Not just the control but also understanding how different food types cause a spike too and also it can take hours for levels to increase. Paul

90% is top drawer [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319] I have stayed away from using a pump as manual injection seems to work well although I also carb count Paul

Decided to start using Dexcom 6 some 8 months ago and visited the doctors earlier this week to get the results. Was pleasantly surprised to be told it was 40 and my lowest reading since being diagnosed some 14 years ago. I have found this device to be a game changer and so much easier to...

It is a 5 day course by the NHS that helps to work out and monitor your carb intake and how to dose the right amount of insulin. Simple things like reading labels and working out carbs. Looking at different food groups to understand how some have low to zero but others have lots. Also how...
