I think I’ll just have to settle for a conventional closed loop, when I get one . . . A few years on it would take me into my eighties by which time my daughters will have begun to divvy up the spoils. (Joke, they’re not like that!)

Very very impressed by your TIR!!!

It sounds way beyond my tech capabilities to install @CheeseSeeker, plus I’d need to move to android which would be a wrench after years of iOS. I wonder how it’d mesh with a Medtronic HCL when the area NHS lot finally get their act together to give me the training on it.

I want it!!!!

What’s FCL?

Hello @SalRead[emoji637], If you saved it in the Cloud then you should be able to retrieve it using a different laptop or smartphone. Maybe if you take your laptop to an IT shop and ask them if they can troubleshoot then the techs might be able to get hold of it for you, assuming you have all...

Pulses, all of them, oats, whole grains, broccoli, apples, pears, whole meal bread, brown rice, and anything that says on the label that it has 6g per 100g fibre. https://www.bda.uk.com/resource/fibre.html

I think I remember seeing adverts for that watch @jawak but we were skint in the 80s and had two small children to feed and clothe. I do remember a sense of elation when the first blood sugar strips came on prescription. At last it was possible to see whether glucotabs were needed rather than...

I really don’t know what can be causing these symptoms @DiabeticDi, but maybe a visit to a GP is called for.

I’ve found it’s a mixed bag of reporting a failure, just depends on who you get on the Abbott end of the phone. The last time I had a faulty sensor the issue was sorted in five minutes, the Abbott person swiftly recorded the fault and then went straight to ‘We’ll send you a new one’.

Oh yes, I remember all that, and the threepenny bit in the photo. Fifty-six years ago I was just delighted to say goodbye to the DKA symptoms that led to diagnosis even if it meant boiling glass syringes to sterilise them and sharpening blunt needles on a nail file.

Have you tried changing the cartridge or doing a refill if you’re using a pump? Fiasp is notoriously flaky, it can decline early or react badly to extra heat. I’ve very recently had to change a cartridge when mine seemed to have stopped working. It fixed the problem.

If his mother doesn’t understand the diabetic team’s answer she should get back to them and ask them to explain in plain English. Often, the people who work in a certain field aren’t aware that their language and ways of saying things may not make sense to outsiders. As @CheeseSeaker says, it’s...

I hope his next days at school are better than that one. If my blood sugar’s dropping I know that I’ve used more energy and need to consume carbs. Does your grandson carry carbs with him all the time? I know that it’s dangerous to sleep before my blood sugars are above 5 and steady as I’m...

The updated Libre app loses contact with the sensor. I rang Libre, thinking it was the fault of the sensor, and the person I spoke with said it was the app and they’d provide me with a reader. I was astonished that Libre were using a LibreLink app that wasn’t fit for purpose. Unfortunately I’d...

Update. Left one step out, didn’t turn my phone off and on again. What a palaver!!!!!

Is it just me or are others having problems with librelink? Trying to scan a new sensor but scan button not working. Yes, I’ve turned Bluetooth and WiFi link on and off, mobile data on and off but no joy. Very frustrating!!!!!!!

Your memories of hypos are similar to mine @Grant_Vicat. One time I gave my poor husband an upper right cut to the jaw, and another time I bit him as he tried to administer glucagon. I also said some nasty things. Like the OP, he worried that I meant them, that in hypo veritas was a thing. Of...

Hypoglycaemia leads to the body releasing adrenaline, the fight or flight hormone that also stimulates the liver to release glucose. It’s an essential survival response. Unfortunately sometimes the ‘fight’ is more in evidence than the fight. Don’t take it personally...
