Good morning @Aloha1816 I'm sorry to hear of your woes. Type 1 of 50 years here aged 56. I have tight control which got better once i got the libre around 7 years ago ..last hba1c was 39 or 5.7. I started with bad guts around 15 years ago and had a camera both ends and was diagnozed with...

Hi Yes i've done it. If your levels go high just treat it as you normally would treat a high. Tony

Hi I eat food and understand its carb content and thats it. I don't do cooking. I thought millet was for budgies? Tony

Absolutely and that was my point......i rarely beat myself up when things go wrong but i do marvel at my own greatness when i get it right!! I don't mean that to sound smug either as i find a good graph extremely satisfying and it helps my head space... Good luck Tony

Just to add as i was feeling at one with the world i got my ladder out and went up on the roof and removed 2 dozen balls....im a school caretaker with a frozen shoulder... Tony

Hi I looked at my TIR today and i've gone 7 days without going above 9.9 mmol/l. My 90 day is at 94% in range so i shouldn't be surprised but to go a full week is a first for me! Theres always an odd time where i creep above 10.... My success is down to the Libre and 4mm needles and because...

hi @webaddict You have had and still having a rough ride and @Juicyj is correct about your surgery. I am extremely lucky to have a surgery that is fantastic and i get all the care i need. Never under estimate the power of the doctors receptionist though as their knowledge is often more...

There had to be a solution........

Should that not be dissolved the problem???

Hi I'm 56 and been type 1 for 50 years. My control got better when glucose monitors became affordable and better again once i got a CGM. HBA1C 39 work and drive and weigh 11 stone. The future is bright..... Tony

Hi and welcome My sister and i are both type 1 and we have children who are not. Neither of our parents have it and neither of theirs had it either. This is not scientific but in our family line it does not appear to be genetic. I hope this helps Tony

I understand and resistance dooms us all although i do things my own way if i'm struggling as i stop eating for 24 hours.....i have a sensitive stomach so find it quite easy to only eat carbs once a day and it works but again it might only be just me. Ultimately what are we actually doing...

Hi Thats an awful lot of insulin when you were ill! I take 10 units of levimir during the day and 14 units in the evening. I never increase that just my fast acting novorapid if i need to. The effect of walking on my insulin and food intake has always fascinated me and as i said the libre...

Hi My good control of my levels went to excellent when i got my first libre...... I was able to analyse my data to the nth degree and i did and was able to link walking (i don't class walking as exercise) to insulin and food intake. I can only share a typical day for me and add i have always...

Hi I don't know either lol however i rarely have problems so am convinced along with being stable with no food or fast acting insulin on board it all contributes but but but i cannot prove it. Thanks Tony

Hi I haven't noticed any difference between libre 2 and libre 2 plus. I still put a sensor on 24 hours before activation and never activate unless my levels are stable and finger prick test just after activation to check its accuracy. There is no advice telling people not to activate unless...

Hi @MajorG Welcome to you.... I put a new sensor on whilst my existing one is on its last 24 hours for it to bed in. I only activate a new sensor if my levels are stable.....as in i would not if i had loads of food and insulin on board. I finger test an hour after activation then do so...

Hi I read recently that a libre cgm is not admissable in a court of law and you should use a glucose monitor. You cannot use your phone whilst driving even if you are checking your levels. I read this so please don't take it as gospel as i don't want to depress anyone! The law is daft at best...

Hi and what a fabulous name... Tony

Hi Lol lol your fact about diabetes is a bit vague. I'm in year 50 of being type 1 and mine cannot be reversed but my dad developed type 2 and he reversed his. I spend a fair bit of time dismissing certain posts on here as they are about things i either don't know about or disagree with down to...
