    Sweet hypo

    I buy the the Jelly Babies mini packs, I think its due to them being coated in that fine sugar so they start working as soon as you have them in your mouth.

    @TorqPenderloin my personal aim is to keep it in the mid 5's for as long as possible, I think its the perfectionist in me but thanks for those word about the numbers being good, I will stop stressing myself about it. Have you any tips for keeping them in the nice numbers? how long do you find it...

    I suffered all weekend with low blood (treated before hypos came on) so i dialled back my Lantus by 1 unit. You think a unit is nothing but today i had if anything a little high, woke up around 6 and its been hovering between meals at 6ish. My post meals have taken a bit to come down however.

    So good news! The Diasend method finally uploaded my data! I just disconnected and re signed in on the connected apps page. The Dexcom studio wont accept my receiver. Even though I want to start moving away from carrying both devices the Studio does seem like better software than Diasend from...

    Ketones

    Sounds ok to me! Less than 0.6 for ketones is what i was told and 5-8 mmols is in the safe range, at the moment I am aiming for 5 or 6 resting/ between meals but thats just me.

    Hi everyone. New Type1.

    I have started to inject 5-10 mins before I eat and it has definitely stopped the sudden spike I was getting

    Had an odd day today, I seem to be a little off with my doses, I had no hypos all week but today eating the same breakfast and a carby lunch sent me close to a hypo, both remedied before they went lower than 3. Last change to my dose was 3 days ago and that was my Lantus. My resting was great...

    Ahh yes I found that out by accident when I was first playing around with the app I totally give up with the software - I thought while I wait for a reply I would plug my receiver into the computer, doesn't work with dexcom studio! So i uploded with Diasend and the results are ****!! Nothing...

    I don't notice it tbh, only thing is I am conscious about is getting it wet in the shower, only because it seems the original white adhesive patch sucks the water a bit, and i can see it wet under my opsite flexifix layer. It seems to dry off however. I have been out and about today (first...

    We have exactly the same setup! I actually love my apple watch but thats for a different forum. I downloaded WatchSugar but it wouldn't let me log in (guessing US only now you mentioned it). I just have no clue on how to get my data from my phone. I believe the software shouldn't have a...

    Reporting on my first day with the G5. Firstly love it! Only complaint is that it was way off at one point, following food it levelled off around 11 mmols, at the two hour mark I checked manually with a finger stick and i was actually 6.8 - its been pretty close every other time and it did...

    This is more a question for G5 Users but I am sure there are some cross overs with G4 Users. What software do I use, I have Diasend app and Dexcom Studio (on PC) installed. I don't want to use my receiver (half the reason I went for the G5) but how the hell do I connect my readings to studio if...

    Ok so the sensor is in!! I kid you not it took nearly an hour due to the fact I saw the needle and my phobia kicked in! By the way, for anyone else worried, it hardly hurt, not even a pinch to be honest. Sensor warming up, haven't eaten yet due to wanting my levels stable but i fear i may have...

    What are the results like from the arm to abdomen, do they differ much? Assuming you have tried it in the abdomen at some point
