do vary by a few units throughout the month so I just kept going with it…. But it’s now settled down and I’m back to around 25 units. I have no idea what was causing...

It’s a winter velvet one, so has long sleeves but wide legs - my thoughts are I can roll the legs up pretty easy and get to my thighs!

Oh fat is not a problem!!! Thank you

I’m pretty new to T1. I want to wear one of my old jumpsuits out for Christmas party but won’t be able to access tummy or tops of arms. Can I inject in my thighs?

Thank you, I’ve just rung and sending me a new one. Apparently it’s my first time ringing as I wasn’t registered! I wasn’t aware to keep on to faulty sensor and it’s already in my sharps bin so I don’t have that inconvenience this time! Thank you again for support.

Also have you had any trouble getting replacements? I’ve only done it once and that was easy but wasn’t sure if they can funny if you have a bad run?

I’ve taken it out and it looks as exactly as you’ve described. I think the filament hasn’t penetrated through skin which is why it’s not reading. I’ll ring again in morning and continue finger pricking. Technology- great when it works.

My new sensor is currently on a the loop you described, says it’s loose. It isn’t. This is replacement one, incredibly bad luck to have two faulty in a row! But being lucky, being using since July and had no issues till the last two.

I had a faulty sensor that fell off after 2 days. The adhesive was still on my arm but the sensor not attached. Rang and got a new one that arrived today, however it won’t scan. Just on a loop to restart sensor and that it’s not properly attached but is…. Any advice? I can’t possibly be so...

Is your consultant happy with this? Mine is 43 and I’ve been told too low and to not have such strict control. I’m currently really struggling as I was doing well and keeping in range since consultation I feel much more out of control and am definitely having more highs….. but not as many lows...

When I was first diagnosed I was on 16 units- as my pancreas has stopped working this has gradually gone up and up currently taking 32 units but it’ll go back down next week as I’m on my period. I often have adjust during month as I need more when ovulating too….

I was diagnosed type 1 just over a year ago, just had my results from second hba1c, last time was 47 - currently 43!!!!

I’m also new to sensors and I’ve been struggling with false lows. Now whenever my alarm goes off I’m checking before adjusting/eating as it’s often wrong. However like you I’ve been trusting the highs!

I’ve really struggled with my last two sensors getting incorrect readings. I’m now finger pricking every low alarm as more often than not they are wrong. My graph is doing what yours is, when it’s been incorrect it then shows on graph as higher and more inline with results getting from my meter.

I’m on my 3rd sensor and have been experiencing problems. I’ve had 3 false hypos in 4 days since I put it on. My alarm has just gone off, reading was 2.9 on my monitor says I’m 5.1.

Thank you if it continues to be erratic I might contact abbot as I’ve also had a gap in graph. I didn’t think anything about it till now!

Do people find that reading vary from arm to arm?

I’m new to wearing a sensor. On my third sensor. The first 2 I wore on my left arm, to let healing/removing sticky stuff I’ve put the 3rd sensor for the first time on my right arm. I’m not getting on nearly as well! I was woken up with alarm to say I 3.3 in night, I have good hypo awareness...

They suspect my type 1 diabetes was bought on by having Covid. I also know someone else who was in icu with Covid and now has type 1 diabetes.

Then why are you advised to take your bloods 2 hours after eating?
