Hmm just re-read the bellow, I'm actually not trying to put you off, a lot of people seem to get fantastic results with low carbing but... Personally I would love to try low carbing (and have) but I find it impossible not to lose weight when I do it (I'm actually trying to put weight on)...

Ah just fully read through the group (tend to ignore the chatter normally!) looks like the free shipping may have stopped. I Still think it's a cheek charging £5 postage on something so expensive! If I see another code I'll post it back here.

The facebook group has BCCFRD12 as the current code, is that not sorking for you @Juicyj ?

I believe the code for October is BCCFRD10 (thats one zero on the end) I would imagine that next month it will be BCCFRD11 (one one on the end). Matt

Coffee on it's own doesn't affect me. I *think* coffee with meals makes the meal spike me much more than normal (it's happened repeatedly but could be down to something else I suppose)

Ive actually cut my protein and upped carbs and that seems to work better. I'm assuming that if you up the insulin with your meals you would go low? Matt

Brilliant thanks again.

Oh that's fab thanks! Is sweet potato the same do you know? Thanks again! Matt

Hi all, Just wondering what everyone uses as the carb value for raw potato? (Just normal big potatoes) I've been using 0.2 per gram for ages but think it's a bit low (can't even remember where I got that from). I can find values for boiled / jacket / mash but can't find just normal raw...

Code for this month is BCCFRDL9 looks like the number on the end just matches the month number...

@pinewood yeah that's what I think I was seeing too (it could of course be a massive coincidence!) @TheBigNewt yeah I seem fine with it without food too.... Matt

I was reading an article about the benefits of Tea vs Coffee the other day (rock and roll lifestyle and all that) and one part of it said that drinking coffee with a fatty meal can increase the blood glucose spike (in non diabetics) to almost that of a diabetic person. Looking back at my...

Hi All, Apologies if this has been mentioned before or is common knowledge but after using the libre for over a year I've just found out that there's a monthly free shipping code. Apparently it can be given out by hospitals but it is also availiable on the Freestyle Libre Users Group on...

I find it really useful with the caveat that it always seems to read higher for me than a blood test.. that could just be me though.. Also if you have an android phone you can just buy one sensor and download the app for the reader. If you decide to keep using it you may want a reader / starter...

Can I ask if you are particularly insulin sensitive? For a correction I find that half a unit can drop me by 3 or more mmol and I too have found it hard to pin down the correct ratios / basal rate, I seem to get it right and then 2 weeks or so later I have to start again. I have always assumed...
