Hi all, I have been a type 1 since age 10 and am now 51. For all that time I have injected. Over the last couple of years I have used the libre freestyle which I have found to be amazing. It has shown that I am prone to the occasional low levels, something that I discussed with my diabetic nurse...

My wife and I were lucky to have the Pfizer jab just over a week ago. We were contacted by our local council as we are foster careers ( I was very surprised as didn’t consider it to be a front line job tbh!). I’m 51 and been type 1 since I was 10 years old, have pretty good control so have been...

I have been having the same kind of problems as you all report. I have put it down to the last apple update. My phone updated before I updated the libre app. Once updated it could not seem to scan the sensor on first try like before. I just press cancel and then it finds it straight away second...

Thanks for the concern Mollie x All fine here and no cough or anything. Currently working from home as my LA and headteacher don’t want to put me in harms way. I will just be so glad in the future when a rest will be available to see if we have had a mild touch of this or not. I think that will...

All ok. Haven’t really presented any symptoms to know if I have had a mild case or not! My son had a high temp and cough about 2 weeks ago and about a week later I felt a bit off but tbh have no idea if it was anything. Currently self isolating with my family, having home food deliveries (when...

My blood readings are normal today. I did have an unusual spike where I was at 15 through Sunday into the evening for no apparent reason. Even adjusted my insulin but was still high! Me deciding to isolate this morning may be a bit of a moot point at the moment, I have just heard that a few...

I was actually reading that Leicester Mercury story yesterday. After the initial worry when I got up this morning my cough seems to have eased. Still no temp but chest still feels tightish. Not going to ring around quite yet as I don’t feel it warrants it at the moment. As you said jaylee, I...

Hi all! I am a 50 year old type 1 who has been diabetic since 11 years of age. I work as a primary school teacher. Decided that I should self isolate today as beginning to feel a bit ‘off’. Came home from work last night after running to catch a train and my chest felt tight and I had gained a...

I am also trying hard to not worry too much over this. I’m 50 and have been type 1 since age 10. Never had any other health probs and am reasonably fit. I worry as I work as a primary school teacher, we all have coughs and colds there at the moment but that’s just the way life is when working...

Hi, I'm very interested in getting a cellnovo pump, and have never had a pump before. I have been a diabetic for 33 years and next week am meeting with the diabetic team at the royal Glamorgan to discuss pump options. Your videos have been a big help in showing me why the unit is actually like...

Hi, I have just joined these forums and am having much the same problem that you are. I have been a diabetic for 33 years with not much problem and only 1 or 2 almost hypos. Suddenly in December I had a string of very bad hypos and even had to have the paramedics out. I am on novo rapid and...
