Hello everyone! I would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out this questionnaire on driving with type one diabetes. The aim of these responses is to gauge how diabetics find driving; how technology is used to check blood sugars whilst driving; how hypos...

Good day all I have been using a Libre 2 for about 6 weeks, things are going well, one mid morning I tested and it was 3.2, and i wasn't feeling hypo effects, I tried pricking my finger and my bloods were about 15, I took a couple of dextrose and went for a walk with the dogs, came back and...

Does anyone here use Libre 3? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I currently self-fund Dexcom G7 because Libre 2 and Dexcom ONE don’t meet my requirements as a T1. My consultant has just offered me Libre 3 on prescription. On paper, it appears to function in exactly the same way as Dexcom G7...

I want to make a picture using these old Libre sensors and dexcom sensors, but I have no idea what. As you can see by the photo, I’ve been keeping these for a while, I have wanted to do this for ages, but have no idea what. It has to be diabetes related obviously. Anyone got any ideas, any...

Hi all.. My question is about libre... And if I can get it from my GP.. Who are utterly useless haha Due to my GPs failings I was hospitalised with DKA for 3 weeks and nearly died. I'm T2..what are my chances as 2-4 tests a day pin pricks are getting me down

Hi All, My mother-in-law has insulin dependent diabetes following surgical resection of an insulinoma. She had trialled a Libre coming out of hospital however has been declined continued prescription. While we look into how we can challenge this we would like to self fund her Libre sensors...

Hi there, Was wondering if anyone can help- I recently called my diabetes team to ask about the freestyle libre 2 ( I am on Libre 1) due to me measuring over 24 times a day due to my job, hypo symptoms starting readings lower than 6 and so on. The nurse asked why and who even approved my...

Hi. I am a Type 1 diabetic and have been for around 22 years. I have recently gone onto the Libre 2 system, but wasn't a fan of the alarm signals, so I made my own and I'm sharing them with you to use on your device/phone. I tried to attach to this message but the forum does not allow. THE...

I’m happy to say I’ve been lucky to have been referred for the Libre by the community diabetes nurse and the clinic have accepted it. However, I have the problem that things don’t stick well to my skin and have found the sticky bit around my first Libre sensor came off after less than a week...

This is another study looking at UK people before and after getting Libre, and again shows improvements in everything they measured (HbA1c, GOLD score of hypo awareness, etc.). https://abcd.care/announcement/flash-glucose-monitoring-use-associated-reduction-diabetes-distress

Hi everyone. Ive just started using the Freestyle Libre sensor and am a little worried about numbers. As I've not be able to go into my Diabetic Clinic due to COVID, Ive had to set it up myself using the online tutorials, and suck it and see. I've put my target setting at 4.5 to 8.9 mmols and...

Hello all, long time reader, first time poster etc. Son Aged 12 has T1 and has been on Libre for about a year, generally good, some duff sensors but then just as many that last the full 14 days. We use it with MiaoMiao for CGM and it has revolutionised his care, including less sleepless nights...

Hi - newbie here (2 weeks post diagnosis). I changed my libre yesterday for the first time and was told to prick my fingers for 24 hours after as they can be a bit inaccurate. it’s been over 24 hours after I applied it now, but I’m still seeing inaccuracies (5.8 on the sensor and 7.8 BG). Is...

Hi all, As indicated above, this is an extremely geeky query about how Libres calculate the Time in Target percentage. Apologies to anyone who falls asleep reading it. Question really is how does it handle the time period when calculating the percentage over the last 7 days. Yesterday...

The company behind a blood sugar monitor that has changed the lives of thousands of diabetics has been forced to apologise after supplies ran short. Pharmacies have been turning patients away as deliveries of healthcare firm Abbott's Freestyle Libre Sensor are delayed by two or three weeks...

I am sure I have read somewhere about Freestyle Libre shortages because of manufacturing issues, and I have been waiting nearly 2 weeks for my prescription to be filled, but I haven't seen anything on this forum site nor anything on the Diabetes uk site. Has anyone else had an issue getting theirs?

Hi Everyone, I mentioned to my consultant at my last appointment that with the current sensor allowance of 2 per calendar month, patients are left a month short of sensors each year. I explained, 52 weeks divided by 2 weeks equals 26 sensors. We are currently given 24 per year. I mentioned this...
