Hi all, I don’t really post much on here but I’m just having one of those weeks where I feel like my diabetes is beating me and it’s been tough. I was diagnosed type 1 over three years ago. But after a couple of months of using novorapid & lantus I began having regular hypo’s. I had been...

Hi, I am considering going with the Freestyle Libre & the 14 day sensor, in order to make it more of a CGM than a flash scan device I am considering going with the MiaoMiao as an addition. I would just like to know if the MiaoMiao works with the 14 day sensor or not. Has anyone tried it? Thanks.

So I have been diagnosed with LADA. I am 41, male, 6'2" and I had recently lost quite a bit of weight right before I was diagnosed. My HbA1c level was 11.7% when I was diagnosed in Oct 2018. I have an upcoming blood work in February and I will be asking to check my c-peptide levels as well...

Hi I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 5 years ago and diagnosed with type 1/LADA about 3 years ago after my pancreas failed. I have since been trying to get an insulin pump on the NHS after an ex pump nurse said that it’s the right way to go. I have been using the freestyle libre for...

Hi everyone, I've been feeling quite run-down (tired and achy, can't focus, constantly thirsty, headache, having to get up at night 5-10 times to urinate) for a good year or so now, although my symptoms have worsened in the last couple of months to the point that I'm really worried about how...

At the grand old age of 50 I have just been diagnosed with type 1 (LADA). This came as something of a surprise as I didn't really think I was really likely to get type 2 diabetes, and I ignorantly assumed type 1 was only diagnosed in childhood. I have other auto-immune issues going on and it...

Hi all I'm confused as to whether or not I'm diabetic. I had an OGTT a few years back due to low blood sugar concerns. My fasting sugar was 4 something, then it dropped to 2.6 after 30mins after the drink, then came back up. Last year I had this test repeated. Fasting/starting sugar was 4...
