Hi! I would like to ask if buying a miaomiao add- on to Libre is worth it. My DD aged 7 is going back to school and there is no school nurse. The teachers have been amazing but we are all anxious. Does it work ok? Would someone surely recommend it for a child away from home?

Hi there. Exactly the same here in Greece too. Ive finally logged in now

Thank you for all your feedback. Ive been feeling much more positive these days, my daughter has been amazing by being so mature and responsible. Good thing she loves salad! My main goal is to make her a strong, independent person under any situation. Certainly Im seeing now its not only carb...

Hi thanks for replying. I tried the pancakes twice to make sure, yeah big spike to 270 and came down really fast cause we did some outside activity. Best breakfast omelette as you mentioned, some bacon, slice of brown bread and some milk. She loves it. We live in a village so we have most things...

Thanks to everyone for replying. Yeah, the counting carbs sounded to good and easy to be true. But sugar? Fat? Colourings? Conservatives? Nothing to be said about those. Thats what my dad didnt like. And luckily got in touch with a family friend who is a professor endo and she said the same...

Hello everyone, Its been a month since my DD of 7 was diagnosed as type 1. I want to add we live outside of the UK but in Europe. I would like to get opinions on the advice given to us from our team. The whole idea was " she can eat whatever she wants, nothing is to be withheld" I just want to...

Thank you for your reply and for explaining what happens. I read its called the pizza effect. She has only 2 slices with alot of salad and like you said she has gone pretty low and was high while asleep after 5 hours of consumption. Like you said, a small amount and lunchtime maybe. I havent...

Thanks for replying. I have no advice from our doctors to give insulin after meals and as we are new to this I dont know why this could be, her age? The type of insulin? What we do here?( Other European country)... Our diab. Educator couldn't help with the pizza issue either... Anyway, everyone...

There is a 100gr pizza= 30 gr carbs. So she takes 1/18 ratio= so she takes 1.5 doses of humalog pen pre meal. So we cant split the dose. If she takes more insulin she will go too low in half an hour, if she takes 1.5 she goes low but ok and then high after 5-6 hours. The way i see it is a real...

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what is the deal with pizza??? My DD has had it three times at night around 8 for dinner. Her levels go down and then sky high steadily at 02.00 nightime. This is homemade white and wholemeal dough. Is it the fat in the cheese and bacon that...

Wow! I see. I suppose things will change also when she gets back to school and out of the house. I can really see that with trial and error you find what best for you with type 1. Thanks for your help

One question: the "glucose dumping" of the liver, does it lead to high or low count? At 8 which is before breakfast she is at 78- 95. Sometime libre shows a hypo but after checking rarely is true.

Hi! Thank you for replying. Yes it spikes meaning at 40 minutes the arrow shows up and sometimes the libre can count and it say to count in ten minutes. When that happens its soaring to 250. Then it drops. At 1/15 it would drop to hypoglycemic levels at two hours, but at 1/18 is falls to 110 at...

Hi there, its been 20 days since by DD of seven had been diagnosed with type 1. Although her levels all day are in normal range 70- 180, everyday an hour after breakfast her glucose level spikes to around 250! Our endo said its ok. But is it normal? Shes at home right now but when she goes to...
