That could be a small drop, or a margin of error. It's over an hour now, and the novorapid seems to have eaten all that sugar you gave it, let's hope the beast is tamed by that, and it stays reasonably stable.

Is that a more recent blood test? in that case it seems to be holding steady. You've got what I call a cushion of carbs going through the system, so if you test frequently, and if it does seem to be dropping rapidly, you should be able to get it under control reasonably easily, as you already...

That all sounds very sensible, hopefully it will be ok. Let us know how it goes.

Sorry to hear that. You seem to have taken enough carbs to cover the 11 units. So hopefully it will be alright. If you took it about 6am, the Novorapid will be gone by mid morning. But before that, the most likely thing is your sugar level will peak, then the novorapid will peak, and you might...

There are only 4 days left on my current libre sensor, that went quickly. Has libre speeded up time, and made it go faster? Is the time between sensors now the correct measurement of time?

Morning everyone. Have a lovely day @Knikki and Mrs Knikki. Blood sugar followed usual pattern last night, went a little bit too low, had to correct, went a little bit too high, had to correct, woke up somewhere in the middle. Which is ok, but............. Had some overnight oats for...

The only criteria for freestyle libre, really, ought to be that it is reasonable to expect that using it will improve the ability of the person with diabetes to manage it, better than they were before. Should someone be excluded if they only test 7 times a day, and haven't been in hospital...

It was very windy, but I went anyway. My hat blew off, I caught it though, but had to do the rest of walk without it.

Morning everyone, Happy birthday @Fairygodmother have a good day. Yesterday I decided to go for a much longer than usual walk, which was great, it worked beautifully, as I ate a cereal bar before I left, and stopped off after about 20 minutes fast walking, in John Lewis, to let my blood sugar...

Oh yes, you're getting married tomorrow! Congratulations, I'm sure it'll all go very well, but I'll wish you luck anyway.

I wouldn't do what you suggest here, but sometimes I'll stack, if I do a first correction, and I look again half and hour later, and my blood sugar has carried on rising, but at a faster rate than I expected, and I realise that the amount of insulin I had assumed would be enough wouldn't be...

Morning everyone, @SueJB raises an interesting question about staying motivated, once we're in maintenance mood, rather than target chasing. Though that is a very good HbA1c, and one to be proud of. Overnight wasn't great, but it wasn't the end of the world either, just some sort of middling...

Morning all, Went hypoey at about 5 am, which woke me up, this is better than midnight, but I would have liked more sleep. Over corrected the hypo, but it's all now back in range.

You got an HbA1c of 59 then? much better than the guesstimate by the doctor. Well done. All that effort has been worth it then, after all.

Curiousity got the better of me. I googled, It could be a brand, though I quite like the idea of it being a Yorkshire specific term for a particular type of mince. But I couldn't find any evidence of that, not that that means it isn't.

Morning everyone. My blood sugar yesterday, was terrible, but fortunately you didn't get to hear about it. Today is nice and stable. Congratulations @Juicyj for completing the run, and @Cumberland for winning against the bad diabetes gremlin. Enjoy your last week of work before your holiday...

Well done. That 12.7 start wasn't so bad then, maybe this morning it was the good diabetes gremlin helping you, rather than the bad one making life difficult. :)

Unfortunately, there's no information on time scale on the graph, which is a shame, but I saw it on twitter the other day, and thought it provided useful perspective.

This is a difficult issue, because it would be wrong not to warn people with T1D about the serious risks of complications, but on the other hand, making people worried, and anxious, isn't a good thing. There is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence about people reversing complications, when they...

A lot of people think their singing sounds worse than it really does.
