Totally agree about the Libre -that's why I'm using dexcom now! Once the libre told me I was 'LO' for about 45min (I had a hypo around 3.0 but came back up, and it was still reading low when meters told me I was in the 8's). I called the Abbott people and they said that the sensors are sometimes...

No alcohol. I don't drink - I think it would far too dangerous, with no positives, to risk having a hypo that glucagon couldn't fix, even though I've never needed it before. Also I might not be able to make the correct treatment decisions while drunk.

5.9 today :)

5.8 :)

6.3 :/ basal needs adjusting

I don't eat out much anymore :( When I do, I get a low carb thing like chicken Caesar salad. It's just not worth guessing and getting it wrong - that's the reason I gave up a lot of takeaway foods as well. I actually used to visit a waffle place fairly regularly, totally guessed the carbs, and...

6.1 :) Sensor change night so alive in the morning = happy

5.7 today, huge improvement over last night :)

6.7. I had such an awful night that I'm actually happy with this :). Problem 1: Dexcom follow app didn't work Problem 2: This resulted in a horrible hypo in the middle of the night. Woke at 3.2 (I haven't been that low in like a month, very disappointing), had juice, dropped to 2.7, more juice...

5.0 :)

5.3 :) (if I can trust the new sensor. Seems to be doing ok so far)

5.9 :)

I really like the pump! I've had it for almost a year now and it's made my diabetes management so much easier (my basal is very different at different times of day, and I need to turn it off completely to exercise). The only complaint is that sometimes it gets an air bubble/bent cannula/other...

6.2 :/ Little higher than usual, at least I only had one drop, so I'm making progress!

That does seem a bit high. I take 1 unit/6g carbs (this has been changing a lot recently due to exercise) and for corrections, 1 unit will drop me by 4mmol/L. I think most people have a 1:3 ratio (1 unit drops them by 3), or at least that was what I was told in pump training.

5.0 :) Night time basal is a bit too much. I wish it would stop changing all the time!

19 years old here, diagnosed type 1 when I was 17. I had to make so many changes to my life but there's no other option really. Keep posting to the forum, there are plenty of people to talk to here and share your experiences with. If possible, find a local diabetic support group to meet up with...
