[QUOTE="Soplewis12, post: 2422177, member: 71170"] Hi Kate, I was lucky on the pens & had a pretty much smooth road. I'm 4 months in & only really getting to grips with it now. Have you tried extended bolus to stop food spikes? I extend all my teatime boluses now (largest carb meal) & it really helps. If having a lunchtime sandwich also extend bolus as now know my body doesnt like bread & spikes would be on average 16/17. Have had a few 26's when pod failed & I had switched off high reading warning on libre as was sick of it bleating at me in the early days. When putting new pod on angle it, don't put it straight across or straight down which might help a bit. On that note changed pod last night to thigh & it lasted 1 hour before it came off, put on other upper arm & it was loose again tonight. Don't give up, you'll get there. I was told initially after a month you wont look back, a month in I'd had 3 full blown tantrums, tears & snot cause I couldn't get to grips with it but feel much more confident now. One last thing to consider is the heat. I need to reduce basal by 30% when out in the sun. Best of luck. Mo [/QUOTE]
