Diabetes Consultant

[Martin62]

Just had my 6 month follow up with my Diabetes consultant and his team at the hospital, they were very pleased with how I'm managing my diabetes and confirmed the libre 2 is now on permanent prescription.
I introduced them to Diabox and had to explain how it worked to them , they were very interested and were going to introduce other libre users to it . They gave me a couple of tweaks to my insulin ratios , and passed me back to my gp and diabetes nurse for my care, but said the door is always open if I feel that I need to speak to them about any issues that might arise. I feel very lucky to have this much support as I know many others do not get the support they need.
Kind regards
Martin

This is weird, cos when I first had Libre 1, my hospital clinic always downloaded it to Diabox (as I also did at home) then Libre went over to Libreview entirely, so I had to install that at home to do the same, which is still the case.

Same here. Diabetes clinic moved to libre view. GP doesn't use either.

Sounds good @Martin62

Don’t let things drift too long if you would like some specialist inlut again though.

I switched back to my GP and it was almost a decade before I finally went back to the hospital - and looking back I really should have got more specialist input earlier!
