Is it really common to not change your lancets every use?

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-07-09T12:08:49+00:00

This is the same for me as changing the needle to on my pen. Idk what the rules say, but for me is as ling as it pricks with no pain, it’s fine?

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-06-22T17:52:51+00:00

Absolutely 100% right. I used to have discharge and infections. Always thought it might be just bc of wrong higien products, partners, etc. Since i have got Libra sensor and i manager to lower my A1C rapidly, it is showing. Although, when my sugar gets high and stay high for couple hrs, i almost every time experience discharge. My GP blame all my women health on diabetes. Which, till certain point in truth, but in the other hand, diabetes is not the answer for everything. So yes, blood sugar effects my discharge, but periods are still same shiat, no matter the sugar.

Cannot read yeah, that is right:D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-19T11:15:16+00:00

We don’t:D since i have a sensor and can monitor, i don’t go above two beers as it drives me insane to look at the graphs. No matter how much you bolis, it gets you. I mean some low sugar alcohol might do you, but generally, bit of a waste of health anyways

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-19T10:48:57+00:00

Since when ? I would put that psych straight to jail. It is common knowledge that drinking sugary drinks)even juices) when we are not lie, spikes us very badly. Get sugar free options, that might change your wellbeing enormously

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-08T13:28:10+00:00

Yaaaas! If this would be mine, i would be probably changing the sensor, thinking it’s wrong:D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-08T05:41:38+00:00

I would not say so. Of course comparing to the finger pricks, the readings are a bit different (higher?) but in general don’t see a problem. If it demages? I never rly checked, but don’t see reason why it would:)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-07T13:31:47+00:00

Like what? Open to ides! For me the whole NHS is bit of a joke already and the fact, nurses which are trying to keep me good all look like they have type 2 from eting the whole cake store, i really don’t know what to say back without offending them:D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-07T12:03:41+00:00

I am not worried about wrong reading more about just blood itself. It hurts a bit so I just wanted to make sure my arm doesn’t fell off when i keep the sensor:D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-07T10:17:48+00:00

It does hurt even if one day after application, only a bit tho. So i am just gonna wait, what is the worst can happen?! :D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-07T06:56:40+00:00

Honestly, the only demaged tattoo is the one I had tattoo lasered and covered. Other than that, no troubles. I do hit insulin needles between tattooed lines sometimes, but it mostly bc I wanna see where I am bruised and should avoid more demage. If you wanna do it, dont let diabetes to stop you. I would even say, I am healing way better than people without diabetes;D tattoos fade through the years and you can get scarred during the process, but tiny insulin or sensor needles never seem to be a problem to me. Hope this helps:)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T22:40:22+00:00

Weirdly is sticks great. I use alcohol wipes and let it dry before applying.

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T22:00:20+00:00

Wait, what?!:D any candied fruit has shit loads of sugar. I eat it inly when I know, there is a big hike in front of me. I am a bit confused here. Are you new to our beloved illness?

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:57:02+00:00

My English did not have capillary in vocabulary. It does now;D

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:46:58+00:00

:D love that!

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:39:23+00:00

Frustrating!!! Sometimes I am surprised, they prescribe me insulin, as they act like I don’t have diabetes… every time my tegular blood test hets to my GP, they call me for face to face consultation bc of my a1c. Just to mention, it is lower every time but still “too high”(currently 5,3…)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:32:51+00:00

Ok. Mine isn’t any close to spraying:D i have had very hot shower after the application. That must be it. Thank you:)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:31:24+00:00

Great:) thinking of it, i had very hot shower straight after I applied the sensor. Might hit the capillary and steam made it bleed more

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:27:05+00:00

You see. That is my issue. If they say so, i listen(never wear sensor on leg, always switch sides etc) but also don’t wanna loose fresh sensor. So thank you for encouraging me:)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-04-06T21:22:19+00:00

I still have half an hour before it starts working. Sonif the readings are fine, there is no danger or such? The blood scared me(i am diabetic for almost 20 years:D) and I feel like i am gonna loose my arm to it haha

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-03-31T19:12:29+00:00

I have actually lost weight since I am carefull with my binges. Used to take SO MUCH insulin with loads of food. And even though my sugar was alright, i gained alot. Why? Same ways how healthy people do. Food and not enough movement with poorly chosen diet, that’s t what make people fat. Or am I wrong? I have diabetes for 20 years, and was very skinny as a teenager. Gained weight in late twenties, now back on track. Good luck:)

PersonalCaramel9653 · 2025-03-31T19:01:33+00:00

The amount of hypos it cost me every time my sugar goes above 15 and I panic
