Mm good full fat Greek yoghurt works best for me. With berries of some kind and a touch of sweetener...

Ugh just when I think I've got this it all goes haywire. . Just looking for reassurance it's not just me lol.... Usually it goes high through stress but apparently it's gonna go low this time. Just to keep me on my toes!!!! 31 years in and still learning..... [Mod radio edit.]

Did you ask or was it done automatically? Wondering if I should call, live in Leeds and they are pretty good at diabetes xare locally so feeling quite hopeful [emoji4]

Could it be down to the colder weather? Sounds daft but I always seem to need less insulin when it's hot so is it feasible the reverse is true? Hope you get it figured out!! X

Love the honesty from everyone ha ha. I can't actually remember the last time I changed mine. I've been on a cgm for 18 months so only use it for midnight hypos really but still I reckon it's gotta be nearly a year [emoji2957]

Hmm I'm not sure as it drops quick and my stomach is slow. Could maybe try a back up digestive after the jelly babies tho actually... [emoji4]

I'd say a normal day I manage 40-60% in target if I'm totally honest!

Thanks guys. And yeah that's a really good day don't be fooled ha ha. Yes I do tend to catch it with my jelly babies before it goes below 4.5 during the day but still had lots of hypos lately cos I've been trying to get my hba2c down a bit. It's currently at 63 and doc said he'd like it in the...

Hi. I am type 1 and am 30 years in now. Been using the libre for 18 months and it's really great for me. I just wanted to post what is actually a really good day for me if you ignore the spike from yesterday.... My question is, is it normal to zigzag as much as my levels ALWAYS do? Seems...

Thanks I will check it out! No miaomiao unfortunately as I can't really afford it at the moment tho.... [emoji106][emoji4] X

Just jumping on to ask for any recommendations for Android apps that work with libre? Thanks x

Oh and he was put put on these as Metformin didn't agree with him and they said these would also help him lose weight as he is quite overweight.

Hi sorry I wasn't very clear. He's not newly diagnosed, he just had a review today and was told he should be taking them twice a day not once as he had been taking them previously.

Hi thanks guys. I'm not sure why the morning dose but hba1c was 66 so i assume they want him to take two doses ie morning and evening to help bring that down. If there is a risk of hypo I reckon best to wait and take it when he does eat but will def check with pharmacist too. Thanks xx

Hi. My hubby is type 2 and being a type 1 I'm unfamiliar with his meds. Can anyone tell me if it's absolutely necessary to take gliclazide with food or not? The reason being that he finds it very difficult to eat breakfast but has been told he must take one first thing in the morning. He usually...

Hey has anyone had multiple sensors replaced? I've had 2 already in 2 months but then have lost 2 more. I'm wary and feel like if I call again they may say it's just not working for me and I really don't want to go back to finger pricks and guessing if it's going up or down as I am really...

No I haven't but I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say! Thanks B-)

Thanks will try that out for next class. Is this something worth ringing them for a replacement? I get them on prescription so wasn't sure if they would? B-)

Can anyone suggest best thing to stop it coming unstuck through moisture? I don't usually have any issues on a day to day basis but have now lost 2 after a very sweaty exercise class! [emoji38] Sorry gross I know but a girl's gotta try lose a few pounds lol!! Tia x

Hi looking for some advice. I've been using the libre for a few months now and so far am loving it. So far I have lost 2 sensors due to exercise and getting so sweaty the sticky stuff has failed and come away. Has anyone got anything they can recommend as I don't want this to keep happening but...
