    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Morning all 5.6 this morning, have been working away all week. I used to enjoy the travel and socialising in restaurants, now I find it stressful, every meal is a guessing game how many carbs/ how much insulin. I mis the times I could just eat without any consideration or consequences. My only...

    Morning all 4.9 this morning ,running a little low. This is the trouble with HCL having been ill for a week the algorithm has been giving me more insulin as my levels have been more elevated, now back to normal the system needs to adjust back to less insulin requirement, have to monitor closely.

    Omnipod 5 & Freestyle Libre 2 Plus Hybrid Closed Loop

    I’ve been self funding for while now, much too well controlled to be eligible, but that the numbers do not show the mental constant burden. For Insulet ( Omnipod) to deal with you an email will be required from your diabetic team stating they can support you. For sensors I’ve been using Dexcom...

    Late post but dropped back in the 5’s this morning with a 5.8 even though I have a cold. Tested and it’s not Covid. Funny how a little cold can play havoc with blood glucose readings. Have had to increase food ratio / insulin by 5 carbs less.
