    Libre 2 & Finger Pricks

    Can anyone point me to guidance, other than from the DVLA, about when you should check Libre results with a finger prick test. GP seems to think it should rarely be necessary but my experience is that Libre can be very different if BG is rising or falling quickly so I prefer to test before...

    How many Hypos?

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but how many Hypos do you consider too many. I don't mean severe ones as obviously one is too many. I mean those in the range of say 3mmol/L to 3.9mmol/L. My last HbA1c was 40 and I expect this will seen as too low at my next review Thanks

    Pump Upgrade

    I am currently using the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo pump and am going to be upgraded to the Insight. Has anyone else done this and if so what can I expect in terms the differences - good or bad. Any comments generally regarding the Insight pump & its infusion sets etc would be helpful. Thanks.

    Bolus advice settings

    I am using the Accu-Chek Combo and have always used the Bolus Advice settings given to me when I was given the pump. These are: Acting Time 4 hours, Onset time 1 hour. Having looked at the profile for NovoRapid it seems these may not be correct. I'd be interested to know what settings do...
