    Dawn Phenomenon

    I didnt have breakfast for years, then carb-free salad at 12 and first sandwiches at 3pm which kinda helped. Since ive been using Fiasp my morning highs are gone and I can finally have (light) breakfast again!

    Fiasp vs no brand Aspart

    Fiasp: No brand Aspart: Please note that the 30 day periods also include 1 week of Fiasp use. So the no brand Aspart results would be even worse without this. The Fiasp is working significantly better. I find it quite shocking that no doctor ever told me about the existence of Fiasp and i...

    Fiasp vs no brand Aspart

    Hi Everyone, I started using Fiasp last week in order to combat frequent spikes after lunch/dinner. My first impression is Fiasp is indeed working faster. Also, using a flexpen, the injection system is way better compared to the no brand Aspart pens that are prescribed in the Netherlands now...

    Libre II sensor infection

    Dear @Toy12ht I had the same two times in the past. It wasnt any allergic reaction, but an infection like in your case.

    Freestyle Libre 2 & 3 aplus updates!

    For plus users that stream their bg values to their smartwatch: I found I had to change some settings in Gluroo for the libre 3 plus in order to keep values coming in on my watch. You have to switch your cgm from ‘freestyle libre 3’ to ‘freestyle libre 3 plus’.

    Freestyle Libre 2 & 3 aplus updates!

    Great news! After the Plus-update, Freestyle Libre 2 is finally able to stream BG values to your iphone without scanning. At the same time it’s still possible to scan the libre 2 plus sensor for a reading. (I think Abbot did this so they can still call it a flash glucose meter as only those are...

    Pain in toe could it be diabetes related?

    Hey there, Yesterday i put a insole in my shoes. When i put on the shoes I noticed a pain in my second (biggest) toe on my left foot. So i thought maybe the insole pressures my toe too much against the top of my shoe. Took the shoes off but now next day I still notice the pain on that one toe...

    Vitamin d usage

    If you get more energy from the Vitamin D, it might increase your activity, which then could have a lowering effect on your glucose levels. I dont know your age, but I would try to avoid these structural nightly highs, they damage your body. Maybe try freestyle libre or another cym/fgm in order...
