Just thought I'd weigh in on how I am personally am extremely fortunate especially when it comes to the Libre as someone not originally from the UK and still regularly visit my home town and keep using the healthcare system there because that's where I was diagnosed and that's where I spent the...

I don't know about Type 2 but for me as a Type 1 there are absolutely no problems with alcohol provided I just check my blood sugar, you may want to look up the content of your favoured drinks as it varies a great deal in sugar content.

Speaking for myself the symptoms aren't always the same and are in some cases easy to ignore or not notice, sometimes my vision goes blurry, sometimes my heart rate increases, sometimes I lose my motor skills, sometimes I feel twitching in some muscles. Before I got my Libre, I would regularly...

Salt is definitely consumed heavily there, whether it's the direct cause to the high(er?) amount of high blood pressure etc I don't know. Salty liquorice is made from a different type of salt, ammonium chloride rather than natrium/sodium chloride, I have absolutely no idea whether that affects...

Yeah the idea is to be able to detect changes in the body over time, since at least in my experience it changes over time so that what used to require 4 units will now require 5 units for the same effect etc, well you get the idea. Let's see if it actually works as intended before we get all...

I have yet to meet any non-Swedes that didn't hate it when I've encouraged them to try my delicious Djungelvrål, majority of them have spit it out within a seconds. There is also plenty of video evidence on Youtube of people just not getting it.

As far as I can tell it's using a different algorithm from the one that should be the most accurate according to my literary review when it comes to predicting, but I haven't tested it on myself yet so I can't speak for how accurate either of them are at this point. There is also the case of...

How's the taste compared to the normal stuff? In my experience trying out sugar free sweets they tend to be pretty bland.

xDrip popped up when I looked at apps to scan sensors but did not know it could make predictions as well, I'll have a look and see how it works, on first look there's a lot of code and files so it's gonna take some time but it definitely looks interesting. How accurate do you find the results?

It's definitely impossible as of today to get 100% accurate results due to immeasurable data required(i.e mental state and the like), getting accurate enough results for daily use much like Google Maps is definitely possible though if the data is detailed enough, meaning correct nutritional data...

The single biggest thing I miss from my home country, and more specifically proper liquorice rather than the nonsense sold over here with the exception of TotallySwedish and IKEA which are both in inconvenient locations for me to get to on a regular basis. I'm guilty of ordering large sums of it...

I'm currently working on a tool that if it works as intended will not only do readings for you and take notes of your injections and what you consume, it'll also return a predicted blood glucose graph for the next few hours based on your data. If I can get it to work, it won't be that functional...

I don't generally talk about myself at all unless specifically asked nor do I care what people think of me, so I give myself injections in public without a care in the world and find it quite enjoyable when people give me that look of what the hell is he doing. I've worn a wristband stating that...

I royally screwed up a lunch injection and managed to knock myself out in the middle of a lecture last year, did the whole falling off my chair thing and gave people quite the scare heh. I have since got a Libre though and my management has vastly improved, but I still require the odd injection...

I find that it amplifies my normally grumpy and generally unpleasant personality to a ticking time bomb when it comes to outbursts or short and simple annoyed answers without any thought behind it when my blood sugar goes too low or high. The people that actually know me well can tell the cause...

No worries. ;) Quite right in general, once you find a routine that seems to work great, it only works for a while until you find yourself back to square one or worse. In my experience particularly injection schedules and eating habits are forced to change within a year or so after discovering...

I've been a Type 1 for almost 15 years(I'm 28 years old) and I honestly can't remember when my sleep problems started, I was once prescribed sleeping pills(don't remember the name of them) but found them to be pretty useless, similarly exhausting my body through exercise has had very little...

I haven't slept well in consecutive nights in I don't know how many years, I would guess at least 10, so I'm probably not the most qualified to answer but in my experience going to bed with(or it rising while sleeping) high blood sugar levels affects your sleep quality, and the same thing in the...
