Hi everyone Diagnosed with T1 in March so all very new still. I have my foot check up soon with my doctor but I am so worried. I’ve been getting a burning, numb feeling in both my ankles and feet for just over a week now. When I google it it obviously says it’s neuropathy and I just feel so...

Yeah it’s a tricky one. It has just told me I’m having another hypo but a finger prick is coming out at 5.9 so I’m not convinced it’s correct. I only changed the sensor last night as my previous one fell off and the second it started working it said I was in hypo. Just doesn’t make sense with my...

Hi all! I have just woken up and checked my libre app. It says I was in a consistent hypo from before midnight until around 5am with literally no rise. I was wondering if this is possible. I had absolutely no symptoms and when I finger pricked before bed at 10.30 pm I was at a 7.1. I had no...

Hi! I used to spike after eating when I was on my previous insulin but since changing to Lyumjev I no longer spike. But obviously just the one unit is causing me to go low so I am struggling to understand why it’s changed so quickly.

Hi all, I have recently switched to Lyumjev as my short acting for food. However even when injecting 1 unit for a meal I am having a hypo afterwards. So even for a meal with 100g carbs = 1 unit hypo. I have now stopped taking my short acting at all and just do my basal every evening. Is this...

Hi all I am constantly being woken through the night by my low glucose alarm, I have it set on my libre to alert me when my levels drop below 4.5. I try to eat a sugary snack and a slow releasing Carb but it will still go off. For reference I feel Absolutely no hypo symptoms at all at these...

Hiya thank you for your reply! Yes I do check it so for example 3 days ago my libre said I was at a 3.1 in hypo but when I finger pricked I was a 6.4 and felt completely normal. I have my suspicions it could be faulty as a few times the results from a finger prick are completely different

I have the libre 2 fitted on the back of my right arm, I sleep on my left. Every night pretty much without fail my libre low glucose alarm goes off around 5am when I’ve just bottle fed my daughter. I treat it and it goes up quickly to within normal range, then within another 10 minutes the alarm...

Hiya it’s a libre 2 sensor. My concern is the low glucose alarm at night, I’ve been low through the night a lot recently but haven’t had any noticeable symptoms I just get woken by the alarm. I am worried I may not notice symptoms and just sleep through it, making it worse.

Yes I have a glucose meter, but I’m just concerned as my low glucose sensor alarm tends to go off a few times in the night as my levels are all over the place still. And I don’t tend to notice the low sugar through the night.

Hi all I’ve just replaced my sensor and immediately got the ‘your sensor is not working. Replace sensor’ message. However I don’t have a spare one and it’s 9pm so my local diabetes clinic and doctors are closed. I’m unsure what to do, so looking for some generic advice. Do I wait until morning...

Hi! I was diagnosed just under 2 weeks ago as a T1 diabetic after a few weeks of symptoms. My sugar levels are still not completely under control but they are slowly coming down. However I feel SO unwell. Dizzy episodes, struggling to concentrate on anything, constantly exhausted and just...

Hi all, I was diagnosed 5 days ago with type 1 diabetes. I had it gestationally when pregnant with my daughter 7 months ago but have only had it confirmed as type 1 on Monday. I just feel so deflated and I’m honestly terrified. My sugar levels are ranging between 15-24mmol despite injecting...
