I think this is likely to exclude/reduce logging of compression lows, i.e lying on the sensor while asleep which gives an artificially low value. You diabetes team will likely be able to see the full time history of the sensor, and tbh are more likely to be concerned about total time hypo (and...

I use Abasaglar, good idea with the pill organiser. I thought my paper in the pen-case with biro was pretty much foolproof, and I guess one error in (I guess?!) 10y isn't a terrible rate. The main problem I'd have with the pill organiser approach is that if I travel, it would be either a faff or...

I should chip in and say that aside from a hiccup last night (which was about 15h after putting a new sensor on) the Dexcom One+ is pretty spot on where the Libre2+ would be so far out as to be unusable. The sensor which was out last night is now reading accurately again after a 6h long hiccup...

It might amuse you to hear that I've managed to take, not the wrong insulin, but double the dose of my basal last night (for the first time ever while on MDI.) Or at least I think I did - I have a piece of paper and biro in the pen case with my abasaglar and I always tick the day to say I've...

@grantg, I can see your concern about ketones in the case of not taking insulin (and therefore not knowing how much/whether you have any on board if your body has decided to not produce any on a given day.) I think that guidance is very conservative for those who do take insulin (see my...

I've not used Apple, but I'd be surprised if it's actually easier than the single Garmin step that is required - once data is available in XDrip+ it's just a case of installing a watchface/datafield (via the Garmin Connect app) and the data is provided on the Garmin device. There's no need for a...

You're very probably right, I've not looked very hard, but I'd be surprised if there weren't a way to do it (though it may be hacky) What CGM do you use @alohanicky2009 ?

I don't have a pump but do use XDrip+ and have a Garmin Fenix and bike headunit, both of which can show my data. Perhaps this links will provide a pointer?: (perhaps this too: https://github.com/benceszasz/xDripCareLinkFollower)

No worries @onnecar, I'm glad it all worked out! :)

How did you get on in the end? How was last night?

Is it Humulin I? Sorry I missed the mention of humulin and assumed, having seen mention of novorapid, that it would be one of the longer/flatter basals. My apologies! If so, as it's peakier and shorter acting than more standard (for me as a type 1 basals), you may not have such problems...

You might still need a bit of novorapid depending on what you're eating, but I'd be very sparing (and be tempted to err on the side of running high until you work out how much effect the extra insulin will have). The biggest issue you may have is overnight as you'll likely tend to trend low...

Yes, this is quite normal - illness/reaction to vaccines will produce stress hormones which will cause your liver to produce more glucose from stored glycogen. Confusingly, as with all things diabetes-related, you (or at least I) can alternatively run low - I tend to run low the day before I...

I'm just about to start day 10 of my first Dexcom One+ and it's so much better than the last year's worth of Libre2/2+. It's obviously a very small sample size I'm comparing against the libres, but certainly the accuracy of the Dexcom One+ has remained very good over the sensor life while it...

The Dexcom provides lower frequency data (1 reading per 5min, vs the libre 1 reading per minute), but the fact that it's actually about the correct value (as judged by numerous finger prick tests) means I'm not overly bothered about the reduced frequency. I'm not running a Dexcom One+ and...

It's an interesting question to which we don't have an answer - the manufacturers will have had to run tests looking at efficacy vs cumulative temperature exposure (both the temperature and the duration) though whether any of that data is available to the rest of us I don't know, I've never...

I've moved to the Dexcom one+ after many problems (calibration, drop-outs) with the libre (more info in one of the sig links below.) It certainly appears to be decently accurate (I'm now ~7 days in and it's still working fine without calibration, while the libre2+ would diverge after about 2...

I have one, it syncs with XDrip+, seems to work fine, though it's a shame they don't provide a better case for it all.

It will be kept refrigerated when delivered, while you can leave it out of the fridge for a month (and probably quite a lot longer these days in truth), it's probably best to keep it as close to fridge temperatures as you can if you want to store it until its use-by date (and for it to retain...

Accu-Chek Instant, merely because I wanted a spare meter, they no longer made the one I had previously (Contour Next Plus), and the GP surgery has stock of the Accu-Chek ones. The only thing I was looking for (aside from something that is available!) was that it had Bluetooth and could talk to...
