I've now read the instruction leaflets from several countries. They're all different despite having the same behaviour as far as I can tell. E.g. not related, but the Australian leaflet says you cannot put a breathable patch over the sensor, the Canadian version says you can as long as you put...

The reply @AndBreathe has made me realise I made a mistake. I don't have what I described above for breakfast every single day, it just happened that I did today. And it does taste like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy. I think the drinking chocolate has Stevia in it rather than sugar but it...

I don't want dosage advice (I haven't even given my dose amount for that reason), but have you heard of any stories of people being on bolus only, without lantus? My dose is so low I'm starting to suspect I don't even need it at this point in time, just the novorapid. Yet another question to ask...

Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I guess that's where it gets my "time in range" value from as well Yeah, they're not compression lows. I didn't get up last night to do a finger prick, I can't even remember doing the scan but I obviously did. They've reduced my lantus but I'm still on it. I take it...

I'm setting an alarm for 2:45AM on my phone to have something to eat. Just looking through the graphs nearly every night at exactly 3AM I go low. So I'm going to eat at 2:45

I must have woken up because there is a dot at 3:45 (about) and checked. I don't remember waking up at all. I should have treated that I think but I just don't remember. As far as I know I slept all night but the graph says different

Screenshot from libreview. That grey line doesn't match my alarms at all. Is is what is Libre or someone else considers "normal"? 3AM low shows. Nearly every night at 3AM I drop below 4. Other than that it's nice and flat hahaha

I can confirm that the alarm on *my* reader does not seem to be working. I set the low glucose alarm to 5.5 My readings across the last two hours were 7.0, 6.7, 4.9. No alarm :/ I'm not hypo, so not confused, and the reader is sitting right next to me on my desk. Something seems to be wrong...

Thanks for confirming. That saves me some experimentation :) So, in future before going to sleep I will make sure I get myself above the alarm threshold. Yeah "high" was probably the wrong word. My DN nurse set it to 5 and that was fine for the first few days out of hospital when I was running...

4.2 again I'm 4.7 now 2 hours after a relatively high-carb breakfast. I peaked at 11.9 which is about what I expected. For the two days after they adjusted my doses in hospital I was sitting in the 6s and 7s. I started a new glargine pen a few days ago and also attached a new Libre sensor (it's...

A Magnum for breakfast! Nice :) For breakfast today I had fibre enriched "rice bubbles" (not that brand and not called that, but that's what they are) with a spoonfull of psyllium husk (this adds more fibre and slows down my BSL peak, but I mainly add it because I like how it makes the milk...

I got an email regarding Android 13 and problems with the app as well, so I'm using the reader this month instead of my phone. I had my "usual" 3 AM hypo last night and the alarm didn't go off. Either that or I somehow slept through it. The other potential reason I can think of is that my alarm...

I should add that if my libre says I'm in the 4's I generally do a finger prick to confirm. That libre graph I posted is pretty much spot on compared to countour next

I have orange juice and then honey toast (bread with honey once I'm above 5). If I don't get above 5 I simply panic :)

During the night if the Libre alarm goes off and I'm, 4.2 or lower I set an alarm reminder to check again in 15 minutes. If it hasn't gone up (compression low?) I drink orange or apple juice and set the reminder for another 15 minutes. Most of the ones at 2 or 3 AM are false alarms. Means I...

And all those 4 readings in the 3rd column are 250ml of orange juice. Barely raising it at all. We'll get there

This is what's not right. In hospital this didn't happen. We'll work it out on Tuesday. There is food at that 3U injection I just forgot to enter it. 7.8 to 3.2 is pretty silly. Edit: that was novorapid. Lantus was at about 9:30PM... maybe I should have skipped lantus but that's something I have...

Adding: 4.2 is WAY too low for me. My DN wants my "baseline" (before bolus) to be in the sixes, mostly because if I go 4 I will drop into the 3s or 2s really fast. Plus she wants me to become hypo aware which currently I'm not really aware of at all. I'm 6.3 at them moment which seems like a...

Yes, they are very uncomfortably close to being hypo. I've been asked to take a unit less of lantus if things are not about 6. So I'm reducing lantus tonight. It's frustrating because 2 days ago my "baseline" (without) bolus) was about 7. Reduced lantus tonight and will see what happens. 4.2 is...

First, I should mention I have chronic pancreatitis and this affects how much digestive enzymes my pancreas does, or does not, produce enzymes that help digest my food. The condition also causes a lot of pain but that's another subject. Creon supplements how much protease (protein enzyme)...
