  Definitely something for me to watch for, I always test for ketones when I suspect my daughter is ill, I’ve actually never seen her have a fever. 97.7 wow! I remember when covid was at its worst here, we had messages from the hospital telling us to test frequently and adjust doses accordingly.

  I’m not a bright man and this is an honest question, are you a diabetic? If so that’s really interesting as my daughter is type one, I find that quite fascinating that you don’t get a fever and something for me to look out for.

  Honest question, why aren’t you allowed to tell your coworkers what you earn?

  Before my daughter was given the libre sensor she would just finger prick at regular intervals to see where her numbers were, there were no warnings or notifications if she was outside her ranges. We’ve been lucky that when she has a hypo she knows about it due to feeling ‘shaky’ but if she was hyper she wouldn’t know unless she did a finger prick.

  The Diabetic team we have moved us away from Libre to a Dexcom G6 which has been great but as another poster has said does throw warnings out every now & again about Battery optimisation & Do not disturb settings.

  Just over a month ago my daughter was given a pump made by Insulet and with that you are given an Android phone, that is used purely for controlling the pump and getting readings about her current numbers, it’s very locked down. Since she’s been using the pump her numbers have been absolutely fantastic, she’s very rarely outside of her ranges, not only does her new device beep to alert her that something needs attention but so does the actual pump.

  This wouldn’t be the first time either. We’ve had more success with android and sensor readings than with apple. The Diabetic team at our local hospital have sent out 2 warnings that Libre could stop working with Apple when there has been a major update.

  We’ve since moved to a pump which uses a ‘phone’ and this is android and it’s been absolutely life changing for my daughter.
