OK, sorted :D Me idiot. I'd been using an iPhone before and expected a button - hadn't realised that if I held the back of the phone to my arm it would just 'work'! Thanks for the seemingly simple suggestion!!

Hi all. I haven't used a Libre CGM for a while, but I'm trying to make changes to my diet so thought I'd get a couple for monitoring. I put one on my arm on Friday, but I cannot get the app to work. I get to the scan screen, but the 'scan' button doesn't appear to be a button at all - it's...

Flapjack anticipated high ... possibly offset by lots of walking if you were at the Zoology Museum? That certainly affects my trends.

I've just been through the same thing. I'd thoroughly recommend reading The Glucose Revolution. You might not want to follow all of her suggestions, but it's very well explained - and has helped me enormously.

Can you try to have a croissant with savoury things? Cheese, for example?

Also - go for a walk afterwards as it’ll mitigate some of the spike

Intrigued as to why your doctor doesn’t want you tracking blood sugars, as this is the simplest way to see what’s going on with your own body. Reduce carbs and sugar - ‘below ground’ veg also (e.g. potatoes). A walk after eating can reduce the impact of a spike, particular after dinner as the...

Thanks - seems to have worked on day two!

Morning all - thought this might be useful for those considering a trial of Libre 2. I’ve struggled with my weight for many years and have been mindful of my relatives propensity to drop dead with no notice .. mostly with tablet managed T2. Dad had gout as well. I had a health check and came out...

8.8 this morning, first time out of the 9s since records began

I’m going too - could be interesting!

I would give it a go - can’t hurt, and you can always continue finger pricking to check accuracy!

I’ve just started a trial of the Libre 2, and as someone who loves data, I think it’s fascinating! I also know that I’m someone who responds to seeing an immediate response (or lack of) to support my change in lifestyle and food choices so I can definitely see myself continuing with it. If you...

Morning good and knowledgeable people! I got a a Libre2 yesterday afternoon, sulu impaled myself and scanned it. All well. I installed Shuggah to get better information and to push the data back to Apple Health. All fine. However, if I close the app no readings come through to Shuggah, and...
