Did you have to link the app to the website somehow? At the moment logged into LibreView I only see the option to link a reader via USB, not the app ("connect reader to computer"). Sorry for denseness...

@charliebarker how do you export the 15 minute levels from the app? Share the Daily Graph to an email account? I, too, am a spreadsheet nerd!

Prof Taylor says weight loss over any period of around 15% weight at diagnosis should do it. It's not been everyone's experience though and there could be a lot of reasons for that (including not knowing how long you've had diabetes before diagnosis, how much beta cell function you have...

Honestly it all comes down to testing, I think. I find if I've had a very low carb day I can handle a bit of the stuff I shouldn't have (dark chocolate, toast etc) - but if I was testing high I would eat something else. Everyone's diabetes is unique - if you can enjoy a bit of cake without...

Totally agree! I think a lot of it is psychological though - I wouldn't bat an eyelid for 5.4 vs 5.9, but for some reason 4.8 vs 5.3 *seems* like more of a difference! I'm still doing some finger pricking just to keep tabs on it. If it stays consistently low by about 0.5mml/l I'll be well...

Congratulations @PenfoldAPD ! What a great result!

My one is currently running about 0.5 lower than normal so I would expect the HbA1C estimate to similarly be a bit off. One of the reasons I got it though was because I was concerned that I was missing spikes in my BG by doing finger pricking alone. MySugr estimates my next HbA1C to be 34...

Probably quite low, thinking about what they're supposed to be made of, but again likely depends on the quality. I can imagine the cheaper brands of black pudding being the kind of product that is bulked out with cereals and other carbs.

How long's a piece of string? I find for me it's more about how many per meal rather than total consumed. I get about 50g a day but if I ate that 50g all at once I'd spike massively. Instead I spread them out throughout the day, and that seems to work. Sandwich thin on its own? Fine. Banana on...

I tend to find that the store-bought pre-riced cauliflower goes off really quickly. If you pulverise a head of cauliflower in a food processor it seems to last a bit longer (plus you get more servings)

That jelly is a revelation! I've not found I've really kept my sweet tooth but when I do need something sweet Hartley's is brilliant

Good point! Quite a low of low quality sausages are filled up with rusk and other carb-heavy nonsense. I love a full English now and then, and it has minimal BG impact on me. I also go for the "no-added sugar" baked beans every now and then - they'll push me up about 1.5mmol/l but if I'm...

Just started using my first sensor. Already loving the freedom to test whenever without having to take time out and go somewhere to test. Quite happy to just do it at my desk now. Accuracy is a bit of a concern at the moment - my Tee2 is saying 5.4 while Libre is holding steady at 4.9 10...

Sorry may not have been clear - the optimal outcome for ND is that the person finishing it is no longer diabetic i.e. has normal insulin response, so going back to an Eatwell plate diet wouldn't necessarily be harmful for someone with restored pancreatic function (so long as it doesn't cause...

Surely the Eatwell Plate is only a '****** diet' in the sense that for diabetics it's full of carbs? I would imagine a person with normal blood sugar response would be fine on that diet so long as they kept portions reasonable. Most people eat that way, after all, with relatively few ill...

Well, just applied my first sensor. Couldn't believe how painless it was. Currently sitting on the back of my arm under a transparent dressing plaster to keep it secure. Have decided to wait about 24 hours as has been recommended elsewhere but it was such a smooth process I can't imagine there's...

I know that Dr Fung is very popular around here and that he has helped a lot of people on the forum. However I'm not sure if he's done any clinical trials around his theories yet, which I guess is why the ND is held up as a more 'legitimate' response to T2D than intermittent fasting. I find all...

I think this is a very good point. Of course we'd all like it to be a real shot at 'curing' the condition but at the moment I would say the statistical validity of the results is questionable due to both the sample size and the mixed results of the follow-up studies. It does seem clear that for...

Did anyone see this study in the news this week: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/biotech/sd-me-diabetes-exosomes-20170919-story.html Thought it was really interesting - though of course the step from mice to humans is a loooong road!

Like you, I've picked this diagnosis up in my 30s and it's quite an adjustment. I'm medication free for now, dependent on my next HbA1C results. It sounds like you're already making great progress but the advice above about remembering this is a marathon and not a sprint is really important. We...
