    Worried about ketoacidosis

    @Winnie53 No, I don't think so.Thanks for the pointer though. I thought I did for many years. Perhaps I really did in my twenties but without a time-machine I'll never know : ) I just have been able to correlate the neck pounding to my 3am wakes which my Libre shows are due to a slowly...

    Weird start to New Year

    @Winnie-the-Pooh Thanks. I'm Self-funded :). On your recommendation I went to the Dexcom website which is very clear about pricing for kits and subscription service but not individual sensors. Immediately after, they also provided a visual link to the Type1 YouTuber who reviews diabetic tech...

    Anyone else get muscle twitching?

    Great save. Think about covering the MM or replacing the skin sticker. I think I weakened mine the day before I completely wrecked my Libre.

    Symptoms but all tests normal

    Good news that you had found a useful correlation! I have decided to move forward on the following basis - low carb and TRE (generally OMAD or TMAD) to reduce ongoing damage, periodic fasting period, 48 - 96 hrs to promote autophagy and healing.
