Mt Blue Sky here. 3.9 @ 6.20 but last 4 days of Libre sensor so may be why (some researchers say 1st day and last 4 need calibration). Weighed (in other bathroom - steps help), wandered back to my room, showered , dressed, 4.5 so the pattern is right.

@Debandez Thank you for the info about your lunch. I agree that well-meaning friends just don't understand, especially about carbs. Sugar, yes; carbs, no. I don't know what elmlea is, though. Something to avoid, obviously -- which is good to know! :)

For info Saskia.

Hi Ian, I have experienced this on occasion. Is there a specific thread you found the info on? Thanks.

I just googled accuracy of Libre versus finger prick and trawled through the results to find the most academic looking one. Guided by The Science, me:angelic:

4.8 this morning back to finger pricking tomorrow as libre sensor pegs out today and will be a just few days hopefully till new one arrives.

Is it quicker to get them from elsewhere other than Abbott say Asda or Amazon I know Abbot are slightly cheaper but a bit on the slow side delivery wise.

5.1 this morning and pleased as I’m still on steroids for a skin infection. Lowest it’s been since I started the meds a week ago.

Mine arrive rapidly - except the free one when I complained about errant readings.

@ianpspurs Thanks for the reply.

BTW this was the chart for the day of that walk I took with almost disastrous result.

5.7 today, and delighted that 1hour, then again 2hours after eating a banana it remained 5.7.
Unless the meter is broken. But let’s not go there. I rejoice at eating banana, so will try the experiment again this week.
