    Does the Freestyle Libre continuous monitoring work for type 2

    Some people on the net report it is more accurate when used with xDrip if you DON'T bed it in. Not tried that myself

    Listerine

    I got a black/brown colouration and didn't want to scruff the enamel away any more than needed. It doesn't affect some people but I much prefer the non toxic coconut oil.

    Does the Freestyle Libre continuous monitoring work for type 2

    I waited 48hrs before activation and mine has 7 low events over 14 days wit one day showing 3. I think there is an element of personal response and particular placement variability, too.

    Potatoes : cause a huge spike for me which will last for hours , and mess up my BG for a day or two.

    @Debandez Really useful info graphic. But, <haha> on the NICE guideline at the bottom, my doctor doesn't even want to discuss my health let alone changes to my diet. Blame the patient again when we don't bother.

    Listerine

    Start with 1tsp and 5 min. Takes a while to pop up the gumption but worth it in the end. Nothing unpleasant about it at all once you might the bullet.

    Carnivore Corner

    Coffee & cream. Cooked ham, uncooked ham, lemon prawns, mackerel and cheese. Not hungry enough and worried I'm not getting enough nutrients if I continue. Maybe more liver :)

    Carnivore Corner

    Got a very minor cut on my middle finger first knuckle at the weekend~1.5mm and not deep . Brand new boning knife for my fish - gad it's sharp. I knocked it getting into the car this morning and it's still bleeding freely. I'm pretty sure my K2 levels are OK. Has anyone any suggestions? I'm...

    Potatoes : cause a huge spike for me which will last for hours , and mess up my BG for a day or two.

    Off the wall thought. Perhaps its due to inflammation or genetic or epigenetic reaction. Do you also react badly to tomatoes and other foods of South American origin?

    Any advice following GP refusal to do oral glucose tolerance test

    Along with others I don't worry about cholesterol. When we were told to avoid it in food, I'd always believed that your body made extra if you didn't eat it to patch up damage. Not quite true but true enough not to worry about what extra cholesterol I ate. There are some good YouTube videos with...

    Any advice following GP refusal to do oral glucose tolerance test

    Mine refused as well. Would not engage in any conversatile except to say the HbA1c was the gold standard and I could have that repeatedly about every 3 months. I think perhaps cost and the local Clinical Commissioning Group may be an influence as the test is expensive. There's a thread from 2011...

    Libre supply issues !

    On another thread they mentioned a distribution warehouse in Watford got flooded and probably caused the supply issue.

    Listerine

    Yes. :) I know it's a bit weird but I have suffered from bad plaque all my life. My dentist thought it was weird too. He actually recommended it, after trying it for himself, to a patient, who, for various legitimate reasons would not clean their teeth. He had to knock them out at 3-monthly...

    Listerine

    My dentist decribed removing my Corsodyl staining as cleaning the Berlin Wall with a toothbrush. He wasn't impressed with my bodies reaction to it. I now swill with coconut or sesame oil.

    HbBA1C jumped from 42 to 69. Not responding to low carb diet.

    I think you need more help than an online forum can give. Does your GP have a programme for carers?

    HbBA1C jumped from 42 to 69. Not responding to low carb diet.

    Often, people want to feel like their making their own decisions and what one side thinks of as helpful advice is viewed as 'orders' or 'railroading' by the other and there is resistance. Perhaps lead by example and don't say another word until he's so curious he's busting to ask and then resist...
