Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has a theory as to what’s going on.
Prior to lunch blood was 6.2, was going to have two bagels total 85g carbs and an apple so gave myself 7 units of Trurapi which is under the recommended units.
An hour late libre alarm sounds blood down to 3.8, then 3.1, jelly babies and an energy bar plus a glucose drink,blood up to 9.2. Then up to 13.5, then comes down to 8.7, then without doing anything else within an hour it’s up nearly 14.
Any body got any idea why I had the hypo and why my blood seems to go up and down like a fiddlers elbow?
 
some of (fast) carbs easier to digest - some more complex (slower) differening times for digestion. energy bar - likely for the last spike would be my guess the energy bar digesting

I am type 2 metformin etc ,then 2 years ago had to have one kidney removed,,since then very difficult to control my sugar, with metformin as it could damage my remaining kidney ,so on metformin and insulin.
Eight weeks ago went onto Libre 2 Plus ,being honest ,I,ve been blown away at the massive fluctuations shown on the Libre ,some times with out even eating then see huge spikes or dives in sugar readings .Also in the last months my severe arthritis ,hinders me in most forms of exercise ,but reading your post has intrigued me ,as to the changes shown on the Libre sugar levels ..Also quick note my pharmacist and many in my area ,seem to having much difficulty ,obtaining the Libre sensors,,Has anybody else had same issues.
