I use a Freestyle Libre meter, but can;t afford to have one constantly. My levels are averaging 12 and I am worried. More below. Over the last six months or so I have lost control of my glucose levels. I am Type 2 on 2 Glyclazide per day. I was on SR Metformin but no longer take it because of...

I saw on the Android app stor an app for Libre 3. Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK. What are the differences with respect to the 2 model?

I have pain in my shoulders, spreading now to across the top of my chest. The pain is not severe, but I am afraid of it getting worse. I consulted my GP by phone about frozen shoulders about a year ago. Basically the attitude was "diabetics get frozone shoulders, we really dont know why" If...

Over on another site I saw someone who has Freestyle Libre on prescription. They said the redings were shared with the GP practice (I imagine they give access to the Freestyle website to the GP) This person used insulin. Anyone here get Freestyle on prescription?

Surprisingly positive phone consultation. My HBA1C is 64, down slightly from 67. SO not good enough yet. I said I was not tolerating Metformin (I have the SR version) and this was accepted without a problem. SO the suggestion is to up the Glyclazide dose, which I am OK with.

I am due a medication review by phone tomorrow. I got a text from the doctors surgery saying that my last BHA1C level ahs high and they want to talk to me. As an aside, it pisses me off when they say 'high' - I can understand numbers and it would be helpful compare with the last two or three...

I have worked in the Netherlands... now you make me think of olliebollen :hungry:

"Any particular reason why porridge needs to remain a staple?" I should have said I am Scottish! I love my Gloagburn Farm oatmeal - tosted first then mad with milk. And salt! Porridge is not a staple for me at the moment - it is an occasional treat. Pakora is lovely, but it seems to be almost...

Regading the 'treat' I am not in remission but my palate has changed. I got a small, cheap pizza from the Coop last week and did not enjoy it. I do not crave chips at all. I used to happily eat Pringles with hummous or dips of an evening, but again dont ,iss that. I do miss some lovely properly...

Thankyou to ll the people who have supported me here or answered my questions. I have found the Freestyle Libre to be invaluable to help me with diabetes. I reported a week ago that the Libre meter showed me at over 14 mmol/litre for a day and I took that as a kick up the backside (I suspect...

Thankyou KK123 Actually my readings DID go down the day after the Libre was attached and started. Maybe I will attach it and leave it for a few hours next time. The app has you attach and take readings after 1 hour. Maybe fo rme it needs longer to settle in.

Thankyou. Today I have eaten: small bowl natural yoghurt at 7am Mid morning - cheese Lunch - a small amount of roasted chicken with onion and mayo Afternoon - more cheese and smoked sausage Dinner will be roasted squash which I have just done, plus the rest of the roast chicken Thanks for...

I got a fresh Freestyle Libre and have been over 12 mmol/litre for the last 24 hours. I am feeling a bit down as I have been following a low carb diet for several months now. I am worried there is something else wrong with me. I do drink wine, and have a habit now of waking at 1am in a sweat. I...

Just discovered a verucca. I will be making an appointment with my GP - I know corn plasters ar a no-no for diabetics and I guess that goes for over the counter preparations with salicylic acid etc. Any advice please - making it clear I will be consulting GP.

I reported to the group that at the back end of last year I felt terrible and was not working well. I got a Libre2 meter and brought my glucose levels down. I stopped using the meters. Over the last month or so I ket things slip a lot, which was confirmed a couple of weeks ago with a new meter...

Not directly relevant to diabetes. I have discovered these walking groups in SE London. Perfect for anyone (ok men...) who need to get out of the house for exercise https://theproperblokesclub.co.uk/

Thankyou all. May I ask what 'fat adapted' means?

My last HBA1C was down to 57 from 80. I stopped using Freestyle Libre monitors, partially due to the cost and partially due to going on holiday to stay in a hotel. I have tried to keep to a low carb diet. However yesterday I got a new Freesytle monitor and at the moment I am on 12.8, having not...
