7.1 today, that is after normal eating for the last few days (if not weeks). 5.5 Xmas day and 5.3 Boxing Day. Back to running after a bit of rest with a disgruntled left leg (again). What day is it ?

A belated happy Christmas to you all. 5.5 yesterday morning , pre-run. I’ll report back with today’s FBG shortly.

Managed the Silverstone 1/2 marathon on 10th October with a time of 2:11:44. Enjoyed it so much I did the Liverpool RocknRoll 1/2 marathon two weeks later in 2:09:23. Registered for the Manchester full Marathon next year.

I’ve spent the last 11 months getting fitter and reducing my HBA1C by about 65 mmol/mol. Pretty much all I do for exercise is run, I’ve gone from walking when I felt like once a week for a few Km, to running half marathons, having not run for 30 years. If you stick with go to a running shop...

Morning all, 5.9 today, I’ve been finger pricking less and running more recently as I was due the detailed annual medical stuff that goes with work. This annual stuff now includes an exercise ECG, which no longer bothers me and a visits to consultant endocrinologist and cardiologist. Neither of...

Brilliant Estragon, well done.

Took it out today, once again felt nothing as it came out apart from the glue sticking to my arm. It’s worked pretty well, the high glucose alarm works, and it’s handy that it can shared with someone else’s phone. I assume the low glucose alarm also works but I didn’t set it off once during my...

78kg this week.

Thank you ianpspurs and coby for your kind words. I’ve just run 15k earlier today in 1:34:54, while testing a Libre 2 CGM and training for a 1/2 marathon in October. With a knee injury from about mid May to end of July , I thought I was going to have to cancel it, but it might just still be...

5.3 at 0645. Headed out of the door for a run and did 15k, wanted to see what the Libre logged while running. An Initial spike to about 7.0 and then a drop to 4.1 gradually over the next hour. All fasting, deliberately did not eat until I got back, but even then just a protein shake. Had a...

78.6kg on 27/8. A bit higher than my lowest weight but still where I need to be roughly. Aiming to lose about 1kg per week for next 3-4 weeks and stay there then for a while.

Still can’t really feel it, which is great. I didn’t trust myself not to knock it off, so I’ve covered it with a plaster designed for the purpose bought off Amazon, felt like it pushed it in a bit as I could feel it for about 5 minutes after that. Readings are 0.6-1.0 below comparable finger...

5.8 this morning at 0645. Started using a Libre 2 for first time yesterday, so I can track BG trends while running, really surprised for the size of what looks like the needle in the applicator , I didn’t feel it go in at all , now assume that the needle looking thing is just a guide and the...

It certainly seems a bit inaccurate at the moment, I think the trends are probably correct but the raw values are out by about 1-1.15 mmol/l at the moment.

I am sure this has been done before , so if it’s not relevant or already covered elsewhere I won’t carry it on. I’ve just applied a Libre 2 for the first time today. At first it’s quite daunting if you look at the needle built into the sensor, I put it down and decided not to bother. Then I...

5.4 at 0840 this morning.

5.3 at 0830 today.
