Hi I'm a type 1 of 50 years and am not familiar with your type of medication but a yoyo blood sugar is a yoyo blood sugar..... Assuming your cgm is a libre then your sensor is 20 minutes behind the reality so i would be doing finger prick tests for accuracy and piece of mind. My own libre goes...

Hi @Nicola M I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I pop my sensor just above my armpit which is fine and dandy until it comes to swimming as i simply cannot put a plaster on with one hand...... Get this My wife cannot see without her glasses and even then she has to be very close so i end up...

Hi @aaronjunited1 I have no insight as i'm waiting in the wings... I will be changing from levemir but ended up with quite alot of it in stock as when i heard it was being discontinued i over ordered so i could change when i'm ready. I have chosen tresiba as its supposed to last 36 hours as i...

Morning all Back in works after my holiday and as always happens i've become resistent. I usually lose weight as i don't eat potatoes abroad but this time i haven't and have put it down to the coffee. The coffee machine in the restaurant should warn people as i had my first cup and my sugar shot...

Worn out as i was yesterday i decided on an early night but that went wrong.. 4.5 going to bed well i cannot go to bed on that so just had a few nachos then alarm went off at 3am reading 9.4. Like yesterday i jabbed a bit in and i'm good now at 5.9. I'm nearly there but no banana lol. Roll on...

Had a rough night (stomach) (i always think stomach is a weird word) levels gone up but compensated at 4am now its 7.30am and i'm sat at my desk at 5.8 drinking coffee. I'm just worn out. Started some new pills Amitriptyline recently which on a low dose help with my stomach but they didn't help...

Would you mind explaining the issue with water consumption relating to libre variability please? Its a new one on me. Thanks Tony

Hi and welcome. As far as i know it isn't available in the UK. Tony

That DAFNE philosophy doesn't take in to account the times we throw caution to the wind! Strangely enough being coeliac does help as i don't eat anything with wheat in and the free from alternatives are not as good and expensive however i do like a beer which leads on to crisps and the like but...
