Abbott https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html offer a Libra cgm to test for free. This clearly showed me what spiked my food and when. ( not always 1hr after eating)

Check that increase is real by using finger prick test. My sensor readings go up to 9 or above when I have a bath while finger prick only shows 6.5-7.

Please read the research published by Covid join Zoe. (https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/do-i-have-covid-or-a-cold-how-to-tell-the-difference) Headache, runny nose, sore throat, sneezing can be symptoms of Covid. Contrary to what DiabetesUK published last month. Please take a lateral flow test...

Brilliant result @Tipetoo. Here in UK they now do accept that if you manage to stay below 48 without medication for at least a year you can be classed as being in remission.

The GlucoRx Go and the GlucoRx mini can be used with a Bluetooth dongle (£10) directly absinke from GlucoRx.co.uk. It allows you to directly transfer the readings to their apps on iPhone or Android. On my iPhone I have this syncing to the glucose app which gives me avg HBA1C.

Dr Briffa is amazed by Diabetes UK's recommendation that we eat 5-14 portions of carbohydrate a day. That is eq to 5-14 slices of bread. I weigh 75kg so still overweight. For me anything more than 2-3 portions a day will make my bg go up. Have a look at...

Did you use same details when you joined? You needed to provide email address and password when ordering the kit. Just tried to get to the company web site glucorx.net but this appears to be down at the moment. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Did Dr explain why .6 was too low? Have found american article which states that 40(40/88=0.45 in UK units) is great. See http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/healthy-eating/ask-diva-can-triglycerides-be-too-low Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
