I work with a lovely chap called Colin who has a great deal of experience with diabetes, with a T1D daughter and several T1D friends who are using the pump. I've told him about the Libre (having only applied my second sensor last night) and he agrees that its a fantastic way to help diabetics...

I love my Libre, the convenience of constant monitoring, far less finger pricking and all that goes with it. But it could be much better and some of the things drive me nuts - as with any relationship. After having a few come off - skin tac wipe fixed it. Low readings - seems to be solved by...

Has anyone seen the MyDiaby Watch? Based on information I gathered from their website they use a combination of 2 non-invasive technologies (High-Frequency Radio Waves Technology and Fluorescence Technology) to measure BSL on the wrist. I found a scientific paper which confirms that these...

So after many years of resisting it I have finally gone onto the pump. They fitted me out last Monday with a saline run through so I could get used to pump care first and see if I was ok wearing it. The aim is to go live with insulin this Monday coming (so wish me luck! ), but there is one...

So today I have ordered myself a G5 transmitter and x4 sensors:) Just to make everyone aware, there are currently two promotional offers available to new customers: 1) Transmitter and x1 sensor at £160. That works out at a saving of £91.25. 2) Transmitter and x4 sensors at £275. That works...

Today is my first day using the FreeStyle Libre so I was hoping to share my first thoughts and get some views from other users. So far I have noted the following: Pros The sensor was really easy to apply and didn't hurt at all. I fully expected to be able to 'feel it' on my arm but this is...

Hello everyone, My son started using his libre sensor just two days ago. He started taking antibiotics a day before that. The leaflet that comes along with the antibiotics said that the antibiotics might cause false, increased, urine and blood glucose readings. The libre constantly suggests...

Just felt compelled to share... Been using the Freestyle libre now for about 3 months and find it a great piece of kit especially been able to scan the sensor to see trends and impending Hypos etc. My only issue is that the readings can differ from the actual BS readings between .5 and 2 mmols...

Hello all! Since a few months, my freestyle libre sensors are always very inaccurate. I don't know what happened, but it's like if the quality of their products have been lowered?? Anyways, I would like to try alternative sites; I know that some of you put it on the thigh, but where exactly? I...

Morning all, Had injection last night for the first time, asked the dr and he said no raise in BG. I call BS. temp basal on corrections in place. anyone else experienced this?

Hi all! I'm looking for a used, expired or new minilink transmitter to buy it. edit by mod to remove contact details.

Ive been selected by INPUT to be recorded discussing my CGM and pump on film next week!! :wacky: Is anyone else coming?

Hey guys, Looking for a bit of advice on building an xDrip:) Before I start spending money and building one - can some of you kind people please advise on the following: -Is this a decent priced "kit" to buy...

Hey there forum, This is just some Monday wondering - When our body gets sick or we have some type of infection to fight we typically see some enlargement of the lymph nodes - in the neck, armpit/chest area, and the groin - depending on where the issue is. I am wondering if, because we...

Hi all, This is my very first post here. I need some help please! I am T1 and I am struggling with hypos. Very minor exercising, like riding my bicycle to work etc, would rapidly give me a hypo both at that time and also half way through the night while I am a sleep! I also inject myself at...

Hi Guys, So after trying to work out whether my husband and I can afford to fund a CGM for him, a desperate search to see if there is anywhere we could get help with funding it, any charities to apply for or anything at all I have got really utterly P**S*D off with the lack of support!!! Short...

Just curious after looking at my history on my Libre. After a period of bad control for a couple of weeks due to (not quite resolved yet) basal issues, I discovered that I spent 85% of the time in target (4.5-8.5), 13% above target, and 2% below target. What's a realistic goal for the amount of...

I'm wondering about getting one of these for my T2 wife (on metformin) to use for a short while in the hope of identifying foods which spike her glucose. She doesn't use strips (she tried briefly when first diagnosed but we didn't make much sense of the readings). I am thinking that a continuous...

I have type 1 DM for about 10 years and I cycle a fair bit. I manage things fairly ok but obviously have a lot of variances with my dosing depending on exercise amounts. I manage with a multidose novarapid dosing with Levemir as my long acting insulin. I dont often get hypo when exercising...
