I should add that nobody has said I can use beer to treat a hypo lol (that's just my wishful thinking). The opposite in fact. I've been advised to only have 1 beer a day (max. 2), with 2 days off a week, for other reasons

It's a pity it's 9 PM. I'd like to have a beer again but it's a bit late and I'm only allowed 1 a day so jelly beans it is. Just took my glargine even though I'm low (it never does anything to me much like novorapid does... edit: err, well it's never dropped me immediately before anyway. I...

It's set to go off at 5.5 (I increased it yesterday from 4.3 because when I drop, I drop fast). No alarms have gone off except for one just then (3.8, finger prick 3.5, I feel ok so am just eating jelly beans tog get it back up). I'm using the reader not the phone app this month because Abbot...

Where is this information from? My understanding is that glycogenesis can and does occur without the presence of insulin (although if you have high BSL and insulin it can happen that way as well). I'm thinking that the Cori Cycle has something to do with it but would like further information To...

Yesterday B: Eggs, 1 x beef sausage, tomato, toast L: Ham, tomato, black turtle beans, cheese, mixed leaves (mostly baby spinach), baby beetroot, 2 small pickled onions D: Home crumbed fish (very light on the crumbs), chips and salad (just lettuce, tomato and onion), 1 beer I know chips aren't...

I think you'll get used to it. I've been counting everything (not just carbs) I eat since 2017 and now it's second nature and doesn't take me long at all anymore. I don't weigh everything though because some things I've weighed so many times I know what x grams of such-and-such looks like and in...

4.7 today

4.2 again. Seems to be a pattern

I'm cured for sure. More beer

That apple on the graph was 3.0 units of novorapid and dinner (15 minutes later) of crumbed fish, chips and salad. I just dropped 30 minutes after injecting and eating. Wow. 7.9 is because I had a beer because I got annoyed when I saw the red line. I'll probably drop again tonight again because...

I'm ok, so what can I do but laugh? I'm ok but... NO ALARMS. That's not terribly low, for me, but it seems I was below 3.9 for about an hour.... I don't know if I'm reading these graphs right

I've just looked at my Libre2 graphs for the last 24 hours and I've been below 5.5 for the majority of the time except for after breakfast. I'm using the reader not Android because I got an email from Abbot. The "problem" is that the alarm went off about 1.5 hours after breakfast because I...

From the paper: "Overall, the target that people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes should aim for is TIR >70% (16 h 48 min/day)." I'm doing ok then! My TIR is > 95%. Now to just fix these hypos

I have lipohypertrophy in my thighs (from clexane injections, not insulin, so I don't inject insulin there). I'm very surprised your doctors have never heard of it. Every diabetes clinic I've been to has a big poster on the wall about it and my box of needles even mention it on the side of the box

What makes you suspect pancreatic issues? Have you had any pain? There are tests and scans your GP (ok, the GP can't do scans but they can order them) can do to rule out pancreas issues

For higher readings in the mornings, there's a thing called the "dawn phenomenon". Google that and it may provide some answers. I do know that, for me, the same amount of carbs I consume at breakfast cause a higher BSL peak compared to the same amount of carbs at lunch (even if it's the same...

Thanks! Oh, I think she probably is. I had a phone appointment today and am now on the lowest lantus dose possible. The only thing I'm worried about (sort of) is how my BSL will react to snacks. I had to turn my libre alarm off last night because it was going off every hour. I can probably have...

Oops, Android 13 not 14. But the sensor is paired with my reader not my phone this time. I am saying that I did not get an alarm this afternoon from my reader when it dropped below the threshold and I was previously well above it.

The Australian instruction leaflet says that you cannot. The Canadian leaflet says that you can. This is my point

My thoughts are that Abbot sent me an email saying that alarms were not working with Android 14 and to use the reader until a fix was ready. So I started the sensor with the reader, not my phone, because I recently updated to Android 14. The alarm did not go off from the reader, which the sensor...
