    Type 2 Savoury shakes

    In your previous post you mentioned low cal meal replacements, here you mention low carb. Are you looking for low cal and low carb meal substitutes? For all meals or for some meals? Not sure what you mean by a 'low carb reset', what is your usual diet like? As for losing weight, I've never...

    Thirsty but blood sugar low

    Hi @GLev , thirst and a dry mouth associated with diabetes is caused by high blood glucose. What are your blood sugars like, and do you test when you're thirsty? Dry mouth and lips can be caused by a number of other things. No one on here will be able to tell you if you'll need insulin, but if...

    Any particular nutrients you are looking for? Are you looking for a meal replacement shake or more for something like a snack? With what goal?

    Anyone had reactions to basal insulin only?

    Semglee is another insulin glargine, like Abasaglar, Toujeo, and Lantus. Still, slight differences between them so worth a try.

    Gained weight on Kefir

    Sleepiness was one of my main symptoms of high BG before diagnosis. Even when not testing several times a day, it may be worth testing when you have symptoms.

    Diabetic neuropathy

    I'm sorry to hear about your issues including kidney problems, and I'm sorry I don't have much knowledge on this. But are you sure that ibuprofen can cause hypos/low blood glucose? I haven't been warned about this at all, and haven't had issues with ibuprofen either but if there is a side effect...

    What is the issue with ibuprofen and insulin? I'm on insulin and never noticed anything when taking ibuprofen and haven't been warned about anything either.

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    In the app, go to 'Settings' and you can change to mmol/mol, change your preferred range, and some more things. Go to https://www.libreview.com/ (I prefer a PC to use LibreView), create an account by following the given steps, and you'll find everything from the past three months already there...

    Bit confused... but doesnt take much with me!

    At a guess, it was the 4th from the bottom right. Hover over it with your mouse and you'll see the description in words, which is what I think the filter picks up. I'll bow out of this thread otherwise, I don't think I have any useful input here but I hope you'll be happy with whatever you...

    My new challenge ,

    Sounds like you're doing very well despite the setbacks you've had along the way! I'm sorry to hear that a legless life is more difficult than you anticipated, but being back home and having the energy to be utterly frustrated with not having a leg to stand on sounds like you're way more...

    Hit a real low.

    You may need to shrink the picture size, the forum doesn't like large pictures.

    How low do you go, and can you find a pattern in when they happen?

    New Libre 2 Plus sensor readings

    Because interstitial fluid lags behind blood glucose a bit, the sensor won't give you numbers at a very steep drop. Sensors are very useful to find patterns and trends, they're not that useful for absolute numbers, especially not with quick drops and rises. So I wouldn't believe that 3.4...
