Yes, I had the same. Not sustainable as it messes all averages up so badly. It's a real shame you can't 'correct' or calibrate the Libre software because that has the inside track to all calibrations that haven't been reverse-engineered yet. They may never be because the Libre2 sensor has...

It did! CroaK, gAsp.

Disastrous shopping trip... Suffice to say, I forgot the eggs and bacon and my cash card and badly kerbed my near frontside wheel. But now tucking in to 1/2lb of rump steak, rare in butter with 2 lambs kidneys. Brie for breakfast. Prawns (US shrimp) for dessert with creamy coffee. Don't shop...

@Bluttit1802 Thanks for this link! :) Ooer! Risk 25% should be less than 5%. Qrisk% - apparently 80 !!! SO glad I found here!

I was surprised when I did an isolated food BG response test with raspberries from the market (note - these were Moroccan bought in mid-winter in UK - they weren't super sweet or overripe) 125g plus 8 tsps ~40ml double cream doesn't hardly raise my own BG at any time of day. This is in contrast...

Welcome! I will leave advice to those with experience, and there are many, many helpful ones here.

@malky39 This is bit more of a "manual' for another transmitter/sensor but has useful info. If you go up a level page-wise, you get some other info regarding Libre 1 & 2. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/xdrip.html

https://www.diabettech.com/freestylelibre/turning-freestyle-libre-into-cgm-early-observations/ Article from December 2018 confirming this hypothesis. A more comprehensive study here (very techy-went way over my head)...

Found a thread online dissing the xdrip Libre interface. 'The Libre sensor has the added difficulty that it autocalibrates itself rendering the slope determined by xDrip outdated.' In my case it was a massive step change in the raw data the xdrip was receiving no matter what the type of...

Fast over but didn't get to the real butchers today so nothing in other than frozen chicken livers and brie. Bacon & steak it'll have to be tomorrow. :D

Jockeys use drinking champagne to keep their weight down.

I find the urge to snack when eating low carb is due to one of the following for me, in no particular order 1) too little fat on my vegetables 2) some sugar in my food 3) stewed meat rather than say grilled or fried 4) too little fat 5) psychological - eg regular person's meal time if only...

@malky39 Found a weirdo in the data xdrip2 was giving too. I broke my fast after 74 hrs with some zero carb brie cheese. According to Libreview, this made my BG rise from 4.1via 3.8 to around 5.0 at 2 hrs with another trough and peak at 4.9 2hrs another 2hrs after that. Xdrip2 shows a smooth...

Yuck! But it's a natural product so to be expected. Had a friend who worked for Hartley's jam once. Stories put me right off.

Bah humbug! Libre has been saying between 4.2 & 6.6 all day. When I started the xDrip+ and got to the calibration screen it was 5.3 at around 12pm and my Tee2+ gave 7.4 X 2. Now I recheck and, although the xDrip+ has been chugging along flatish, my Tee2+ decides to read 4.9/5.4/5.1. I hope it's...

Thanks. Found it and am now up and 'walking' :)

I wonder if anyone knows if xDrip2 uses a time offset for calibration values or do I have to do that myself? I mean wait 10-15mins after taking blood reading to input?

Nope :) I just avoid vegetable oils (easier said than done), man-made trans fats (obviously), spreadable butter and the like that contain vegetable oil's. I'm not a fan of olive oil but that's on my ok list along with coconut oil. No poly-unsaturated fats where possible or man-made hydrogenated...

@malky39 Up and running with xDrip+ now after a few challenges with my twilight app. So many settings! And after fasting for two and a half days my BG is 7.4 :( Better than the Libre app that was showing 5.3. I'll let it run for a while...

@Andybuff2000 For me, carbs give me the munchies. If I want to snack in between meals (I generally eat once, maybe twice, a day) I know I have underdone either the fat or the protein or overdone the carbs. My first goto on snacking is to drink tea, coffee or water. If that doesn't work (and it...
