Hi all! I’m moving for the first time whilst also moving to a different area and was wondering if anyone could advise what I do in regard to my diabetes care. What is the process like to register with a new GP and have prescriptions sorted? I’m worried about losing access to sensors and...

Hi all, Not too many months ago I had to source a new blood sugar testing machine from the GP as they stopped producing the test strips for it. I got given the GlucoRX Nexsus instead to find out that those strips have now stopped being produced too! The pharmacy tried to give me GlucoRX Q...

Hi all, Just looking for advice. I’ve been type 1 for almost 2 years now and when first diagnosed I was on it! Over the last year I’ve really lost control over my blood sugars and have been fighting to get them back. I’m finding that I’m constantly reacting to something, a high or a low. I’ve...

Hi all, I’m due to fly in a weeks time and now super stressed about security and all the scanners etc! Now I know that the libre I am wearing can only go through the metal detector and not the full body scanner. What I’m worried about is my spare sensors in my medical bag. When I get to the...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a way that with the new update and automatic readings, that we can get our readings on the homescreen or to an apple watch? I've used DripIOS previously but would quite like to maximise the Libre app for what the new update can do and don't want to block the...

Hi everyone, Is there any group chats or something similar for young adults with diabetes? I’m 22 and haven’t been diabetic long but struggling to find support from people my age with the understanding of what diabetes is like!

Hello everyone! I’ve been type 1 for just over a year but haven’t really got the whole blood sugar and exercise concept down yet! I’m going to start the couch to 5k as the weather is getting much nicer but look for some advise on insulin doses, snacks and blood sugar levels before I start. I’m...

Hi Everyone, I've been Type 1 for just over a year now and am traveling abroad for the first time since diagnosis. I've got a package holiday with TUI and wondering what I need to do in advance. I'm aware I need to get a letter from my GP regarding carrying needles etc as I am on MDI. Do I...

Hi everyone, I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my libre 2 sensors recently. My last one has failed after a few days, the one before that lasted the full 14 but the 3 before that also failed suddenly. This means I’ve been relying heavily on my blood glucose machine but I’d really like a...

Hi all, Hope everyone is well :) I've been experiencing slight, but not complete loss of sensation in my finger tips over the past week or so and I know this could be a serious diabetes related issue. I was wondering what I should do about it or whether to contact anyone? Like I mentioned...

Hi Everyone! I’ve been really struggling the past couple of days with big spikes post breakfast. Went up to 14+ today from 2 crumpets and 4 units of insulin. I’m generally on a ratio of 1:16 so this is pretty much double my usual amount. My libre had me at 4.4 when waking up which has been...

Hi all, is anyone else having issue after issue with libre 2 the past few weeks? I’m on my third sensor in two weeks and I think it’s failing now too! It’s reading high above 12 when I’m under 10 on finger prick. the previous two had similar issues too. One sent me an error message through the...

Hi all, Been struggling with my type 1 a lot over the past week. I’m newly diagnosed and probably still honeymooning. I can’t seem to eat a meal of any size without shooting up high (above 10) within the hour and then I shoot back down just as quickly until I end up in the 3’s. It’s exhausting...

Hi all, I was recently diagnosed type 1 in December and fortunate enough to have started the libre 2 process. I’m on MDI with lantus and novorapid, injecting for every main meal. However the libre has highlighted that my BG’s are up and down like crazy! I’ve worked hard to prevent lows and keep...
