Libre App question.

[VioletMatilda]

My sister is Type 1. She lives alone and I have the Libre App on my phone.

She's recently had a chest infection, and whenever she's unwell her diabetes becomes harder to control and the alarms on my phone more frequent.

The current issue, however, is that I've woken several times to see that I am getting no data; it's stopped during the night.

I've phoned her twice at 8am to say that I've had no data since 3am and is she ok/ She's been annoyed both times. She says I don't need to bother with the data, so long as I respond to the alarms. She says the alarm function will still work even when the data function isn't working.

Is this correct. Will the alarm function still work, when there is no data?

Carers are allowed to do Dafne too but it’s intended where eg on my course the man with t1 had early stage dementia and the wife was his carer and so she obviously needed to learn it. The people who didn’t have any learning disabilities or memory issues etc just came by themselves no one brought a partner or relative.

a1c (long term average) doesn’t need to be a certain level for her to go on a carb counting (Dafne but some places have different names) courses. She just needs to ask to go on one or for a refresher.

she or you if you’re especially keen can do an online alternative to Dafne too called Bertie which is free and available to anyone
