This week in one place: why twiist won't let me bolus at 80, soaking a new sensor and whether it costs you days, and this week's Forum – your letters on the blocked bolus, Libre recalls, Medtronic sensors, and a faulty cassette.
Friday Feedback Forum – No Bolus at 80, a Trust Issue, and a Faulty Cassette
