i did test again 5 mins later and they were 9.8. i just didn’t understand why it gave me such a wrong reading

i use the contour next test in kit. it was more the fact that i tested my blood and it was 5.1 and then tested again seconds later and it was 9.3...

hey guys i’m on the freestyle libre and at the moment it says 10.6 straight arrow down, so i tested my bloods and it said 5.6?! so i tested immediately again because i though this can’t be right unless my libre is very in accurate, and they were 9.3? why does my blood glucose reader give me...

I’m not overly keen on red wine as i find it very strong. is there anything i can mix in with it to make it taste a little nicer? maybe diet lemonade

hi guys, i have noticed that proseco and champagne does not raise my blood sugar levels, but does anyone know if white wine does? buying glasses of proseco or champagne on a night out can get quite expensive and would be more cost effective if i switched to the occasional white wine, but have...

hi all, i’ve been really sick lately and my blood sugars have been up and down all over the place. i’m starting to feel better so trying to get my sugars back on track but i constantly feel shaky and dizzy, almost like my sugars are going low but there not. and i feel like this pretty much...

also anything seems to affect my sugars. i have tried egg and bacon without injecting as no carbs but my sugars still rise. and for lunch i have salad which is 3g of carbs and tuna and they still rise??

hey all, i have been struggling to figure out a good breakfast option for me as a type 1 diabetic. i’m currently on novarapid for fast acting insulin and levemir for long acting. i usually have porridge but that always sends me with high blood sugars after. this morning i had honey hoops...

hey guys would just like a bit of advice for the last month or two now i have constantly been setting alarms in the night because no matter what i go to bed on ( 10mmol, 15mmol etc) my sugars will drop in the night and cause hypo.? i have tried adjusting my long acting insulin but i also have a...

it’s only been in for about 3 hours and my blood sugar went to about 6.8 quickly and then back up to 9 now. but my libre is saying 2.9 straight arrow down??

i have activated already but only because i was never told to leave it? i was told to activate straight away, this is only my second time

URGENT! just applied a new freestyle libre sensor, and it immediately started to bleed, it’s stopped now but does feel a bit uncomfortable? what should i do

hi guys, quick question for anyone on the freestyle libre. i know the direct arrow down means your dropping fast, but i wanted to know if my blood sugars were between 8-6 with a straight arrow down, how bad is that? does this mean i’m pretty likely to go low? should i eat something before i get...

hey guys for the last 2 days running i have been added up my breakfast correctly, seeing numbers of 6-7 after breakfast, but after lunch i have added everything exactly correct again and my sugars drop suddenly within about an hour of me injecting! i can’t seem to understand why this is, my...

hi guys, i’ve only had my libre for 1 day, so not used to it yet. but sometimes when i scan my libre it will give a number but won’t show any arrows. i’m not sure if this means i’m using it too much but sometimes i leave it 10-15 mins and the arrows still aren’t there?

ok thank you!

thank you! another quick question, i have just got the libre today so not 100% used to it yet. i know you have to still use blood glucose strips when blood sugars are dropping or rising, but if my sugars are pretty stable throughout the day should i still test my blood?
