Thanks for sharing. That clarifies things. I guess I’m gutted because I’m self funding, and so beginning to wonder what is the point of the libre if it’s not really accurate as it’s very expensive. However, I like the trends information and I guess the libre can’t replace blood testing.

Libre said 5.4 and blood test said 6.2. Pretty shocked and a little gutted. Any ideas why this might be? Thank you, all.

Congratulations on your recovery from surgery, and your successful weight loss. I don’t have answers for you today, but just wanted to applaud your positive attitude! I’m sure you’ll find people on here who can help. Keep going. Keep searching. It is worth all the effort. [emoji16] And I do know...

This is very precise, I will experiment with this and see what happens. Good to know, thank you! Anything is worth a try. [emoji5]

Interesting! I know if I get overheated I can get higher readings, so perhaps this is a weird fact that works? I’m going to try it and see. Brrrr!

Thank you for this reply. I found Body Pump and circuit training kept me in the 5s after, but the cycling really pushes it up. Amazing how one condition affects people so differently.

This makes sense to me. I really need to learn more about intermittent fasting though, as I thought it was a case of low food intake = low levels. Obviously not. What do you eat before exercising?

Thank you! I know it means well, but that liver is a pain isn’t it? Also, I can probably add stress to my list as I started a new job recently and it’s not that great. Also I have a lack of sleep. No wonder I’m spiking. I’ll try eating something to halt the liver in it’s tracks. Not sure how to...

Thank you Alexandra. I’ll definitely try eating something to halt the rise and see what happens then. I have a libre sensor on and it’s quite a revelation what your levels do throughout the day and night. Certainly worth it. I have been using fasting to keep my levels down but it’s just not...

Hello, I am T2 for 18 months now and always managed with LCHF to stay in 4-7 range. No meds. I went cycling for an hour today and have had readings of 8+ fasting. Is this something that happens? Really struggling to get this spike down. Thank you.

Thanks barrym. I love the fact you have misdemeanours! Appreciate the advice, very much.

Thank you for this, Clive. I hope so too; I don’t get why it has to be so complicated when our lives are already complicated by diabetes! Ah well, we soldier on, triumphant!

LCHF = Low Carb High Fat. A lot of diabetics positively manage their blood glucose levels by restricting all carbs in favour of healthy fats.

Thank you for your replies. I meant to say export from my iPhone scans of the libre sensor. I’ve now looked at the libreview and I’ll use that. I just wanted more detailed numbers on the daily graph. Thanks again all.

Can anyone guide me as to how to do this, if it’s even possible? Many thanks, all. Have a good day. [emoji5]

This makes me happy. Love gooseberries and rhubarb so I will defo add these to my food lists now I know we can have them. Thanks for the posts everyone. (That goat is hilarious.)

Steak, salmon, mushrooms, broccoli, cheese sauce, leeks, cauliflower, courgette, chilli, bolognaise, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, bacon, lamb. Oppo ice cream, nuts, raspberries, strawberries, heavy cream, dark chocolate. I miss buttery potatoes and marmite on toast but all the...

Thank you! I love diet doctor. I’ve used quite a few recipes from there already. Thanks again for the support. It means a lot! [emoji178]

Thank you for your reply. It helps so much to hear real stories from real people sometimes. I’m feeling quite a lot better the past few days and feel positive I can move forward again. Motivation is a fickle thing but we are strong. [emoji1320]

Thank you everyone for your brilliant advice. I will follow all of it (except get a doggy as my cats would not approve [emoji23]). Thank you for replying, it really helps! [emoji173]️
