Yes I did @azure. Only 5mins this time before my evening meal but I'll have to play around with the timing to see what works for me! Thanks for the tip [emoji4]

So 7 days since starting the wonderful freestyle libre and seeing my graphs has led me to the decision I have no choice but to try lchf. My spikes are horrendous. My graphs are far from in range. I'm going to aim for lower carb (low for me personally) to begin with 100g ish. I'm terrified as I...

Thank you @Snapsy and @delmcp

Sure that's perfect! Thanks @noblehead just what I was looking for xx

Would anyone that uses pen and paper to record there bg's care to share their layout? I've had mySugr app and I've the libre logbook but I'd really prefer to keep it in a notebook.

...love at first sight for Ice and the lady penguin named Cream. They spent lots of time waking around the magical world and stopping to kiss under all the hanging mistletoe. Ice, cream and their reindeer friends then...

Try Beyond Dark Chocolate Drops. They are amazing and 10g carbs for the 35g bag which for me would be 2 servings so 5g each serving. They really suit my sweet tooth. I found them in Holland and Barrett. Chocologic also do fairly low carb chocolate but not just as tasty. They are sold in Tesco

Thanks so much @azure that's brilliant. I'll try that tomo morn [emoji4]

No never @azure but I've seen a lot of you guys mention it here so I'll definitely look into it more xx

What does every one consider an acceptable 1 and 2 hour post meal spike? Since having the freestyle libre I'm shocked at how I spike after certain foods. For example I was 7.5 before breakfast had 30g carbs 1 hour post 10.9 2 hours post 13.9 4 hours post 7.9 So although I came back after 4...

Thank you lovely xx @azure

Yes I thought that @Diabell I'm not sure if my bg is high because of the cystitis or if the high bg caused it. Either way I'm high lol. Have been correcting all day hope to get on top of it before bedtime xx

Thanks @Resurgam it's not nice at all. So painfully uncomfortable.

@azure hot water bottle has helped so much thank you. I think I'll take a specimen first thing tomorrow. I'm feeling awful.

Any remedies for cystitis? I'm feeling so poorly with it. Bg's have been all over the place today..as high as 18.2 and as low as 2.8 [emoji29] I already drink 2-3litres of water a day. I've quite bad thrush also I'm wondering if this is linked?

Brilliant news! Best of luck xxx

@azure I take levimer and novorapid. I think I'm going to start with 20mins after breakfast and evening meal and see how I go. Thanks everyone [emoji4]

David are you on any medication to help with the depression? Or would you consider counselling? I too have been depressed and suicidal. It's not possible to control your diabetes until you get your mental health sorted. One small step at a time. Please feel free to message me at any time...

To be honest with you all my 6 diaversaries have passed without me realising! I might treat myself to a present on my 7th!

So I'm type 1 diagnosed 6 years ago. As I've said before I spent a long time in depression and abusing my body one way through binge eating. Long story short I was then this year diagnosed with insulin resistance as a result of this and put on Metformin 500mg breakfast and evening meal. I've...
