    Please don’t shoot me, I can’t help it

    that’s a brilliant idea. I’m doing chicken Caesar salad tomorrow and will replace the croutons with cheesies. they also do some chilli cheesies which are lovely.

    Please don’t shoot me, I can’t help it

    Nothing todo with sweet stuff but someone on here suggested cheesies as a replacement for crisps. They are made with just cheese, baked and popped somehow to make crispy cubes. They taste really nice and are a good carb free alternative to crisps. You can buy them in Holland and Barrett or...

    Freestyle libre sensors falling off

    I use tegaderm over mine to keep it on and make it more waterproof. That usually lasts the two weeks although I sometimes have to use a second tegaderm in the second week if ive been doing loads of swimming. I did lose one sensor in the very hot weather which came off 4 days early.

    I’m no expert as I avoid these things. But how about two slices of toast and jam, or porridge……or even both!

    Libre 2 setting alarms at night

    It should work if you turn the wifi off, but leave the Bluetooth on. So don’t use airplane mode which turns both off.

    Quick lunch?

    These Keto scone style buns taste good, are easy to make and I fill them with my usual sandwich fillings. especially nice with Philadelphia and tomato. I double up on the recipe make them a bit bigger and freeze half. Don’t be put off by them being called biscuits, it’s an American term for...

    Was I naughty?

    That increase is only 2.1 up and within an error margin for testing, plus still well within a safe zone. I’d be inclined to say it’s ok but personally I would keep it for an occasional treat.

    Type 2 UK 91 yo T2 eye test protocol?

    I’m guessing that the first hospital appointment was his routine retinopathy scan, and the second the result of a referral from his optician to investigate something they saw at his eye test. Likely to be two different departments, and very likely the team that do retinopathy scanning were not...

    Yes, in settings then I looked at Bluetooth and on an iPhone underneath there is a list of things I am connected to by Bluetooth (for example my watch) this list includes Abbott. do you have anything else you can connect to Bluetooth which will prove your phone Bluetooth is working?

    Hospital stay

    How about taking some keto bars, or low carb granola for breakfast? I would definitely take some packets of nuts and pork scratchings, some of the small tubs of ready to eat tuna, take your own low carb bread at least you can make a tuna sandwich.

    Libre 2 alarms

    The alarms work through Bluetooth, the scanning is nfc. Which suggests that it’s something to do with your Bluetooth or notifications settings to me. I don’t use android so I can’t be sure, but have a look where you found it saying notifications in use, try clicking on that and see if you get a...

    Notification when in use, I wonder if that could just mean when your phone is in use, ie not when it is sleeping. Definitely worth changing to always.

    On an iPhone I go to settings scroll down the list of apps to libre link, click on that and then I can enable or disable Bluetooth.

    I don’t have a Samsung, but on my iPhone in settings there is a setting for notifications. You could have a look and if you have similar make sure you have notifications enabled for libre link. Also I assume you have allowed your libre to connect to Bluetooth? instead of using Miao you could...
