    Hi. Just gone into Libre 2 and have set the alarms (which work) but when I go to bed, how do I silence my phone except for the Libre alarms? I've tried changing all sorts on my phone but the only way the Libre alarms work is if I leave my ringer on at night and get loads of Facebook...

    Opinions- is this a Libre compression low?

    https://ibb.co/xCD5f8K I have otherwise pretty much perfect blood sugar, so a compression low is a little annoying. I did not wake up in the night. I do not want to decrease my basal as currently I'm only on 5 units of Tresiba 24h and that already seems very low. However if it's likely that's...

    Can I cover the Freestyle Libre?

    I have recently started using the Freestyle Libre system and when it works- it's great. However I am very active and have had a couple of sensors come off after a long run, I put a tubular bandage sleeve over the top but it seems the sweat still makes the edges of the sensor start to lift.

    Libre and Post-Meal Monitoring

    Hi, I've started using the Libre to log my meal carbs and bolus dose (as well as the scan value) - I do this all on my pump anyway but thought it would be good to see the visual too on the Libre data. I was wondering this: do I need to scan after the meal - say in two hours to capture the...
