    Painful Libre site

    As I’m regularly experiencing Libre sensors falling off before the 14 days are up (have not found a cover to which I’m not allergic), yesterday I experimented with siting it under my arm, rather than on the back of it. Placing it was not painful, but it did produce a LOT of blood (ran down arm...

    This must be a first

    In the process of switching from a Tee2 to the Gluco Navii (much cheaper strips) so calibrating those and the Libre. Amazing agreement (ignore times, I don’t set them accurately).

    Libre 2 adhesion

    Anyone know whether Abbott have changed the adhesive on the Libre 2 sensors? While I’ve never had an issue removing sensors (originals or Libre 2), recently they seem to be dropping off early - have had 3 of the last 4 sensors replaced because they fell off early and the current one is working...

    Waitrose 90% chocolate - warning

    Was in Waitrose earlier, picking up a few bits for Christmas (and a lot of meat!!). Stopped at the chocolate section and was very surprised to see that the Waitrose 1 90% chocolate has significantly increased the sugar/carb content. It used to be 14g carb/100g. It’s now 22.4g. See pics (with...

    I’ve been recommended to take R-ALA (non diabetes reasons) and wondered if anyone could recommend a specific brand that they have found helpful. Many thanks.

    Celebrating real foods

    Having used ‘Abstenuary February’ for a bit of a reset, I’m setting up this thread for those who want to chat about low carb real foods. Quite genuinely, for me, there is no general sense of ‘loss’ or need to replace the ‘beige’ carbs, but addiction issues mean that staying away from processed...

    Abstenuary February, anyone?

    Starting this thread for accountability as I try to ditch high percentage cocoa chocolate - along with one or two other things, but that’s the main focus - once and for all. Addiction/comfort eating/stress eating seem stronger than ever with Covid and it’s restrictions in the background, so...

    (Lack of) stress and fasting

    Having spent several months trying to get back on the fasting trail - put some weight back on last year which needs to come back off - I have finally achieved it over the past week or so. The reason? Stress/cortisol, or the absence of. Was puzzling for weeks why something that used to come so...
