What finger prick method have you used?

Dont think so!!!! Was using a Contour Next before and going to Lab every week due to not trusting results. "Lab" to "Contour next"comparison: 4.6 - 5.7 (dif: 1.1) 4.8 - 6.8 (dif: 2.0) 5.8 - 8.0 (dif: 2.2)

LOL... My endo got mad at me for eating less that 10/15 grams a day of net carbs. She told me that diabetic diets should be the same as everyone else. In the menu should be *whole* potatoes, rice and pastas (she was only short of pure sugar). Recommended against keto (said not viable in the...

pre was 4.6 post 2 hours was 5.8 My average estmated BG in January was 14.1 (A1C: 10.5%), so I was happy

I am using my first Libre 2 and I am happy, went twice to the lab and the results prooved it a good match with the lab.

If you are worried with going too low with body fat, then you can eat more fat (which is what I do if my weight loss is making me weak). For that I drop tons of olive oil in my salads, eat avocados and olives, some fat meats and especially Brie cheese (very high fat very low carbs), 100% dark...

Swarnag, libre 2 provides 2 types of readings (on demand, which is what you have described) and continuos at the same time. Once you scan, you get 2 things: the current on time value and you also download into the phone the last 8 hours of data, which contains 1 reading every 15 minutes. Now...

It is normal for the liver to dump G when you exercise, its technically supplying stuff to burn... Perfectly healthy people do this too Anyway 7 to 8 is not a criminal level... if its in the context of exercise and high activity. I lost 17.5 KG in less than 2.5 months, under no physical...

Bananas are high carb, you can replace by avocado (rich in fat low in net carbs, lots of fiber). Carbs are addictive...

Im learning a lot with a continuous monitor, consider buying a Libre 2 sensor... (costs less than 50 in UK for 14 days) Usually my 24 hour day is like this: During sleep from 1 to 3 AM I get almost hypo 3.6+, then as it approaches morning it starts rising (its called dawn effect syndrom) when...

I recommend SauerKraut (fermented cabbage) as a side dish. I learned how to do my own at home in youtube videos. Have them in jars. Since white cabbage has very litle carbs and fermentation eats another part of it, the result is excelent, I could eat a whole bucket and my libre 2 sensor wouldnt...

Barry, would you be able to provide a BG number for that amount? how far it gets and how fast?

Hello Kenny, I have had a wonderful experience with my first ever Libre 2 (13 days), finger prick ones were garbage, consistenly gave me around 2.0 higher readings than Lab results (I went to the lab every saturday for weeks), same s**t results consistently. I had a glucose test tolerance test...

I'm also testing foods with Libre 2, but dont go into carbs (Im new to this and doing it all very strict when it comes to diet). The only thing I have noticed is that when I load fats (like olive oil), the post meal spikes are moderate. Maybe the butter? Also, I have seen a video that when...

Hello, I have been playing with a first time continuous monitor sensor for the last 2 weeks. I'm testing different foods to see what works best or worse for me. I was wondering for suggestions of what to test or not to test based on your experience. I have learned things like: - Not to use...

Thanks, Im idiot, just enabled wifi and there was the data!

Hello, I cant load from my cell phone into libreview... Stays there forever and after a long time tells me it cant find any device. I have checked phone is compatible according to their list, downloaded drivers, etc... I have searched and I'm not the one with this problem, however cant find...

Hello, I was in the exact same boat 2 or 3 months ago when I was diagnosed. Dropping bread and carbs was terrible to me at first. I went on a strict keto diet (was hard the first few weeks) but now Im fine. The issue is that carbs are addictive, and with Type 2, since you cant use insulin...

Thank you everyone. It started working again after some time :)

Hello, I got today my first Libre 2 sensor, and plugged it by noon. Got it working all fine for 8 hours. At 8 pm did a reading before dinner and after dinner, no more luck... Get an error saying something like (translated to English): Sensor error. Glycose reading unavailable. Try again in 10...
