Thanks for the reply. Yes, my main concern was how the Libre 3 Plus was going to affect the pump's distribution of my insulin. I wasn't too worried about ketones, because I was formerly on Tresiba and only stopped taking my doses on Monday evening, so I still have some background insulin on...

It does say 'Libre 3 Plus' on the boxes I was supplied, yes. My mistake. I wasn't aware Libre 3 had been discontinued and up until this point, all the medical staff and pump instructors I've interacted with keep referring to it as 'Libre 3'. Including the CamAPS FX app. That was miscommunication...

This is a bit of an awkward question, but thought I'd ask in case anyone familiar with the CamAPS FX app and the Libre 3 sensors can shed some light on this. First time insulin pump user here. Today, I officially started my Ypsopump training and have got my pump up and running. During the...

Hi there, Neckarski. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the CGMs at this point. But as others in this thread have pointed out, it's normal for there to be a bit of a variation between CGM readings and finger prick readings. The most common reasons for this usually boil down to the...

So, I saw the DSN today. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to address the matter of the itching with her during the appointment, as there was a lot I had to process in the span of the hour and fifteen minutes we talked. Spoiler: the diabetes consultant team I am frequently being made to see have not...

Hi. Popping in with another update on this as it's been a while and I've had a chance to address it with a DSN today during an appointment regarding an unrelated matter (switching to insulin pump therapy). Unfortunately, eating less carbs didn't seem to work and I wound up back in the same...

Hello @Pipp and @EllieM . Thanks for the replies. Sorry. I probably should have clarified—I’m not looking for a diagnosis here. I am aware of the site rules. Though, if anybody does have experiences with neuropathic itching and have experienced similar symptoms to me, I welcome you to share...

Nearly four months ago (around the beginning of December 2025), I developed a random and mild itching sensation on my scalp seemingly out of nowhere. It came and went randomly throughout the day and never seemed to be relieved when I would scratch it. Within a week, the itching spread to other...

Just popping in with another update. So, I've been following @Antje77's suggestion for about a week and a half now. My last two attempts went as follows: Day 1: Blood sugars were at 10.5 (this was caused by a combination of my lunch and other complications messing with my insulin resistance...

I did actually try adding carrots to the meal once when I was still having potatoes with it. It worsened the drop in my levels, believe it or not. o_O Though, I will add that I didn't tweak the amount of carb I was consuming, so it's hard to say what happened there. I do agree with you on...

See, this is the problem for me with this meal. Because it doesn't seem to matter what I've done throughout the day, or what time I eat at, or what day I eat on, or whether I inject before or after the meal, or what dose I take. The reaction to the meal is usually the same. The only difference...

Just wanted to update this thread regarding how the past week has gone so far since injecting after the meal, because... Well, it's certainly been interesting. Before I do, though, I wanted to clarify from my initial post that I no longer use roast potatoes with the meal. I've had to stop...

@EllieM @ViktoriaM 'Pizza effect'. I didn't know it had a name. I'm glad I'm not crazy and that it is a known problem. That article was quite informative, I must say. I had considered injecting after eating due to my suspicions it was a digestion delay issue. I am going to have the meal again...

So, this is a bit of a weird one that I've been dealing with for a while now. Not sure if anybody could help me with it, but figured it was worth a shot. For context, I am a Type 1 diabetic who uses Novorapid and Tresiba insulin. I also suffer with IBS-C (this is semi-relevant). Two days a...

I've been on Tresiba for over a year or two now. Was on Levemir before that. When I first switched to Tresiba, I was using between 8 - 10 units of Levemir every 24 hours, so I stuck to the same dose for Tresiba and injected it every 24 hours, per my consultant's instruction. First two days I saw...

It's been a while, so I figured I'd update this thread with a recent development I've had regarding my sensors. Over the past month, I've used sensor patches to see if having something holding my sensors in place would improve my readings' accuracy. I'm not sure if the person who originally...

27 degrees? Oof. Yeah. This is concerning. Where I live in the UK, we’ve been having temperatures go above this range occasionally in the late afternoon. I keep my sensors stored inside their boxes until I need to use them, which are kept inside a shoulder bag inside the wardrobe in my bedroom...

I've been having reading variation issues between my sensors and my meter for a while now, both when I was using the Libre 2 and the Libre 2+. Both readings stay within 1-2mmol of each other for the first week or so (the variation being more common with high readings rather than normal or low...

This sounds like the false readings could be being caused by a compression low. Sometimes when people sleep on the arm their sensor is on, the pressure applied to the sensor can cause false drops in readings. Also, because the sensors track the glucose levels through the interstitial fluid in...

Honestly, the thought of my sensors coming loose has crossed my mind when the reading variations have skewed over 2mmol. I do frequently get them caught or knocked on stuff and that has pulled the adhesive off the sensors in some places. But because the sensors have still felt secure when I've...
