Woke to a nice 4.6 and now on a nice straight 6.1......please keep going straight
@SueJB love the Wojtek and the story behind him
Going for a quick mooch around the forum to see whats happening
YYYYAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN first coffee is going down well.
Things have been sort OK over the weekend but this morning woke up to a rather rude hyper like a 13mmolwhich is annoying because I'm not sure what caused it, actually it has happened a couple of times over the last week.
If it keeps doing this I might move my long acting injection back to last thing at night.
PAH! Monday again and no days off for a couple of weeks
@Robinredbreast Like the pictures, really MUST get my creative head back on and start taking pictures again.
In the name of all those who are hole-y (us mostly) I have had three trains cancelled so am still on a platform rather Than in my meeting!
My bf and I had homemade garlic bread the other day and our breath stank for two nights, I think we scared off the vampires as well.I not only like a mooch, I love a rummage!
Home now and munched my bowl of chopped salad. I used garlic olive oil and think I might frighten off the vampires over my entire town with my far too strong garlic breath
I could give you the biggest hug, thank you
I was going to say something similar, between April and May they had that time frame to book me an appointment because at my last hospital they'll book my appointment while I'm there and send me a letter. So I thought it was strange that my consultant said yeah I'll see you in 10 weeks time and I didn't hear anything back. I remember I had to wait over 6 months to be seen for a gum infection, until I got the appointment, my tooth was too late to be saved and had to be removed. (I was 11 at that time)@MeiChanski some time I wonder how the NHS operates when they "forget" to book appointments or spend a week typing up a letter or "forget" to print and send letters.
Sorry, the latter two are my frustrations over the Libre.
I was told it was approved on 9th May. This afternoon, I finally picked up my Libre from the pharmacy and will go live tomorrow ... nearly 4 weeks later.
I know I know. Life could be much much worse. I am lucky I got the Libre on prescription. I am lucky I don't have to pay for that prescription (apart from the taxes which I pay anyway). I am lucky I am not at the mercy of insurances companies for my insulin and pump and test strips and ...
Made it to the meeting late, bloods up at 10. Goodness knows where they would have gone if I’d ended up at the wrong station @Jaylee
I'm the same, I only order what I need, if I have basal insulin left from the last prescription I won't reorder it again. I only had one pharmacist who understood that insulin is very important and he is a diabetic himself. Each time I go in he'll have novorapid ready. I'm glad they haven't changed your test strips, i'd be worried because technology always has room for failure. I can't believe Abbott are still having issues with sensor stock, Pharmacies are having issues with going weeks without any sensor stock and they only prioritise prescriptions (which makes sense) and leaving those who self fund to struggle.I get two Libre sensor per prescription (if they don't fail, this is enough for 4 weeks).
I get 200 test strips per prescription. Typically, these last about a month.,
The number of test strips on my prescription has not changed since the Libre was added.
To be honest, I doubt if surgery pharmacist has much idea about BG testing ... she certainly needed educating about how much insulin I needed for my pump and that I need pen cartridges as back up.
I do not order everything on my prescription every time. If I am getting low on insulin, I just order insulin. If I am getting low on test strips, I just order test strips. No one has ever questioned how many times I put in a request for test strips or paid any attention to how many test strips I use per month.
My expectation is the same for the Libre but as I have only done one Libre prescription that is just an assumption.
I would not be surprised if I have an issue on start up.
With only 2 sensors per prescription, once one is attached, I only have one spare. If the second one fails, I have no spare so I will be ordering my next two in about 1 week's time and hope to keep at least 2 spares in at all time. This also allows for Abbott to have a problem with supplies and take 2 weeks to fulfil the prescription.
However, if anyone is keeping an eye on my Libre requests, they may be suspicious of me over ordering.
On the other hand, they may just sign the request without reading it. Unless the computer is set up to flag something, I don't think anyone pays any attention.
