I ride my bicycle at a leisurely pace along a nature preserve for about 8 miles and 40 minutes most days. I have found my reaction to my short term insulin is faster and less insulin goes further. And by BG is usually a lot lower when I get back. I actually had to start eating a small amount of...

I have been using the Dexcom for about 4 years and find it very inaccurate in the last 2. I have had to change sensors often, sometimes within 1 or 2 days of putting it in. Now I am finding that at any given point it just loses the signal or reports the sensor is not responding and for no...

I also experience the shower rise, I avoid hot tubs and sauna's these days

5.6 to 7.3, usually on the lower end if I stick to my diet, I need more will power

I agree on ChatGPT I have been testing it since it came out. I write code and in that arena it wrote entire programs in minutes that would have taken me day. I always trust but verify. Thanks for the tip on the spelling, I will keep that in mind in the future.

Thanks for that clarification. It never dawned on me that it would be different.

So I asked an artificial intelligence (Chat.openai.com) : when counting carbs for Diabetes , do you subtract the fiber ? this is the response: When counting carbohydrates for diabetes management, it is generally recommended to subtract the amount of dietary fiber from the total carbohydrate...

I decided to review my diet and excluded all cheeses as I had been doing previously. And this time I also eliminated most artificial sweeteners. Last night was just great and how my overnights used to be. A significant improvement. BG between 6.3825 mmol/l(115dl) and 8.0475 mmol/l(140dl)...

I also experienced the varying vision, however after I got my Hba1c down to 6.4, it cleared up.

That is a good workout. I usually ride a bicycle for 45 minutes, but just medium intensity. I saw this video, , and now realize how much many things can have an impact. I also never heard of DAFNE before but will look into it. Any thing that helps. Thanks

When you say high activity, can you tell me what you mean ? High intensity, medium ? I never had the Dawn Phenomenon until I started Tresiba and now am examining any changes made recently. Thanks

Hi I am hoping to get peoples insights on this new issue I have developed. Dawn Phenomenon. I am fairly new (less than 2 months into Tresiba. At first it seemed to be working well. But recently I have noticed my BG was 11.1 mmol/l (200 dl) in the mornings. With no food since 4 pm the previous...

I also have had similar issues. Currently I am wondering if the placement of the sensor is the issue. Dexcom help line said sometimes the tube that goes in to test the interstitial fluid for reading may not go in right. I opened a thread here today on this with the hopes that someone may have...

Sometimes my Dexcom sensor sends far off readings and sets of the alarms and all the inconvenient times (sometimes as on a long bike ride without my BG test kit) . So I was wondering if A) Some of my stomach is kind of pinch an inch ( or 3) of fat. Does that affect the...
