If you have a phone that can read, you do not need a reader.

Diagnosed around 1977 Type 2. Still, type 2. Looks like I am a Type 2 guy by default. I like the new CGMs, but not their price. Walking helps, but it must be immediately after a meal. The reason is that the glucose starts rising as soon as you start eating. Easy to see with a CGM.

I ordered a Freestyle 14-day sensor, and I was sent a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor. This was the problem. I installed the Freestyle Libre 2 app on my phone. The problem was resolved. You can have both the 14-day app as well as the Freestyle libre2 app on your phone.

I just bought a FreeStyle Libre app. When I try to read the sensor with the app on my Samsung Android Phone, I get a message that it is incompatible. Has anyone faced this problem?

Too much carbo in peas.

I often eat Kiwi as it is small and easy to cut and eat. There are two varieties. They not only have Carbo they also have free sugar. I am skeptical of eating either. I hope to read some of your views.

I ignore this outlier. Do you often get 'Rogue results'? If so, that 95% of the times nor more than 5% is in danger.

What is the confidence level in glucometer measurements? One more prick means more pain, will it be 10% or 20% less?

I have been trying to regulate glucose in the blood for many years. 99% of the time the tests to determine glucose were pin-pricks and the strip or on blood that was drawn in a doctor's office and later analyzed in the laboratory. Recently I have tried CGM. During lunch, I tried to: 1. start...

I quote "It seems that it's being suggested in your graphs that 70-99mg/dl (3.9 to 5.6 mmol/l) is somehow a "normal" blood glucose range. I disagree - it's well below normal. I would suggest there's something off in a system that indicates these are high blood glucose figures." The 70-99mg/dl...

I did see something like this. Now, I wonder whether mine is also related to COVID. My blood sugar is not good but not a serious Diabetes. If it were that serious, my GP would have acted. Also, I don't know at what severity of diabetes that neuropathy would manifest. So many unknowns!

Thanks a lot. It indeed comes to my mind. When I use the 'magnesium oil' (it is not an oil but an advertisement name) diluted with water and applied to the skin, I do see a change in the texture of the skin with a feeling of 'not so inflamed'. This 'now it is better' feeling lasts a couple of...

I am heartened by your saying that controlling blood sugar can indeed make foot neuropathy go away.

To summarize, would you say that your condition is an after-effect of your COVID-19 infection? And this has nothing to do with your blood sugar.

I agree with ert. I am sorry you are in so much trouble. Your GP should have looked into this years ago and not let it come to this stage. I am having much milder symptoms and I have started seriously to take control. This said things are not easy when you are over eighty. My symptoms are...
