    Type 2 Freestyle libre sensor.

    Oh I see so the sensor stores the data? I didn’t realise that. In which case I may have been lying on it at 9am as was still in bed. That makes more sense. I will scan as soon as I get up tomorrow morning and not wait like I did today till just before I eat. So used to finger pricking prior to...

    Type 2 Freestyle libre sensor.

    I just don’t understand how my phone read my sensor when the phone was off? I didn’t turn the phone on until gone half 10 so it certainly wasn’t connected to wifi. When I first scanned the sensor my blood sugar was 7.2 and all I had had is a couple of cups of tea.

    Thanks guys. It's just so frustrating. I'm trying to get my blood sugar levels below 10 regularly as my vision is screwed at the moment. Diabetic nurse reckons if I can do that for a week or so it will improve. I do well for a few readings then eat something I think will be ok and it shoots up...

    Type 1 So I threw out the crunchy nut cornflakes.

    Crunchy nut cornflakes were sending my blood sugars into the early 20s. Thought right I'll get some plain cereal. Rice crispies I thought. Decent bowl of them this morning with semi skimmed milk and a spoonful of sweetener.........16.4!!! What? Is there any cereal I can eat that not going to...

    Type 1 Eyesight.

    Struggling to keep my blood sugars below 10 at the moment. Avoiding sugar in my diet obviously but even after a pasta meal it is shooting up to 14 when pre meal it was 5.3! Was a home cooked meal with chicken, bacon, tinned tomatoes, double cream and Parmesan. Wasn't a huge portion either. I'm a...

    Type 1 Eyesight.

    Hi all. Am a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic of 3 weeks. I am coping with that, its my blurred eyesight that is driving my nuts. Wear glasses for reading anyway and have done since I was 7 years old. Had a pair for watching the tv too which I have never needed as my far sight was very good. Too...
