The fibre does flatten the peak, though. At least for me. Quite a bit of protein in there as well

The advice from my doctors and nurses is to trust the finger prick. If I'm in the middle (say 6 to 7) I just trust my libre. If I'm low I trust the finger prick because of the lag (I am often lower than what my libre says). Highs I don't worry so much about because I've only had one high but...

Thank you for taking the time to write/adapt this for me @Grant_Vicat I don't think I became violent, nobody has told me that... I've been told that I became very stubborn, refused to do what anyone was telling/asking me to do and would not talk. When I was in hospital the Dr asked me for...

I went to 4.1 for 1 hour during the night -- after my small hypo -- but then it went to 4.6 at 12:39AM basically stayed there, with the normal small fluctuations. Woke up and it was still 4.6 before breakfast. These are all libre results

I'm a bit of a "data hoarder", if there's such a thing. I've got a bookshelf of diaries that I've kept since 1990! I can look back and see what I did on most days (there's some weeks missing from when I was in ICU) from that period if I want to. I never do, but it's there if for some crazy...

Yes I'll be interested as well. I've got everything written down and I can show the diabetes nurse on my phone as well. It was 137g of carbs, your calculations are very good. The thing I changed last night was that I spaced out my orange juice and measured every 10 minutes instead of every 2...

I do this as well. I don't do the short bursts of power so that's a good hint but they turn out ok and it's quick. I also microwave bacon between two bits of kitchen paper. Weetabix spike me and since I weigh my milk when I do have them the scrambled eggs can be done just about as quickly

It was easy to do. The problem is I don't know how many mmols different foods raise me, or how quickly. I'm writing more things down now. I'll learn Edit: I won't be alone in the house again after tomorrow so I might be able to panic less

Treating it now. One orange juice, not 1 litre

Yeah I'm going low again. 3.8. Here we go again :(

Sorry, I deleted my last post. I don't know what I'm pressing. Here it is again. They've reduced my lantus by 2 units. Basically I didn't handle the second low well at all. Had too much (1 litre of orange juice and 3 teaspoons of sugar. No, honey, why did I type sugar. I'm probably going low...

4.1 is ok. Having toast anyway

What can I do but laugh?

spoke too soon

Thank you :) I'm not sleeping but it was nice I think :)

Have you told them that?

I see now that you're on insulin. Can I ask what they want you to eat?

I hear you. Even vegies are expensive at the moment. In most countries, though, the recommended food choices are an average. So, yeah, they might they say fish 3 times a week (I can't afford that for sure!), but on average. Doesn't make it much easier though. My only advice is do the best you...

I don't know what ACV is. But chia seeds might not be a fluke, they're very high in fibre. They also have a high amount of omega-3. So if you you like them, why not?

This is what I call a spike. Your mileage may vary
