I did actually try adding carrots to the meal once when I was still having potatoes with it. It worsened the drop in my levels, believe it or not. o_O Though, I will add that I didn't tweak the amount of carb I was consuming, so it's hard to say what happened there. I do agree with you on...

See, this is the problem for me with this meal. Because it doesn't seem to matter what I've done throughout the day, or what time I eat at, or what day I eat on, or whether I inject before or after the meal, or what dose I take. The reaction to the meal is usually the same. The only difference...

Just wanted to update this thread regarding how the past week has gone so far since injecting after the meal, because... Well, it's certainly been interesting. Before I do, though, I wanted to clarify from my initial post that I no longer use roast potatoes with the meal. I've had to stop...

@EllieM @ViktoriaM 'Pizza effect'. I didn't know it had a name. I'm glad I'm not crazy and that it is a known problem. That article was quite informative, I must say. I had considered injecting after eating due to my suspicions it was a digestion delay issue. I am going to have the meal again...

So, this is a bit of a weird one that I've been dealing with for a while now. Not sure if anybody could help me with it, but figured it was worth a shot. For context, I am a Type 1 diabetic who uses Novorapid and Tresiba insulin. I also suffer with IBS-C (this is semi-relevant). Two days a...

I've been on Tresiba for over a year or two now. Was on Levemir before that. When I first switched to Tresiba, I was using between 8 - 10 units of Levemir every 24 hours, so I stuck to the same dose for Tresiba and injected it every 24 hours, per my consultant's instruction. First two days I saw...

It's been a while, so I figured I'd update this thread with a recent development I've had regarding my sensors. Over the past month, I've used sensor patches to see if having something holding my sensors in place would improve my readings' accuracy. I'm not sure if the person who originally...

27 degrees? Oof. Yeah. This is concerning. Where I live in the UK, we’ve been having temperatures go above this range occasionally in the late afternoon. I keep my sensors stored inside their boxes until I need to use them, which are kept inside a shoulder bag inside the wardrobe in my bedroom...

I've been having reading variation issues between my sensors and my meter for a while now, both when I was using the Libre 2 and the Libre 2+. Both readings stay within 1-2mmol of each other for the first week or so (the variation being more common with high readings rather than normal or low...

This sounds like the false readings could be being caused by a compression low. Sometimes when people sleep on the arm their sensor is on, the pressure applied to the sensor can cause false drops in readings. Also, because the sensors track the glucose levels through the interstitial fluid in...

Honestly, the thought of my sensors coming loose has crossed my mind when the reading variations have skewed over 2mmol. I do frequently get them caught or knocked on stuff and that has pulled the adhesive off the sensors in some places. But because the sensors have still felt secure when I've...

Hi there, Coffeemonster. I'm also a new user of the Libre 2 Plus sensors. Aside from the 15 day lifespan, I haven't noticed anything specific about the plus sensors that differs much from the Libre 2 sensors. I just went onto Abbott's website to see if they mention anything specific in their...

I've never worn my sensors whilst travelling outside of the UK before, so I can't speak on that through my experiences. But regarding the errors: when they've cropped up, have you noticed if they've been happening at specific times? Like, say, after you've eaten, or if you've left your device in...

As @Zhnyaka has said, the GI of food plays a part in how quickly it can reach your digestive system. But there are other factors that can affect the rate of digestion, such as a person's metabolism or if they have a chronic illness that affects their digestion, like IBS for instance. Depending...

If you go into your LibreLink app, bring up the menu and then scroll down to and select the About option right at the bottom, you can view the serial numbers of the last three sensors you wore that the app recorded. If the first six letters and numbers match for each sensor, then you'll know...
