My Freestyle Libre 2 plus has for some time estimated that my A1c was 37mmol/mol, based on 90 day glucose data from the sensor. My actual result from a blood test just taken was 43mmol/mol. I would say the Libre fairly consistently underestimates my blood glucose by perhaps 20%. I tend to forget...

TOFI is thin on the outside, fat on the inside. If I lose weight, my arms and legs become stick-like, but my visceral fat resists leaving. You could have knocked me over when I was diagnosed with T2D, except my mother had it. Thank you for well wishes.

After a year of low carb eating - not no carb, and not dieting - I'm a TOFI, and despite far too many lapses, my HbA1c has come down to 43, after a shocking 88 a year ago. (I was clueless for years :confused: .) My previous result was 49 in July, and I thought that was amazing. The bad news is...

Good morning. .8 on Libre, after a very rocky month. ☺

Are you on a flozin? I got very constipated when I was, but it corrected itself when I was taken off.

Thanks for your comments. I suspect I've hit a duff batch of sensors. And yes my readings have gone haywire.

The first sensor just died before its time, after long periods stuck in "scan sensor" mode. I never had two on at the same time, so that's not it. I'm wearing the 2nd one now. To start with, it was stuck on "scan sensor" mode for 2 days. Now it's working, but with frequent long interuptions...

So, I'm abroad, about to eat out, when my CGM fails. Luckily I brought a spare. But straight away this one has gone weird, wouldn't activate for hours, then stuck in a whirling "scan sensor" mode. I can read it, but nothing more, and the graphic has become very wobbly, so may have no relation...

Yesterday for supper, I had a pizza, with Mission Carb Balance wrap as a base and a thin layer of spicy tomato sauce, sliced olives, Gruyere cheese (ran out of mozzarella), and oregano, baked at high temperature a few minutes until the cheese was melted and bubbly. Delicious .

4.8 on Libre after a bumpy week.

4.8 on Libre. I'm back on the saddle again. ☺

So far, Mission Carb Balance wraps have been a huge success. I had an egg mayo, avocado and tomato wrap for breakfast one day. My glucose went up by 2 mmol/L, which it often does when I have NO carbs at breakfast. Next day, I had a mozzarella, chili pesto and salad wrap for a late lunch. My...

Don't let the cardiologist get you down. My nephrologist at hospital was pleased as punch that my HbA1c was down to 49. Keep up the good work!

Re your CGM screenshots, I'm no expert, but I learned from an incident in which 3 successive newly attached Libre sensors read LO and 111 suggested I go to A&E, because I didn't have a glucometer to cross-check. My sensors were likely faulty (only time), but I have had readings just below range...
