Thank you! I have only joined the forum this afternoon and already everybody has been full of good advice and support!

Yeah I just tend to go into panic mode, I sit there thinking “come on liver dump some glucose” as I said before this is all new to me this end of the scale

Thanks, I spent so much of my time with diabetes with readings of like 15 to 20 since I have taken it seriously being low down is all new to me

Just done it again now .... 5.6 on the meter 4.0 on the Libre sensor

Quick question my freestyle Libre sensor is showing 4.4 but my finger testing machine (Tee2) is saying 5.7 So which should I pay more attention to? Is one more up-to date than the other? Or will there always be a discrepancy and if so is that within the acceptable margins of difference ? I...

Wow! If you went by the Libre sensor you are technically having a hypo every morning. I’m sure I was told ages ago that the reason you prick your fingers is because it’s more accurate or not up to date or something like that?

This has happened late afternoon early evening, not often but was a worry. My other post explains more

Ahhh ok, thanks for that info! I will make sure I do a finger prick as back up then. Have you any insight as to my question of should I be getting hypos as a diet controlled Type 2?

I took quite a few readings over that period so I’m not sure they can all be false readings?

It’s funny you say that because I did and there was a small discrepancy (I will have to check how much), here is my log of readings, I literally had a hot bath and went downstairs and it was like the levels fell off a cliff

Hello, right I’m a new member but I have a question (sorry if this has been asked before) I have my diabetes under very good control sometimes too well... let me give you some background I fast and eat one meal a day in the evening, of a morning I go for a few mile walk and do some weight...
