I use a regaderm patch over mine, mostly because I swim for an hour at a time and it keeps it waterproof, but it has the added benefit of keeping the sensor firmly in place. I get my tegaderm on Amazon.

Porridge and oats are carbs, and as such generally not good for type 2 diabetics. Try bacon and eggs, or plain Greek yogurt with a few berries and see what that does.

Without a blood glucose check you don’t know your actual level. It is quite possible that the “lows” showing on your graph are actually low normal. an OGTT will only be anywhere near accurate if you test your blood while doing it, not using the libre.

Pleased you got it to work. Remember if the libre does alert you to a high or low to check with your meter, it is different for everyone but may not be totally accurate. Mine can be between one and two points out at high and how levels.

Yes, there should be a noise as well. If you tell us what type of phone you have someone might be able to help with the settings you need.

I managed to get some around a month ago. They are very nice and don’t spike my blood sugar.

Diabox is another app which can read and present data from the libre 2. It provides a current and continuous readout via blootooth, but you still need to be able to scan the sensor using The usual method to initially connect it.

I’m going to get a swede and butternut squash this week and some cauliflower, cook it all up, mash, season and freeze in portions. That way it’s easy just to defrost and heat in the oven to go with winter meals or top any pie filling.

I tried a cottage pie with a mix of mashed swede and butternut squash (mashed with plenty of butter, and cheese on top) last week and it was very tasty. Lower carbs, but still carbs in it of course.

i guess if it’s consistently the same discrepency you would learn to adjust for that. But must be awkward to do. I use diabox which allows me to calibrate mine to get a result very close to blood glucose.

My libre always shows a lower reading than blood glucose by between one and two points. Therefore if you look at my graph overnight it usually shows a red line and a reading of 2.8. But if I check my blood glucose with my meter it will be around 4.2 to 4.5…….in the normal range. the libre is...

Found this thread and I just wanted to check. I’m travelling to lanzarote in feb which will be my first time wearing a libre and carrying a spare in my hand luggage. It ut okfor both me and my spare to go through the airport scanner?

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I use the libre2 with the libre app, and running alongside it I use diabox calibrated to give me a better correlation to blood sugar readings. this morning after 6 days of use my libre app came up with an error message saying the sensor isn’t...

I find it really interesting to see other profiles. I’m a work in progress, the higher readings on mine were when I was away in an hotel last week. My predicted GMI from libreview is 6%.

I’ve been using them since March and in that time I have had quite a lot fail before 14 days, around 8 have failed early, and three have fallen off. Each time they have been replaced without question by Abbott. Right now the last two have lasted the full 14 days, and my current one is on day 9.

From my iPhone data automatically transfers up to libreview. If you log on the libreview in the top left you will see a picture of the reader and next to it a little rectangle which looks like a small graph. Click on that and you will see the uploaded data.

I use an iPhone 11 Pro which works well.
