thanks lxarix do you find your libre readings lower than your finger prick readings mine vary about 2.5mmolGlad to hear things have settled down a bit.

Next two days 5.7 and 6.1. So sequence 5.1, 5.2, 5.7, 6.1.5.1 and 5.2 the last two days.
Down from 7+ at the start of the week.
Rigorous very low carbohydrate and no treats.
Still difficult to contemplate no treats forever.

I haven't changed what I eat and drink but I have been missing my brisk 4 mile walk because of a tender knee.
Off the exercise today as well; let us see what tomorrow's reading is.
I am now wondering if the brisk walking depletes my glucose stores in the liver, and without the exercise the stored build up again very slowly leading to overnight liver dumps.
Your telling me the good thing about the libre is that it shows you trends as when bgs are rising or falling i will continue with finger pricking for more accuracy and the libre as a continuos bk up if that makes sense also i got a half unit pen which will be better once i get the cartriges for itLady K, most of the sensors that I have used to date have had greater discrepancies than 2.5mmols from my finger prick blood tester.Even the ones that have been more accurate sometimes just wander off like wayward kittens. Sometimes they come back and sometimes they just fall off the edge of the world.

The readings can be off quite a by within the first 24 hours. The sensor takes bit of time to properly calibrate. There so,e good threads here about using the Libre.thanks lxarix do you find your libre readings lower than your finger prick readings mine vary about 2.5mmol
Whilst being dragged round the local Costco today and its shelves heavily stacked with Christmas goodies i went off on a mental tangent. What single characteristic is vital for all diabetics.. ? My conclusion - WILLPOWER or SELF-DISCIPLINE
Got more than a bit depressed in their bakery section and quite a few other places but with the extravagant amounts of sugar in so many products one just has to say no if wishes to maintain some semblance of BG control.
Thats the theory but in practice it aint all that easy. So will go and do a 10mile run on the treadmill tonight whilst watching a few more episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. What a life.!
Rant over folks.
You must find a happy medium which is long lasting and do-able. Why set yourself up for a fall when everyone is entitled to a treat filled christmas. Get on-line low carb treats in. Stock up now to help fill those gaps.

OMG KOT...hadn't thought of that...he sits opposite...perhaps I ought to move him upstairs...he's sulking like mad this morning...says I've shamed him publicly.I don't suppose the farty dog sits near your chair? Maybe that's why you sleep so well before you go to bed!
