    Type 2 Freestyle libre sensor.

    This used to happen to me sometimes and I worked out that it was because I was either leaning on it during my sleep (placed it awkwardly on my back arm) or if I was in the sea (too cold so the sensor dropped). Could it be something like that?

    Going on holiday

    Hello All, just reporting back! Well the holiday was a bit of half and half re food - the beginning went well, and I brought all my own low carb snacks, but then I started to find it really difficult re eating out, for veggie options that were also low carb.

    Going on holiday

    Thanks All, I think a mixture of all this advice is great. I think I will let go a little bit but not go mad. Only thing is I dont eat meat so although Germany is great for those things, not so great for non meat eaters - although I have already found a few fish places that look great! I think...

    Going on holiday

    Hi I wanted to get some thoughts on how people navigate holidays - sorry if this has been a subject before, I couldnt see it. I am due to go to Berlin next week for a week and I chose a city as I love being active on holiday, seeing sights, culture etc, but the other issue is that I have often...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I am feeling so ill since I got covid in Feb, I can't seem to shake a cold, lost my voice, earache, general fatigue and I looked into it and fasting can be used to help reset! Here's hoping, but i will eat if I feel really really weird or starving!!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Mine have been a range from 6.7 to 7.2 still after a few months of low carb and not eating after 7pm usually, will just keep doing what I am doing in the hope that it eventually comes down. After a few hours I get a lower reading sometimes but usually still high 5s. Prediabetic, or possibly...
