Thank you, they would be my "desert" so straight after my dinner. I had a complete blank as I'm used to using them for hypo treatment. I dont snack on thing like that - being a dental nurses it against what I know :) xxx

My mind has gone blank. I attended a course similar to Daphne last year and it went through all the usually carb counting and foods to inject for etc. One thing I've gone blank on is Jelly Sweets, like Haribo. I only ever use these to treat hypos but every now and then would like a treat of...

We definitely do find out our quirks. I'm certainly still learning about this funny disease we have. X

Usually my levels are pretty good around bedtime, I've had a few days since starting the libre with there are a few ups - maybe up to 10 and go up and down and wake up on a good number. But never understand what causes the big rises. I think you are right, I should finger prick test along side...

Hi Urbanracer Thanks for your reply. Most evenings we east around 6/630, on the odd occasion it may be later. Dinners can vary from Chicken salad and potatoes to pizza and salad. There is usually some carb (sometimes low, but obviously half a pizza is pretty carby)but inject a ratio of 1:10. I...

Good morning I wonder if anyone could shed some light. I am on my third week of the freestyle libre which is great, it's so helpful with understanding which way your Bg levels are going etc. It has also explained alot of me since using it. Prior to using I would often wake with bg level of say...

About 10 months after I was diagnosed (which was 2017) I was at my heaviest. I am unfortunately overweight and have been for as long as I remember. My dsn explained it may be likely that I would put on weight as I had lost alot of weight a few weeks prior to diagnosis and that from her...

Afternoon lovelies. How do you prevent spikes in bg levels after eating? My dsn said this is normal but I'd love to be able to stay in range after eating a little more. I inject pre-meal. There are certain food that make my bgl spike more, for example cereal - anyone else? xo Scarlett

Pepper corn

I bought some round plasters that go over the existing adhesive just incase it starts to come loose. Haven't had to use them yet though - bought from Ebay. Bought some funky ones from an online diabetes page too. Not sure I would find one of these bands comfy, but I dont think they are too...

Strainer Mesh

Sounds like you have a great positive attitude! Goodluck xox

Does anyone know if you can use a Smart Watch to directly scan a freestyle libre? If this is possible which smart watches are best to do this? I'm guessing the watch would have to have NFC like a smart phone does. The only info I can find include a MaioMaio to get continuous bg results. Thanks

Novorapid 3 times a day And lantus once a day..

Last night/this morning I have been sick 6 times. I haven't eaten anything and only had a sip of original Lucozade thay my OH got me. I have been testing my glucose levels and they are fairly high, 14.5mmols being the highest after one small beaker of Lucozade. I was only diagnosed being a T1D...
