    General Questions for a newly diagnosed Type 1

    Also wanted to add beer for me is basically like liquid bread the way carbs go for me so i can dose normally for it as I would most other carbs. Again something you will only learn what works through trial and error for your own body.

    General Questions for a newly diagnosed Type 1

    It will be alot easier for you when you get an Insulin to Carb ratio and can dose accordingly instead of having to work backwards all the time. Definitely try and get on a DAFNE course when you can. Alcohol is a big curveball and we aren’t Saints so we all can’t avoid it … i know I don’t...

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

    Good Morning FBG Fingerprick 7.3 Libre 7.3 been a pretty similar number most of the week. Wondering if it could have anything to do with my arm though id imagine that should effect my daytime numbers not just the FBG. Hope everyone has a good day.

    General Questions for a newly diagnosed Type 1

    Welcome to the club nobody asked to join! Alot of good advice has been given already. It certainly is a rollercoaster ride at the start but the more you do it and practice the easier it becomes. Just don’t beat yourself up when you make a mistake … this condition is alot of trial and error and...

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

    Good Morning, Its been awhile due to two weeks on a cruise and somehow managing to screw up my arm. Thought I should get back on the bandwagon after my Endo appointment yesterday. FBG Fingerprick 7.3 Libre 6.1 … bit of a difference there. FBGs during cruise were better then expected though...

    Strange Libre 2 Graph

    I have only used Libre for about 1.5 years but in this time I have never had a graph like the one attached. This sensor is only a few days old but in those days it has been similar graphs. Is the sensor faulty? Or is it possible for that much variability to be natural? Two contributing factors...

    Good Morning FBG Fingerprick 4.2 Libre 4.3 .. *picks my chin up off the floor* leaving on my cruise today so doubt they will be anywhere near that good for awhile. Hope everyone keeps keeping on. Take care if I don’t check in for awhile.

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

    Happy Friday! (Well at least in AU) FBG Fingerprick 7.1 Libre 6.6 … should have woken up earlier. Funny little zigzag pattern (between 4 and 6mmol) from 12am until 6am. Wondering what happened there especially since it was about 5 hours after last bite. Have a great day all.

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Hopefully the TIR is acceptable. In Australia the accepted TBR is also less then 4% … so the 5% is alittle over even if I suspect most of mine are overstated or compression lows overnight. I have started logging fingerprick test results in the notes so the clinic can see the difference between...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Wow got a quick result from yesterday mornings tests. The HbA1c was available to read that afternoon. HbA1c 6.0/42 I’m very happy with that. Lets just hope the Endocrinologist is at my appointment in a couple weeks … after my cruise. No doubt he will probably want it alittle higher worried...

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

    Morning FBG Fingerprick 6.2 (tied with yesterday) and Libre 6.7 I don’t mind consistency. Getting excited for upcoming cruise this weekend so after saturday morning I may not be around for 2 weeks … i’m sure numbers will be less then ideal anyway!

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

    I got distracted after the stab and only logged it in LarryApp as a note. :p i would say it would have been pretty close as lately my libres have been behaving.

    Libre 2 sensor and testing

    Great advice has already been given so not sure I can add anything. I do find the libre sensors are reasonably accurate but each new one tends to have its own personality. I still fingerprick at least 4 times a day… a habit i developed and never really shook after only getting my first libre a...
