Mini 200ml cartons of orange juice that come in packs of 3. i take a pack with me everywhere.

Anyone remember the R'whites Secret Lemonade drinker? He was always a late night hypo fridge raider.

If my blood goes below 3 i get pulses of energy almost like little electric shocks in my arms and hands. i would imagine that if my blood was a lot lower the effect might be more pronounced and same ticking might happen as you described.

MORNING! Bed at 23:00 BG @ 7.4 Corrected with 3u NovoR and woke up 07:00 on 4.3 :) had to have 15g Carbs before breakfast to correct. Have a good day everyone.

@helensaramay thanks for the tips i am quite excited actually. I don't like the idea of having something stuck in me permanently, but if the pay off is learning more about how my BG work then its all good. They told me it would be shipped at the end of the month. so not too long to wait.

Thanks for your responses all. Impulsively i called up Dexcom just now and ordered a months Trail of the G6 for £150. thought that was an OK price. Am looking forward to the reams of data!

I want to trial a cgm product. Whenever i go on the freestyle libre site it says they are not taking on new customers. Has anyone else had problems obtaining a Freestyle libre?

a vodka diet coke, 2 regular glasses of wine, an espresso martini and a Bailey's.. and you're only a bit tipsy? I'd be tw***ted.:hungover:

I have suffered from short periods of depression in my teenage / early 20's and i understand it is a very difficult thing to pull yourself out of when you're are down low in the trench. I also never wanted to use any medications to deal with these problems as i felt using insulin was putting...

BG 5.7 @ 8:00 (overslept eek.) But i had to correct twice - 00:00 6 units NR & 04:00 5 units NR Thats 1u NR for every 0.5mmol by my calculations - seems a lot?

BG down to 3.0 at 12:45 so had a 15g correction. but @ 13:15 BG is 3.7 and now eating lunch (took 7 NR units at 12:15) happy ish with that. edited to add, Waitrose Greek Yoghurt (the 10% fat one) is proper lush

Allergic to BACON!!! Oh man i feel for you. :arghh:

just had a look at the promotional video for that, it's amazing what they can do with technology now. i'm thinking of doing a trial with Dexcom as i want lots of data without having to manually scan all the time.

sorry, what i mean is do you have to scan manually or do you have some sort of transmitter on the libre (a hack)?

@mountaintom @porl69 Are you guys manually testing with the Libre? or do you have some sort of transmitter?

Woke at 2:00am BG 12.6 took 6 units NR Got up at 7:00am BG 8.6 took 5 units NR (a little too much i think) BG 4.9 at 8.20 am > took 7 units NR & eating 50g carbs in 1 hour + having 20g carbs (OJ) Oh, and I'm already at my desk again:bookworm: .

@Mel dCP @London36_ Thank you. I'm going to eat a few very low carb meals and observe my BG's

Still at work. :( BG 4.9 - 4 hrs after NovoRapid :)

I would just like to say thank you to everyone who have offered their stories and insight. It is inspiring and also comforting. I'm halfway to being 40 years diabetic and the last 23 years have just flown by.
