Hi everyone, I just wanted to know how you get on with using you smart watches with the miao miao and the Libre. I have an apple watch at the minute but I am not impressed with how it works with keeping track of my blood glucose. What kind of watches do you have? I have seen that the Fitbit...

Hello, I am supposed to be starting my BSc in Adult Nursing this year, with COVID-19 going on I’ve now began wondering if during my occupational health screening they will class me as unfit to take the degree due to me needing to be on placement. I already work as Health Care Assistant at my...

My current Accu Chek Spirit Combo is out of warranty and I’m looking to change. Any useful advice or experience with the T:slim pumps? Especially without the use of a CGM. I use a libre and am currently trying to get finding for a dexcom. But worse case I’d be using the T:slim solo. How is it...

Hi everyone, My name's Ellie and I'm completely new to having an account on this website although I've been reading the forums for a while now I'm pretty nervous about posting as I get afraid I'll sound silly. I am currently 24+6 pregnant. At the end of January, I received a phone call from...

Hi all, Currently had my libre sensor in for a 4 days and notice it’s been aching/like a bruising pain around the area and up my arm no bruising is viable but it’s very uncomfortable. Is this normal!? I’ve been using Libre probably since it was released so it’s the First sensor I’ve really had...

Hey everyone! I got my libre sensor a month ago, and since then I have had a lot of trouble with the sensor staying put. The issue isn't with the actual adhesive itself, that stays on fine. However, the actual sensor starts pulling away from the adhesive! I am a side sleeper and tend to lay on...

Hello! Has anyone tried swimming for longer than 30minutes with the Libre and found it still works after? I’m wondering if the guidance is about the sticky surround not lasting, or the sensor itself. My son broke my heart when I said he just wants me to be able to stay in the pool with him for...

In Zoe Harcombe's blog this week, she commented on her and her husband's use of a Libre cgm that they each had on trial for 2 weeks. She had several interesting insights on her discoveries and concluded that every UK citizen should have a loan of a Libre for 4 weeks to discover their...

Saw my DSN today and was told that the Freestyle Libre is now available on the NHS for everybody. Not sure if this is London only or a nationwide thing. I'm unsure about the libre as it doesn't send results directly to your phone or give alerts. I'm aware of the Miao Miao add on which will do...

I am very fortunate to have been prescribed a libre which I've been getting on with quite well for the last few days. I've signed up to libre view, I started out using the reader but now I'm just using my phone with the freestyle librelink app. Do I need to connect my phone to the libreview...

Hi guys, I just bought MiaoMiao device to connect it with Libre Freestyle Sensor (classic 14 days one) and there is one thing that really surprised me - basically I used to use Libre once or twice and I know that it is delayed (and maybe not even 100% accurate) in comparison to blood test, but I...
