glucose monitoring

Anyone have any ideas or know of smallish tubs to put my freestyle libre test strips in. I found it so much easier carrying around my meter ect. When the strips were in tubs rather than individual packages so am hoping to find a tub or container or something to put them in ( even if I leave them...

I'm fairly new to Libre. I've had mixed success with sensors, a couple were great, 2 stopped working and 1 fell off. I started one on Tuesday, but it stopped working tonight after I knocked my arm against a door frame. I have another sensor , but am worried that I might knock it again. I was...

Been offered a trial of the freestyle libre from the hospital yesterday, just curious if anyone had tried it? My hba1c is too high and was wondering if anyone had found if it helped with sugar control? Thanks

Hi everybody! I am fairly new to the forum and getting my head around how to navigate it (kind of). I'm sure this question is addressed in here somewhere but I can't find it! :( I am about to start Michael Mosely's 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet as my hb1ac numbers are still not great. I'm taking...

Hi all, I am being tested for PCOS as a scan, and then follow up scan, show cystic ovaries. My bloods came back with HbA1c level as 40 mmol/mol which is within normal range (although, for me, worryingly close to pre-diabetic). My doctor is being great and has referred me on to a gynea but as...

Hi I purchased a 2in1 Smart Glucose Monitor to go with my iPad and I want to confirm how accurate it is. The problem is that although the user guide mentions the 2in1 Smart control solution to go with it I can't seem to find anyone who sells it. Has anyone else got this meter? Has anyone else...

Hi, Just had my blood results after 3-4 months on the LCHF diet and I'm a bit confused. My HbA1c was 6.1 which translates to an average of 109 mg/dl (a bit higher actually than last time at 6.0). However my fasting glucose count was way higher at 131mg/dl. This was taken at 8.30am. The last...

Hi, Short background: I've been diagnosed this sprint after a routine check and prescribed Metformin 500g x2/day. After attending an informative diabetes meeting I've changed a few things in my diet like eating some 'slow release' carbs in the morning (100-150g) and reduce the portions +...

So decided to use my second Libre sensor after a not so fantastic experience with the first one. I have to say that this experience has been a lot better coming to the 14th and last day of the sensor. I was quick to give the Libre a bad rap after my first shot being a bit underwhelming and...

Hello all, Very interested in the below product as it will result in me having to carry less "stuff" around in my pockets: http://mydario.co.uk/smart-meter/ Can anyone on here advise if it's compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (non Edge model). The site says Android devices running OS 4.1.2...

I am 25 years old and for the past 3 or 4 years my sugars have run too high, with my a1c level at 9-10 each checkup. which is definitely my fault for not taking care of myself well. ..but I find it hard to remember and stay focused on checking my sugars multiple times a day. I want to get a...
