I'm aware of this, but thank you for clarifying in case anyone else was reading! I'm dyslexic so I sometimes don't notice I've missed out bits of what I'm saying (or explained all the relevant parts). I think the key for me is that I'm not actually getting real lows at all, so the big drops in...

So this turned out to be a wild ride! It was obvious very quickly that I was getting a lot of false low readings on the CGM. We're talking as low as 3.3 while I felt totally normal. A family member had a blood glucose monitor left from their own health investigations, so I started testing the...

I will! Hopefully I'll have some good data to work from, over the 4 weeks (ish) I'll be trying it out for.

First it was dance - I did that from the age of two, through full-time training. I danced with an amateur physical theatre company right up until the plague of 2020, the odd professional singing job here and there but I wasn't trying that hard (I was trying to move into game dev and only dance...

I've actually only known people who had MCAS worse than me, I almost felt like an imposter in the MCAS support group I was (briefly) in on Facebook! I get symptoms of anaphylaxis just on breathing some things in (some are food, some are not) and what I'd describe as being like "severe food...

Ah, I've already paid for it! It looked like I'd have to be diagnosed to be allowed, there's a box you have to tick confirming you've been diagnosed with a type of diabetes before you can continue to the next page for the trial.

I've been having symptoms of reactive hypoglycaemia since I was a child, with various horrible experiences trying to get answers, but lately I've felt ready to try again. I'm on a very long NHS waiting list, but I do have a small insurance policy that will pay for consultations so I've got an...
