    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    So my libre trial device arrived yesterday woohoo I was reading 7.6 when I started it at 2:30. I ate some white bread as I wanted to see how fast and how far my sugars went! A white bread sausage sandwich took me from around 8 to 14.2 mmol in less than 2 hrs! I compared it to a finger prick...

    Injections

    Hi @Bridie9408 I can’t really help with the injection side of things as I only do 1 a day but I can relate to the not accepting it.
