    This is very interesting, thank you. I do know he never puts his phone on DND. When he turns it on silent he simply turns the ringer off .

    Freestyle Libre reaction to sensor

    I don't know anything about the glue being reformulated but my son has just started using them. He's allergic to the sticky stuff on plasters and he hasn't had any reaction at all.

    Freestyle Libre 2 - changing sensor - need help

    I think its also worth saying, its very rare he feels hypo's. Prior to using the libre, he only felt around 10% of his hypo's and the others he only noticed when doing a fingerprick for a meal/snack.

    Correction dose

    Yes, sorry, wasn't asking for insulin dose, just if people thought a correction was necessary or not. He's been type 1 for a year and a half. He is 17. Does brilliantly with finger pricks and carb counting/injecting but doesn't think about water intake, prescriptions, appointments, etc. 17.7...

    Correction dose

    Had an argument with my teen son regarding correction doses. It was late evening and he was going to do his Levimir before bed. His BSG was 17.7 so I asked if he'd drank enough - he said yes but I'm doubtful - then I said he would need a correction dose of novarapid. His correction dose is...
