My doctors have always told me that intense exercise is very good for diabetics and that my morning runs are a good thing. Because I only finger-prick tested 2 hours after eating, my doctors could never have known that I have blood sugar spikes when I exercise. Their advice was based on research...

Thanks for the reply. I have some serious reading to do! In answer to your question, my average is 7.8 mmo/L.

It's not the question you asked but, as an observation, the target for time in range is 70%. Your time in range is 100%. That's really good news as it means your body is handling your diet correctly. If you could keep that up for 3 months, if I understand the informatin correctly, I think you...

Hi all, LibreFree 2 user with type 2 diabetes here. I live in Cyprus and pay for the kit myself as it's not available here. I'm finding that I get glood glucose spikes to 14 or so when I exercise and to 12 or so when I have carbs with my meal. My time in range is 92%. I read somewhere that...

Lots of useful ideas and suggestions. Thanks. Interestingly, I tried asking the new Bing AI search engine "are blood glucose spikes when exercising dangerous for someone with type 2 diabetes?" It replied Yes and this thread was the link justifying that assertion.

Hello all, This is my first week using a FreeStyle Libre 2. It's great seeing when my blood glucose is spiking without having to fingerprick all the time! I am puzzled and a bit worried though. I'm a creature of habit. Every morning, I get up around 0630, do Wordle, go for a 5k run and then...

I get hypo readings on my Librafree sensor during the night. After some Googling, it seems that the problem is that when I sleep on the arm with sensor attached, the readings are badly off. What times of day are your hypo readings? Are you experiencing hypo symptoms?

Your time in range and average numbers show a fantastic improvement. Well done!
