    I'm finding this way too difficult again right now

    Thank you for the reply. Prepping meals in advance sounds like a good way to do it. Honestly I just wish I could make the decision making out of it when it comes to eat. Just have something ready to eat to go, but something that isn't the same thing for 4 days in a row. Trying to figure out...

    I'm finding this way too difficult again right now

    I seem to keep cycling through 3 phases, lasting about a week (or less) at a time.. First phase.. I start feeling hopeful that I can control this and will be able to sort everything out..

    Can Libre2 readings "drift" out the longer you wear it?

    Does anyone know if it's common for readings from Libre2 to drift out from readings taken from a blood prick the longer you wear it? Basically - In the first week-ish of me wearing mine I was checking my blood sugar readings by finger prick several times a day and comparing to the Libre. For...

    I need help understanding my readings / getting stuff off my chest

    Thank you! This is Day 3 of strict diet, exercising and I've recorded a 5.6mmo/L reading this evening a few hours after eating and after a 2KM walk! I'm feeling very happy with that. I was starting to get convinced I'd never see numbers below 8mmo/L again.. I also noticed my normal morning...

    I need help understanding my readings / getting stuff off my chest

    Ach. Now I'm confused. I know there's meant to be a bit of a lag between Libre Readings and finger-prick, but over the past day I've been checking via finger prick it has been consistently 1.5mmo/L lower than the Libre. For example - According to the graph on my Libre I've not gone below...

    I need help understanding my readings / getting stuff off my chest

    Thank you for your replies, it is much appreciated. Exactly this. :( This is how I've been with my life with everything - never been able to find consistent balance -everything is always 100 miles an hour or at a complete stand still! Funnily enough.. I love having egg and bacon for...

    I need help understanding my readings / getting stuff off my chest

    Hi All. I'm not entirely sure when I was diagnosed - I think I was pre-diabetic for maybe the past 5-7 years? but I would often go through periods where I'd shed all my weight and keep up with exercising and I'd be back down to normal levels.. I think it was sometime in late 2020~ I was above...
