    Update: Newly diagnosed - now as type 1

    I strongly recommend dr Bernstein’s diabetes solution book or at least his youtube channel. You will be alright as long as you put effort into low carb. I lowered my HbA1c from 124 to 42 mmol/l in 4 months with Bernstein’s approach.

    No more test strips prescribed

    Google NHS guidelines for insulin users for your NHS trust - they post the guidelines they follow online so you can check what they are. For my NHS this is not true, but don't know about yours. I think this is life-threatening because I often find libre being off by 1-2 mmols so I NEVER give...

    Freestyle Libre Sensor: highly inaccurate??

    I have this all the time. You are inserting a foreign object to your childs body and the immune system kicks in, hence higher values than finger prick tests. The results settle in after 3-4 days. Also, whenever you take a shower - libre goes crazy. That is why I NEVER give myself any insulin...
