Thank you. Yes I was also on a split dose of Levemir (13 at night, 9 in the morning). My need for it at night just completely disappeared. I was thinking If I did some basal testing I would perhaps find that I could reduce the morning dose and increase the nighttime dose again slightly (to stop...

Hi there, I was having some issues with asthma & diabetes at the start of this year. I was at diabetic clinic mid-Feb and was advised to try and find some patterns with my BG as I was spiking high with breakfast, asked to come back 8 weeks later with potential to be switched to Fiasp. I was...

Has anyone used this or have any idea when it will be available to get in the U.K.? Looks great https://www.accu-chek.co.uk/implantable-cgm/eversense-xl

Yeah my mistake. My GP at the time didn’t seem concerned that my blood sugar was 15- so she maybe had no clue what she was on about in the first place haha

When I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 4 years ago it was told to me that a fasting blood sugar above 11 indicated diabetes.. maybe that was a mistake then

When you wake up in the morning, before you eat, and haven't eaten in 12 hours check your blood sugar- this is a fasting blood sugar test- if it is above 11/12 then I would go to your doctor..

Not sure if you are aware but grazing on grapes is probably not a great help for a start. They are loaded with sugar :( For meals- why don't you try meat with side veg? May get boring but at least you could get a good amount of protein to keep you full? Also, snack on raw carrots instead of...

Yeah I understand that. I was just wondering if anyone else is having issues. I’m going to phone Abbott because my sensor is clearly not working properly. As I had said, I’ve never had discrepancies like this before so therefore I don’t see that saying ‘at these high levels there may be...

No the app and my BGM are considerably different. I think it might be an issue with the sensor but I’ve never had that before.

@helensaramay I’ve never had an issue until I started using the app

Because that’s where my blood sugars have been lately. I also had a hypo the previous day and wasn’t correcting my blood sugar- following DAFNE. I have never had an issue with these high reading using the reader. Just wondering if there’s an issue with the app

I keep getting false high readings. I’ve been scanning my sensor and it gives me a reading of 21mmol, when I check with my accu-check meter it says something around 14. This has happened a few times? Woke up last night and my Libre app said i was something around 26mmol but when I check my...

Thanks! I will contact them. I just assumed that because I could download the app it would work!

I’m not really sure that’s true- I think they’ve allowed 3rd party now as it works with Freestyle Libre’

It’s an iPhone 8.. it works with a freestyle Libre but can’t get it to read this meter ‍♀️
