Hi all, I've been using Libra 2 and the LibraLink App on iPhones for a while now, however I've always had this issue where if the App is closed, it loses signal. If I leave the App open in the background, its absolutely fine. I guess I just wanted to check what others experiences are and to...

I came across this article - https://onedrop.today/blogs/blog/coronavirus-and-diabetes-know-your-risk-type-1-diabetes-type-2-diabetes. As mentioned in the article, this is based on early data that is doing the rounds.

I think this Doctor is a bit irresponsible posting something like this - I'm sure having a Flu jab saves many more lives... He risks people not having it based on his advice. Also - I would be a bit cautious taking too much notice of this type of information, unless its released by the WHO. He...

How many use Twitter to get info, news and support for Diabetes? There seems to be a fairly large diabetes online community on Twitter. However, I don't think you can beat a site/forum like this though. Ross

Hey, Is anyone going to the Essex Diabetes Peer Support Group @ Basildon Hospital on the 9th Dec? Hoping to go, will be my first time. Cheers Ross

Hi all, My diabetes is generally well under control with my usual routine of 4 injections a day (3 before meals and 1 before bed). My diet doesn't change too much on a day to day basis - same brekkie and similar lunch & dinners etc. Boring hey? :) Is it still worth me thinking about changing...
