Lashings of butter! I love toast. If you want to be healthier, avocado with a pinch of salt.

Thanks! I'll be sure to have a look for that.

I've not had the libra terribly long and I'm currently in Florida golfing. I've 11 days left on my current Libre & I feel like it's starting to come away. I have purchased "Breathable flexible tape" - is that the right thing to do?

Thanks guys! Now have 2!

I saw someone mention Superdrug but they're not showing on their website. I'll check again!

I've been lucky enough to have tried a couple of libre devices and am happy to self fund until I meet the Scottish Government criteria to get them on repeat prescription. Sadly, I'm sure as lots of you know, Abbott are not selling to new customers. Where is the best place to purchase them from...

Thank you. I ate a pizza last night (for research purposes only [emoji12]) to see how long it took to increase my bloods. I checked my bloods every 15 mins after eating it. It was around 40 mins before i noticed a rise. At that point, I took my insulin. I'll run it by my hospital this week...

I will Google GI info. I've not done that yet. Still very new to it so I'll take any advice going! Thanks for your reply.

Definitely T1 unfortunately. They thought it was LADA initially - I still have a little insulin. Perhaps that's the reason they went down the Gliclazide route. Bloods better yesterday. I went very low carb and it did help. Hospital tomorrow! [emoji382] Thanks for your reply.

Given I just have to hold out until tomorrow, I went very low carb yesterday. I love carbs and feel poorly if I don't eat them but I was feeling MORE poorly with sleep deprivation! Your advice was spot on. MUCH better sleep last night. Thank you!!!

Thanks guys. In their defence, it was a short term fix whilst full bloods came back and to get my bloods down asap. I still had a bit of insulin according to one of the tests. Low carb is definitely a sound suggestion until Friday. I'm a wreck without sleep.

Diagnosed T1 last month & taking gliclazide which appears to have stopped working. Have an appointment on Friday where I understand I will be shown how to inject insulin. Bloods have been creeping up despite increasing tablets. Experiencing neurological pain at night and not getting to sleep...
