a question:
If I update the reader for Freestyle 2 (although if the alarms go to the mobile, I do not have NFC), will it keep using me for the FreeSyle 1 sensors that give me in the social according to?

Yes, it is worth.

hello to all, I am new this forum although I have shared this issue for 20 years with you, in addition to being able to help you in some issues as a doctor.During the last 10 years I have not monitored endocrinology in the public health service when working in private and other countries and having the health benefit.However, when I returned I have found in Extremadura the great reluctance that exists on the specialists of the Endocrinology of the SES to deliver the free freestyle and a "turn to the past" in the guidelines and forms of treatment, when I had to resort toSaid consultation only for free freestyle, a system attached to the SNS interherritorial council.I try to acquire free freestyle buying it but the initial kit is exhausted both in Spain and in Portugal.My question is: Does the applicator only come in the initial kit or each sensor brings an applicator?

Hello, I write to you in case it helps you.On the one hand, tell you that the freestyle issue is not from Extremadura.I live in Madrid (although I am Extremadura) and they still do not finance it or have in the short term date for them to do so.
Regarding Extremadura endocrine, I don't know in private but the one who took me in the public was a great endocrine and put in the last on diabetes, no congress was lost and published a lot, in fact, my endocrine of thePaz in Madrid knows him and speaks great of him (I tell you in case you are privately interested in giving you your data in case you can take you).I can assure you that this doctor is not anchored in the past.A lot of years ago, when I came to Madrid, I got a mobile with Bluetooth from the SS to which my glycemiah reached and through a message they reached him.When I commented that in Madrid they were always very surprised.I guess it depends on the doctor that touches you.In Madrid I have also had horrible specialists.The worst was one that being great (hemoglobin of 6.5) insisted on seeing me every 15 days until one day I told him that he could not go because he had a work trip.The endocrine got a lot and told me that I was a diabetic could not work, that the most important thing was my health.

Greetings

@Arotorias to me the foundation you keep the appointment of April 21 .... for now.I have the analytics for the 17 ... we will see, I suppose that the appointments are moving according to government measures

Durante mi época universitaria me sentí bien tratado en el Complejo Hospitalario de Badajoz, aunque algunos endocrinos eran "para echarlos de comer a parte, incluso con hemoglobinas que llegué a conseguir por debajo de 5" pero, en general muy bien, con el Servicio,Always to the last with the advances in glucometers and administration systems of that time, they received something new and as it was in the same hospital he was always the first to try.Now because of my circumstances I belong to a health area with a regional hospital that leaves much to be desired.

@Vir I would be quite interested in the contact you know in Madrid.In Lisbon I know about an old hospital companion who speak very well, but I never turned to him for not needing it.

Although my battle with the SES is always the same, for the little I use it, if I need some treatment, it is for whatever, private self-greeted.I have started last week with Tresiba that I get in Portugal at a lower free price than in Spain.

@Ruthbia The Jiménez Díaz Foundation, for a week, has paralyzed external appointments and others.This morning they have called me to tell me that my appointment with my endocrine this Friday, April 4 will not be, and that they will already relocate the appointment for later.

Hello, in Madrid an endocrine takes me in La Paz that well with her but as she began to see me when I had more than 15 years of diabetes and I have no problems I have not needed anything either.In Badajoz, it is where I told you that it took me a very good endocrine, Francisco Morales took me in Infanta Cristina.Although I have your data, it doesn't seem good to give them without their consent.I think it's better to ask for him.Of course I learned a lot, it made it easy for me to understand the disease and be able to make a normal life.

What you say about the treatments I have no information with what you tell but, if they take you in the SS I do not understand why you have to go to Portugal for insulin.The head doctor prescribes you what you need.I don't understand this very well.

Greetings

@Vir Due to the distribution of health areas, I can only be referred to that of Badajoz because the service considers or after passing through all of the area to which I belong via claim.

I know Francisco Morales when I was professionally linked to Badajoz's health area, in fact I am considering registering in Badajoz so I can see me for the SES.

In Extremadura we need to prescribe threeiba and freestyle by endocrine of the SES to authorize the medical inspection and be able to prescribe the primary care doctor.Decision, buy Tresiba on my own;In a week I am delighted with the result.I resorted to SES by indicating a private internist to start treatment with Tresiba or Bomba, but nothing, it cost me to a anger because even with a report of an absolute confidence dermatologist it was not believed that I have reaction to the insulin aspart.

Greetings.

DRJESUSANGEL, I don't understand what is the problem to be prescribed by Tresiba, it is visa, the endocrine is made to you and point and can continue to recipe it, not?, or that the endocrine does not want to prescribe the threeiba because he thinks thatIs another better for you?
I had Lantus almost a year ago, but I had important inadvertent hypoglycemia at night, and as a health C work, because I on my own I changed to Toujeo that it is flatter, I called the endocrine (I have several corporate tfos of the unit)And I told him, he told me that he had done well and that if I saw that I was lifting high after several settings, I told me to make the visa for the threeiba.At the moment I do not go wrong even if you do not believe that I take the calm very much because sometimes I get up high (and it is not for hicc as I am seeing it) about 6 or 7 in the morning, and three hours afterThe dinner is perfect, in 90 or 80, I upload the dose and it does not seem to be related, sometimes it gives me a small drop to 59 or 60 (I have the scheduled alarm at 60) but I do not see a relationship either.I will see, what advantage do you see the Tresiba with respect to the Toujeo?.
By the way, I am from Cáceres, I was born there although I have been practically all my life in Andalusia.

@meginer in Endocrine consultation do not want to prescribe me threeiba put the paste that does not produce hypoglycemia.By the medical inspection visa I would not have job contact.But as for endocrine and MAP only corporatism and not companionship.

With Toujeo I had safe hypoglycemia at 7 am whatever the time to which I managed and if Apidra went down at two hours the postprandial was shot.

After a week with threeiba I am noticing greater stability at 24 hours of the administration, which I did not have with Toujeo;Although I will have to check it when I return to the normal work rhythm.What I am noticing when having less activity is that the disparity between capillary glycemia and the institute of the freestyle increases, although I also blame it to be in heparin treatment.I have not found in the bibliography any review but it is curious that I started joint treatment to the second of the three sensors that I carry and the reliability is lower.

Hello!I ask a little obvious question: when the free marks for example.87 Going down, I measure capillary.If you do well, I eat normal, for example, but as in the free delay in changing the trend, it continues to mark the descent and sometimes it marks a hypoglycemia ... which is not real, right?Or when I am going down quickly, should I play juice as if it were hypoglycemia?It has a year and 4 months ..

It is better to be cautious and treat that case as if it were hypoglycemia (do not pass with correction), although your own experience in successive days will explain what you should do.

Hello:
When managing hypoglycemia, you must look at the capillary measurement, since the free goes with a little delay and can continue to mark hiccups when in reality it is already recovering.An over -recorcion based only on what Free says can lead to hyperglycemia.So I would make a capillary measurement to confirm a decrease and, 15-20 minutes after having taken something, another to confirm that it recovers.
The same goes for hyperglycemia (overcorrection with extra doses of insulin = possible hypoglycemia).
I hope I have helped you :)

Thanks @Mamarvazq and @anuska .. I actually try to be flatter .. without uploaded or abrupt declines .. as is so small, in a few days you can .. and in others impossible.And on the days of many fun, games, run, zas!Based insured.That's when I had the doubt that .. because many times the free marks me much less than the capillary.But the truth is of great help to me.Now I want myo haha

Can anyone explain how to put free freestyle 2 to be able to have it on the mobile von alarms and in the glycometer of the free?I read that to have alarms first you have to start with my mobile but then I did not let me put the glucometer for readings.

@Dalu If you start it with the mobile then you can no longer use it with the Freestyle reader, passed with Freestyle 1 and passes with Freestyle 2.
To be able to use the sensor with both devices, you have to start it first with the reader but if the reader is old, you will not work the alarms in either, neither in the reader nor in the mobile.

@amiranda, the FJD canceled the April appointment but days later they made the consultation by phone.As my Abbott cloud data has, without problems.
I have delayed the appointment and the analytics for July.

I just put the first free2 and I have not yet activated it because I had to update the glucometer to version 2.4.8.I will activate it when the breakfast effect ends ... in a stable zone that if it does not make strangers.
I am not going to activate the alarms, I do not need, with the times that I look at the sensor is more than enough to overwhelm myself according to the days so that I can get or vibrate on top.

@Ruthbia yes, they also called me a few days after the date of my consultation.The same, consultation telephone and commenting on the Internet and how I was doing to have them levels during confinement.The next appointment at the beginning of September.

Ruthbia, during the day I do more because it happens to me, that I look at it a lot, but it is very useful at night, because I have had very fat hypos and it gives me peace of mind, if it reaches 60 that is where I haveThe limit put, I am fine and I can take anything, before I could be in less than 40, even 30, and asleep and without any symptoms, once the 061 had to come home because it did not leave 25 or with glucagon,Imagine the scare ... Fortunately, since I changed from Lantus to Toujeo, nothing to do, if it gives me any reaches 60 and little more, and also with the free it sounds to me, it gives me a lot of peace of mind.

Hello, the French online pharmacies where the sensors usually buy (in Galicia they do not finance them) are without stock
Do you know of an online pharmacy where they can buy?
Thank you

Hello, forum:

From Dexcom G4 I just passed to Free while I hope they call me from the FJD to give me the Guardian Connect (at the end of April I wrote to the doctor to ask about the sensors and told me that they were still going to take me to call me because everything isHe had delayed a lot by Covid and were now calling the first financing group).

Three days ago I put on my first free 2 sensor that I use with the FreeLink app.The problem I am having is that the differences in blood glucose between the app and the glucometer are sometimes vertiginous.I wanted to know if I can use Glimp while LibreLink.In fact, I have downloaded the application, but it tells me that it does not recognize the sensor.I have unmarked the High Data Rate options (I pointed out to me), Miaomiao and Blucon.

Maybe you can recommend another app if Glimp and LibreLink don't work together.What would interest me is an app that connects to the sensor and that allows me to introduce some capillary measurement to correct those differences between glucometer and LibreLink.

Can anyone help me, please?Thank you so much.
