Hope you get well soon! My bloods weren’t right for two weeks before getting over it.

Thank you!! Yes I have and negative, seems to be just a very bad cold

I always get slightly higher BS when sick but this cold hit different! Holy ****…hope it ends soon. Yes am checking ketones :)

To make it into a CGM sorry should have finished that!

Hi all, I’m about to get the Libre 2 - what apps work best on iOS?

Thank you!

Thanks @searley, I do think that maybe i was on a too strong dose before and will discuss with them in a few weeks. Thanks

Yes I am on Novorapid and agree about the kick! Annoyingly sometimes it does this and sometimes it doesn't - I also often find if I correct before 4 hours (never before 3) are up then I can easily go low, and need to stop doing this, even when it's a very small correction of 1-2 units.

Thanks @Jaylee! I do think there is some overlap going on so am interested to see the basal test results. I think i've just always needed less overnight as i had this same issue with Lantus despite taking it in the morning and reducing doses to avoid overnight lows. Currently I take Levemir at...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with Lantus and BG control - I take my lantus in the morning (26 units reduced from 34). I’ve taken it in the morning for years now. The last few weeks my bloods start to increase around midday - 3pm (a stubborn high sometimes), but at...

Thank you - am planning on basal testing ASAP.

Did it all of a sudden come on? I have a Dexcom which has helped but unsure if it’s good for the anxiety!

Hi all, I’ve recently become very insulin resistant after a period of stress and a 2 week virus. My sugars were ok during the virus surprisingly, but now they seem to be all over the place. I seem to be very resistant in the morning and afternoon, where my usual 1:10 ratio does nothing and I...

Thanks - yeah recently I’ve been drifting at night so may lay off the correction...but you know what it’s like when you see it on the machine and panic ‍♀️
