cgm

Hi! I am looking into going to Australia on a working holiday visa and am trying to find some answers about prescriptions for type 1 diabetes car. I am 26, was diagnosed with T1D last year and have been getting along alright but cannot find any information on whether CGM of flash GM's are...

Hi I have started using a Freestyle Libre 2 to track my bg but nothing is making them stick. I have fully prepared the area by cleaning it, making sure there's no skin abnormalities, using an alcohol wipe and drying it before applying. After applying I have put a sticker over them. I have had...

Hi everyone, recently my bag was stolen in a pub and my insulin and phone was in my bag. I tried to find my bag so I can check my sugar level if I was in safe range but people just asked me to leave the place. I was in panic that I have to walk or do something without knowing my sugar level...

Hello, I have recently got a Freestyle libre 3 device. I would like to get a compatible smartwatch so I can monitor my blood sugar while playing sport. However, I have no experience with smartwatches so I am finding it difficult to breakdown the information online. 1) Is it as simple as getting...

I'm new to CGMs and have used the traditional testing method with my meter for 20 years. I'm wondering if y'all experience vast misreadings between your meter and the libre 3 (like 100mg/dl off?). I kept getting low alerts and have not been low. I'm curious if you have any troubleshooting ideas...

Hi all Ive been lurking a few years. Here in Perth Aus, some 40 years behind, only type 1 2 and gestational is recognised. I KNOW I am not type 2 as diagnosed and do not respond to a whole range of diabetes drugs. All the symptoms including mouth ulcers and systemic canidasis are there even when...

I've posted this in the pump section but it seems pretty quiet there so hope it's okay to post here too? I am in the very lucky position to be a pump user for 13 years, currently using Omnipod and Freestyle Libre 2 and it's changed my life. I can't imagine having to go back to MDIs now! My...

I am in the very lucky position to be a pump user for 13 years, currently using Omnipod and Freestyle Libre 2 and it's changed my life. I can't imagine having to go back to MDIs now! My diabetes team have let me know that there will likely be the option of me upgrading to a closed loop system...

Hi, my son has been given a Dexcom G6 CGM. We managed to get through 5 days before the tape had come away too much and he caught it on something and it came out. I've looked at stickers on Amazon which have a cut out but the user reviews are terrible. I've ordered a pack which has a plastic...

Hi to everyone. Just started with humulus insulin pen 6g once a day. My glucose levels have been running high for a while so it was an inescapable decision really. I'm 70 a thin type 2 for around 15 years. Diet and exercise generally sensible and low carb and I don't have a sweet tooth. However...

I'm a 62 yo male, displaying a classic phenotype of Asian mid-region obesity, with low metabolic activity and sedentary life style. I have been struggling with a dietary approach to reduction of blood sugar for around fifteen months now. Now for some data. During this period, I observed...

So, yesterday I had my trial libre 2 meeting with my hospital nurse. I self funded 4 sensors a couple of years ago, but could not get them to work with my phone. After leaving the hospital, it started to come away from the skin, wouldn't scan and eventually failed. The hospital gave me another...

Is anyone currently using Medtrum nano CGM please? I’ve just started using them along with my nano pump but the CGM has been really inaccurate for me. First couple of times I’ve had to calibrate it as was off from the start but then the calibration never seems to work out well. Maybe I would...

hello. i was actually wondering if it is possible to get any cgm in south africa. thank you and, can test strips be prescribed to be given out for free?

Has anyone seen the Libre 3 available on the NHS, was told by my specialists that it'll be approved sometime in April and haven't seen any information online about the Libre 3 CGM after the NICE guidelines were approved. Any information?

I had no idea about this earlier but, today, I put my phone up to my sensor without the app open out of curiosity and it still scanned the sensor, and it took me 4 months since diagnosis to realise this. Not sure if everyone else did this, but hey! It works! (well, on my Samsung phone anyway so...

Hello, I’ve been experiencing symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, tiredness, poor sleep, sweats, lethargy recently. I’ve not been diagnosed but I felt my blood sugar was all over the place. So I bought a continuous glucose monitor (cgm). It’s shown my blood sugar goes down to 2.9 mmol and...

Hi I've recently got myself a CGM to monitor my blood sugar and I'm very confused it seems my line is almost flat but the wrong level? Overnight it's been sitting in the high 8s/early 9s then this morning its gone up to 10.4 and is sitting stable there. I'm currently on metformin and glicazide...

Hi, my insulin pump is due for an upgrade and I have to decide by next week (I've put off the decision for months!). I have used Medtronic for the last 8 years but have been told if I want to use a "closed loop" system I will have to change to either the Dana RS, Tslim Tandem or Ominpod pump. My...

Hi all, and a very merry Christmas, my first post here! I’m trying to choose a pump for hybrid closed loop, and have decided that the Medtronic 780g would be best for me. The only sticking point at the moment is that the Guardian 3 CGM gets many bad reviews. I’ve been told by the time I start...
