They allow you to extend for 12hrs so over 3 sensors you can get a day and a half extra, if you use the subscription on Dexcoms website for the One+ it is only £79 for 3 sensors, compared to Libre's £103.48 for the same amount of days coverage. Personally I now prefer the Dexcom after using both.

Thanks everyone : ) It's not really teaching anything I didn't already know, but it is funding a full meal replacement program for 3 months, then part-replacement introducing more foods later on. It is working, and my fasting blood sugar has come down and I've lost weight during the first 6...

3 month update, I've just had the results of my latest HBA1c and it came back at 34 mmol/mol - 5.3%. Since April I've lost roughly 70lbs, I was doing low-carb/intermittent fasting and lots of exercise, almost daily. But I got accepted for the "NHS Path to Remission Program" so I'm 6 weeks into...

Looks like @sgm14 's code is accurate, however GMI and HBA1c may rarely line up. You have to take into account variability in sensor readings, compression lows, the inaccuracy in the first 24hrs of new sensors warming up. The only data it can base it on is your average glucose over a time...

I did wear Libre2 for well over 3 months, it said mine would be 40mmol/mol and it ended up being 42. Another 3 months has passed and I'm due another blood test on Friday, I've moved to Dexcom One+ which has 81 days of data, GMI is saying 5.6% which is 38mmol/mol so we'll see how accurate this is.

I know it doesn't work for everyone but for me I've found very slow raise in BG when having sourdough, I occasionally got the seeded sourdough from the Co-Op, it's great toasted and the slices are a little bigger than average so you don't need more than one.

4.7 this morning waking : )

Favorite meals for me would be: 1) Steak, Eggs & Green Veg 2) Chicken Madras & Cauliflower rice Snack/Small meals 1) Stir fries 2) Poached or Scrambled eggs 3) Omelette Small snack wise Id say mixed nuts, small amounts of co-op 85% dark chocolate, pork scratching's, fridge raiders (or similar...

I've been doing it since Monday, dropped around 8 lbs as of tonight. Blood glucose hasn't been above 7 all week, FBG has been between 4 - 5.8 according to my CGM. First couple of days were difficult when I could smell food, my stomach angry rumbling but I think I've got used to it now. Not...

Thanks everyone, I'll give it the best I can. I was contemplating not even doing it, since I've lost so much doing low-carb and exercise. But that was by myself with no support or advice (apart from researching and reading forums like this) But it's not just the 12 weeks low calorie eating...

Fair enough, when you put it like that it makes sense. I still believe it gets a lot of negativity though, even partial completion and some weight loss is a benefit if people are struggling with diets, losing weight etc. I’ll see how it goes, but have every intention of completing it fully

Should people who drop out be counted though? It is extremely difficult but so is going to the gym and changing your lifestyle, if you quit anything you by definition won’t succeed at it. I’ve lost around 4st doing low carb, ~1500 calories a day and daily exercise, I’m due to start this program...

There's a story published by diabetes org uk 6 days ago saying saying one third of people who complete this go into remission? Surely if it's that many then it isn't a failure?

I officially start this next Monday, after a couple of months of waiting and then some supply issues that are now sorted out - I understand a few companies are used depending on where you are in the country. For me it's being run by Momenta and the Soups, Shakes & Porridge is supplied by Habitual.

Hello, Yes, In short, it's a low calorie meal replacement program. I believe this can explain it better https://www.england.nhs.uk/diabetes/treatment-care/diabetes-remission/ It is done in stages lasting 3 months for meal replacement, and a further 9 months of coaching/advice/education on...

You can purchase the exact same products they use on the NHS remission program if you wanted to try the diet yourselves, the ones I have been sent are from Habitual. Id speak to a GP/professional for advice before starting anything like that though.

5.4 this morning, back to the horrible rainy weather.
