    Freestyle Libre Accuracy vs SD Codefree

    I'm on my second libre. So, you know, tons of experience. ;) However, I will say the two I've used have been consistently below finger pricks. Within tolerance, interstitial.. probably.. still annoying as hell. The first sensor was between .5 and 1 mmol lower on readings (based on the...

    Ha! Yes. It's just an easy slide for me from one cookie to waking up covered in crumbs and empty packets.

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the support! @Jen6 glad I'm not alone with the undue self-pressure. Congrats on your low results, those numbers are fabulous. @Brunneria Thank you, this was a very helpful reminder. :)

    Wholemeal Rye Sourdough result...

    I've been making rye bread lately too. (And then trying to not eat it... Well, maybe small pieces. :) I actually like recipes that take lots of kneading! It's a sickness. Here's a pic of a 50/50 rye/standard flour loaf I made last week. I need to have another go at 100% rye. My first...

    3 month results

    So, I just got my results after the first 3 months (ok closer to 4 as I avoided the test for as long as possible). My hba1c went from 112 to 48. This is good. Why do I feel super stressed?(Probable answer: inherent crazy.) 1. I don't think I changed my lifestyle enough to warrant such a...

    Do you add honey/maple syrup to the granola it generally omit?

    Different reaction to the same foods

    I'm screwed. :) Probably also crazy, but I appreciate the info and vote of confidence.

    Breakfast ideas

    What sausages do you like. I'm currently living in NZ and the selection is not great - Linda McCartney and the Alternative Meat Co is what I eat mostly. I often eat toast with hummus and tomato because it's quick and I can shove it my face on the way to work. However, looking to sub in a...

    Different reaction to the same foods

    Okay, I updated to the second Type 2 in the drop-down. Did that fix it? Also, yes, veggie. The bg sensor is making me very aware of the affect of the things I eat. However, I was surprised to get a different level from the same pot of curry! I've been under a bit of stress and have noticed...

    Different reaction to the same foods

    @Jaylee Hey, thanks for the response. No, I'm not on insulin. I'm type 2 on Metformin (1000mg/2xday). I'll have to check my profile, maybe I missed something.
