libre

Hi all I really need a Silicone case for my Libre, as I'm a super clumsy person, and I really would like to look after my new Libre reader. If anyone has a Libre Silicone case spare, would you please donate one to me? I would be forever in your debt. I can pay for the stamp via paypal if you...

Yesterday I was all set up with a new pump. I decided on the Medtronic 640g and so far, I have been most impressed. It does all what my previous pump did but seems easier and has a couple of added features - like the fact I can set up a bolus from my Contour Next glucose meter! I have also...

Hi guys! It's going to be my first time flying with the freestyle libre. I will be carrying 10 devices total because I'm going on holiday for 3 months and need spares also. My plan was to carry 8 in hand luggage and 2 in hold luggage. My question is will there be a problem carring that many...

I recently bought 2 Libre sensors but haven't yet tried one. I have been researching on here how best to make sure my sensor doesn't fall off. I have so far found suggested: SkinTac wipes (very expensive), Rocktape, Tegaderm, VetWrap, Opsite and Flexifix. And lots of shops sell cheap body glue...

Hi, Hoping someone can help. I asked my practice nurse (who manages my diabetes with the support of a specialist GP) about the Free Style Libre - you'r probably thinking 'oh no not this again. After some searching and investigation she discovered that Manchester had approved them but there was a...

I have been buying my libre sensors from my local Boots. I normally buy 2 at once to last me a month. The last time I went in there was only one box but Boots said they’d order more. Checked at the weekend they hadn’t come in but I was told they’d be here for today. When I went in on my way...

I have an iPhone 8+ that will scan my Libre, and know that we can’t scan using a smartwatch yet... Does anyone know if you can read the data from the LibreLink app on an Apple or other a Smartwatch via the connection between phone and watch? My Pebble watch just died, so I’m looking for a...

I just wanted to let people know this: I was searching for a compatible phone to use with the FreeStyle Libre sensor using the LibreLink app to scan it. You need a phone with NFC for this (stands for "Near Field Communication") and Android 5.0 or higher, or iPhone 7 I think, according to...

So I thought I would share my last set of libre results. I have never had a hba1c below 7. But with the help of the libre I am on track for drastic improvement. In 25 years of having diabetes and average hba1c results of 7-8% I can finally see where the problems were. Not only that but the...

So this morning I woke up at Blood sugar of 7. Using the libre i was similar. Stead blood through the night. I commuted into work on my bike, but the amazing thing was that without eating and the process of getting ready to get on the bike, my blood 15 min later went to 11! It was almost like...

Hi All, I thought i would quickly give my summary to what the libre allows me to do vs the negative comments it receives. I used to do around 8 to 10 blood glucose measurements a day. I count carbs and dose to around 1- 10 insulin carb. I also take Lantus at a night. I take part in alot of...

Evening all, I hope your all well and having a nice evening. Just a quick one, not sure how long it will last but I have managed to get 2 libre sensors from my local boots for £35 each. They are on order and will be here Thursday. I noticed on the libre Facebook group people had been...

Hi guys, Has anyone got a Ambrosia Nightrider working using an iPhone? Mine just doesn't match my physical blood or the Freestyle reader at all, it's always out up to 8 mmol/L which is an issue? I don't want to move to android or continue to carry the basic libre... Thanks in advance

New Year... new season. My details are in the sig below, and the last 6 months have been ... getting used to Low(er) GI foods which helped bring my A1C down from 111-59. The Australian Open - Three weeks in Australia. Accommodation/Breakfast: Service Apartment with fridge and basic facilities...

Hello all, This is my first post but a serious one. I need help!!! I have been asked to test my BG, 6 times a day (I know its not a lot) the biggest problem is that I suffer from hyper sensitivity and even with a 33gauge one touch delica, im in pain, while testing and after testing. So far I...

Started on the libre yesterday and I already love it! I've seen that some people have wildly inaccurate results but mine seem to come up within 1mmol so v. happy. Disappointed that the costs seem very much like a postcode lottery as ive seen now that some locations, the sensors are on...

hi has anyone had any problems getting the freestyle libre on the nhs in their area? ive started a petition on www.change.org/nhscornwall tobget it available in my area, as my diabetes team told me that diabetes care in cornwall has suffered a me of the least money spent on it, and we are trying...

Hi everyone, I've arrived in the UK (from New Zealand) and one of my Freestyle Libre sensors has been damaged. Does anyone "out there" know where, or how, I can buy another one? I asked a pharmacist in Boots and he wasn't sure they were sold in the UK yet. I hope they are available here. Can...

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

My work is sending me out of the country for a month on short notice. It's a long trip, and I need a sensor to see me through by the time I leave on Wednesday morning I've tried everything I can think of. I called Abbott and they don't have an expedited service, and I can't find any local...
