    Freestyle Libre Readings Innacurate by 17mmols from blood readings - Help?

    Definitely sounds like a bad sensor. Mine is always inaccurate, but is consistent in its inaccuracy if that makes sense. At the lower end it's always about 20 points below reality (I use US mg/dL units), but at the higher end it's much closer to accurate. In the US we can't use the app for the...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    6.6 this morning after getting up. CGM said 4.9 when I first woke up but I don't think that was near correct.

    Problem removing sticky residue after removing freestyle libre2

    Because I don't switch arms between sensors, I don't really want to put oil on my arm in case it gets onto the patch where the new sensor is going and messes with that one's glue. So I just let the glue get dry and then in my next shower it comes off pretty well with shampoo and an exfoliating...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Ugh, 7.2 this morning. I ordered delivery last night and got someone else's order. I attempted to eat around the bad stuff but was unsuccessful. Big spike.

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I live in the US, so I don't know if these are available where you live, but a couple that I've used that don't spike my glucose are: - Kiss My Keto https://www.kissmyketo.com/products/keto-bread - Aunt Millie's Live Carb Smart - http://products.auntmillies.com/product/588

    Lancets - with Home Health Gluco Navii

    As others have said the lancets are made to go with specific lancing devices. There is at least one brand (pip) that doesn't use a device - the spring is built into each lancet. But the lancets/lancing devices are totally independent from the meter and testing strips.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    6.0 this morning. That's 108 in typical US units - haven't been able to crack that 100 mark for a bit.

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    Breakfast: omelette with eggs and cheddar cheese Lunch: cheese, tomato, and a small but very ripe peach (I know, but I haven't had a good peach in ages!) Dinner: pork chop, mushrooms, zucchini

    Change from Libre 1 to 2 or not?

    I know most folks are in the UK but I thought I'd mention for anyone reading this thread from the United States that the Libre2 app is still not approved by the FDA, so in the USA you must still use the Libre2 reader device which is a consideration if you're self-funding.

    T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

    Oh my goodness your dinner sounds amazing. If you could share the fish stew or point to a recipe online I would love to see that.

    Trulicity

    I've been on it for a while and I have not had a lot of side effects. The first time I used it I was a little gassy but it was nothing compared to starting Metformin back in the day. I sometimes - but not always - get an itchy patch around the injection site. My doctor has seen it and isn't...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.9 on the poke-o-meter and 4.3 on the CGM. Haven't poked in a few days, just wanted to confirm that the CGM is still wrong in the same direction... :)
