Hi all. Lewis Jones, 27, diagnosed 2002. 6 month Libre funding trail is coming to an end and I need to download my data to send over to the diabetes nurse. Has anyone had issues with this? The Freestyle Libre app doesn't seem to have any option to export data. LibreLink has almost no options at...

Nearly 30,000 people across the country with Type 1 diabetes have received life-changing diabetes monitors through the NHS Long Term Plan. The innovative device, which is the size of a £2 coin and worn on the arm, means people with Type 1 do not have to carry out multiple painful finger-prick...

This morning med tech giant Abbott announced a new deal with chronic care management company Omada Health that will integrate Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with Omada's health coaching platform. Going forward, eligible users with Type 2 diabetes will have the option...

As the title says, basically. Got my Libre 3 weeks ago and to be honest I found it overwhelming. The first morning I woke and scanned only to discover that I'd been low the whole time I'd been asleep, which then led to some drastic adjustment of basal doses and a recalculation of my bolus ratio...

Hello Everyone, new to the Forum. I hope this is allowed. On 15th September myself and my family are doing the Edinburgh Kiltwalk, nearly 4 weeks time ouch all us are doing this in aid of Diabetes UK. I myself am doing the larger 24 mile walk whilst my Fiance and the kids are doing the 5 mile...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have been part of the Diabetes UK family for many years. I'm a type 1 diabetic with several other endocrine diseases which also impact on my control. But enough about me I'm posting about the 'Red letter days' letter in the latest Balance. Penny from Peckham I also...

Hello folks, At my last review I asked about the availability of the Libre, there was some oh’s and erm’s because I!m LADA, but they finally gave in because I argued I’m still insulin dependant. So come next Monday (13th), I’m going along to Hairmyres in East Kilbride to get my new Libre kit...

I had been told that the Libre Sensor readers and sensor pads were available now on prescription. My GP gave me a prescription for 1 kit but since discovered she shouldn’t have and only certain Type 1 diabetics can get one. . I offered to buy reader myself and change prescription from test...

Hi guys, I’m such a forum noob, and yet this is my second post within 48 hours! Basically, I got a Libre sensor fitted two days ago and all seemed to be fine. Until yesterday morning I got a bath and it started giving ‘HI’ readings where the graph showed my BG was 30+. In a panic I got out my...

Hi everyone, my partner does a lot of wild swimming....yes even in winter!!! We have sorted out the extra waterproofing as a ‘just in case’ using the tegaderm but we were just after some hints for getting the wetsuit on and off without dislodging the Freestyle Libre sensor which has just been...

Bronnie Minty has set up an online petition to publicly fund the Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System. "This technology is amazing and has helped my daughter's blood glucose levels become easier to read, monitor and stabilise," she said. Currently, the monitoring system can only be bought...

Hi, My husband has a Flash Libre glucose monitor and we are due to fly to Portugal in October. Just wondered if these devices go through airport x-ray security ok? Do we need a doctors letter? I've contacted the airline but they do not currently seem to know what I'm talking about as they...

From iPag Scotland :) https://www.ipag.co.uk/abbott-freestyle-libre-prescribing-around-scotland/

Noticed it on prominent display last night as she greeted Trump at Blenheim Palace and I got to a-wondering... Does she wait 24 hours before activating a new sensor, or does she wait the suggested Abbott hour? Has she ever had a duff sensor, and if so has she called Abbott for a replacement...

Hi everyone, I am wondering what people's experience has been with the C peptide test, and if anyone has had their diagnosis changed from Type 1 to Type 2? I have been Type 1 for 20 years now, I was diagnosed at 14 with the usual symptoms. My type has never been questioned. I took a while to...

My latest Freestyle Libre sensor delivery contained something called a pop socket. Apart from the suggestion to stick it on my phone, there were no instructions with it. It looked a bit like a sensor and I wondered whether it was a device to turn my iPhone into a reader. Imagine my...

Scotland - The Type 1 in Scotland Facebook Group is looking for a child case study for possible media coverage on the Libre, so if you have tried it and feel it would benefit to have funding of it and are happy to help please join the campaign group. Another option would be if you feel it could...

hi all last prom code ended on the 6th Dec. New code advised today BCC6FT27. Hope this helps

Hello to fellow libre users, I have a really big favour to ask and wonder if anyone would be willing to help me. I have been self-funding the libre for a long while now but to my horror have found there is a two week delay on sensors (presumably because of them being made available on...
