Everyone takes different amounts, some may be the same but it's frowned upon to give dose advice... I don't mind doing it alongside a statement saying proceed with caution etc... How much insulin did you take for the cereal...? We can work out the ratio frommthst dose and make suggestions....

That's what I was explaining earlier........the amount will be different for everyone.....however a safe place to start for an average adult is 1 unit per 10g, so for a 30g bowl of cereal, that's 3 units...... so you need to actively be using a ratio as this makes it easier to adjust up or...

yeah, I think we are all assuming that you have those basic techniques established........ how do you work out how much insulin to give with say a 30g portion of cereal....?

Ha ha.....oh well, I know you would have mentioned basal at some point.....lol

fortunately its not excessive testing to confirm or deny dawn phenomenon, a 3 am reading should suffice..... with the rise in level you have shown though it doesn't look like a significant liver response to the fasting but likely just the increased resistance we all have created from the other...

Well, it maybe real, I know experiments where being conducted with tech that could use different types of light to measure glucose levels...so the watch would fire through light and then record how much goes through to determine glucose.... don't know how far off they are or if its worth...

@porl69 makes a good point about the basal insulin....... any meaningful adjustment of your mealtime insulin is dependent on your long acting insulin being correct or as close to as correct as possible... you need more insulin and that's maybe obvious......getting the right adjustments in...

well, its a proper calculation you should be doing, using an insulin/carb ratio...... usually people will start on a ratio of 1 unit per 10g of carbs, and then go on to adjust that to suit their needs..... so how many carbs is in your portion of cereal....?

That's right, but not everyone, who uses Libre, is aware....;)

That my logic too.....so the arrows mean nothing, unless you're aware of IOB...:)

Are these arrows not meant to be really helpful for most people....?

If it keeps up like that then you need to adjust your ratio for your lunch....... timing could be an issue too......your meals may take longer to digest at that time of day so you need to play about with your bolus timing...

I would say it would definitely help you........the preparation before going on one though varies between person to person..... for example if you haven't had any knowledge and experience of adjusting your own doses on a multiple daily injection regime you are a long way off from making the...

I am sure you will be fine....[emoji6]

Why do they want so much information.....to see if you can get the Libre? Well done by the way....;)

Some people are going to have high expectations I suppose but just think about what the Libre actually excels in..... its patterns in glucose levels, not how accurate it is compared to an already inaccurate blood test..... its the patterns you see that then go on to influence other day to day...

What permission are you referring to? I wouldn't say getting up is totally necessary to be honest...unless it's spikes going up really high.... What were the spikes going up to..?...

Too many probably......lol.... Max 280, min 150...

I was 15 and had been exposed to type one diabetes all my life because my younger brother had it.... I don't actually remember a doctor telling me face to face in hospital that I had diabetes, it was just assumed silently which I find strange....it wasn't a young child who couldn't handle...

So to confirm, the body scanner that you walk through [scanning for metal] is also not recommended.....? I went through that scanner with pump attached and that pump became faulty.....is it connected?
