I can probably find the email (I've been searching) if nothing else works but I definitely remember the email saying that clearing the cache was necessary. I can't remember if it was for web or on the phone (may as well try both, instructions on how to do so are on the web). I use dexcom g6...

Do you mean Libreview on the web? I don't use Libre anymore but I got an email a few weeks ago (which I've unfortunately deleted) saying to open the libreview page, clear the cache and reload

Well, here's a puzzle for you. Not at my most recent visit to hospital but the time before I was put on the "diabetic menu". For breakfast I wasn't allowed to have the scrambled eggs that I ordered, they gave me porridge and orange juice instead. I was not allowed to have the roast beef for...

Just for fun I just checked my Cronometer logs to see what I ate last Christmas. I know you're type 2 and your mileage may vary compared to me but this is a summary of what I had and I don't recall feeling deprived in any way (pretty low carb as well) Breakfast: skipped Mid-morning: (9:30) Brie...

I like that you took the time to write down your feelings. I've had a really rough week but even when I don't have rough weeks I sometimes feel as though it's all too much. Before the previous week my BSL had been 98% of the time between 4 and 10 and even though this is all kind of routine for...

Sorry for replying again, I thought I'd add some more information. I have sick day rules and had been following them but I just got so frustrated. It's like I wasn't thinking at all when I was rage bolusing. I even got brand new insulin pens the other day thinking that maybe I hadn't stored the...

Yes I agree. That's what I was doing and I learned a lesson. It could have been worse, I was lucky. I love the term @EllieM used "rage bolus" because that's a great description. Beware the rage bolus :) Yeah I'm feeling better today. Yesterday was all high again (everything over 10). At about...

Yes, that's what the hospital said. Last week I was over 20.0mmol/L all night which is very unusual. I went to my GP the next morning (I have a deal with them where anything diabetes related I can turn up without an appointment). He, the GP, gave me 10 units of novorapid and got me down to about...

I'm only just analyzing this now so excuse my rambling. But looking at the two peaks where the hospital gave me glucose straight into my vein and how quickly they dropped again seems to indicate (to me, I'm not a doctor) that the novorapid was still very, very active

The slight rise at about 4AM was in the ambulance where they gave me oral glucose. I didn't know that novorapid did this. Ok, I guess I did. But 13.0 to less than 2 in 30 minutes is what's concerning. I should have known though

These graphs are misleading. The day before Sun 29 my avg BSL was over 20. I was getting pretty ****** off. Sun 29 wasn't great either TIR was, I dunno 5%. At about 10 PM 29th I had a throbbing headache, I was peeeing constantly, I was thirsty, my mouth was dry. I was angry. Very angry. I will...

When I first started with Dexcom G6 I was calibrating every sensor after about 24 hours because it was way off, but after calibration the reading were fine. In the last few months (probably the last 8 or 9 sensors) I haven't had to calibrate once -- every time I see a weird reading I do a finger...

Yes insomnia is horrible :) Are you ok? If you need to chat I can stay awake for... umm, maybe 96 hours

Ok, it sounds like you're having a rough time. It's good that you're not having a meltdown though! Sleep -- or lack of it -- tell me about it, right? It sucks not being able to sleep. Last night I was sitting here at my computer at 3AM wide awake then I fell asleep until about 6AM and then wide...

My name is Craig by the way

Of course you're scared. I've been there. But is the diabetes important at the moment? I want you alive. I don't want you feeling the way you are. My advice is to take one thing at a time and from what you've written I know what I'd do first (and it wouldn't be worrying about diabetes). I don't...

In case my comment sounds like I don't understand or care let me clarify that I do understand. And I care. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for many years as well. My health is not good. Going to the hospital for mental health problems is scary. I get it. Please, just make the call

Hi Soph895 These are just my thoughts and you can take them or leave them. Up to you Reading through your comment the big take home to me is your depression, anxiety and su1c1dal thoughts and acting on them. To me, and I'm not a doctor, that is more important than all those other numbers. My...

10.1 isn't that high in my books but I personally don't think you can just keep injecting more and more insulin to correct it. Is your meter working?

Is 18 units of insulin as a correction normal for you? What type of insulin? If it was me I'd be calling someone
