When I was diagnosed las june, I was desperate to get my levels down, by testing I found Shredded wheat, weetabix and porrige all raised my BG to unacceptable levels also semi skimmed milk. I changed them for a full fat youghurt and added my own berries, not only did my BG come down but so did...

I had urinary infections too, It seems to be a symptom of diabetes. Sugar in your wee !!!

You're very lucky you had a sheet of paper. Last June I went for a routine blood test pre a colonoscopy, I got a call saying could I come and see the doctor. I went in and was told " You've got diabetes, he's a presciption for metaformin and some statins" . That was it !!! I told the doc I was...

Fantastic read, very encouraging. Over the xmas period I have "upped" my carb intake and have had no adverse effects, except for a turkey white bread sandwich ( now I think it was the cranberry sauce) and a small piece of xmas cake.. I have closely monitored everything I've eaten via a Libre...

Well I had avery enjoyable xmas ,I ate all sort ( didn't overindulge but tried various foods) , including far too many thorntons chocolates , had a couple of smallish spikes but nothing scary. So today I thought I'd finish xmas off in fine stle, I had cake,trifle and a big turkey sandwich ( with...

I had a strange result about a month ago. My son came home for a visit and bought me a steak pie and a egg custard, ( he now lives in london and misses Manchester pies) anyway I ate them, be rude not too !!! BG before I ate 5.6, Bg 1 hour after 5.8, BG 2 hours after 5.5. No idea why, I've not...

It's quite an eye opner looking at the graph, some weird things happening for instance: I had trout and some veg last night about 1830 I watched my BG go from 5,6 to 6,7 in the space of 20 mins then it went down all the way to 4 within another 20 mins and stayed there until 2100 then rose to...

Originally, there was a difference of about .5 . The Libre read low. Today it seems to be the same as the meter .

Yes, the cost is prohibative for most , which is a shame, as it's already flagged up some surprises. I will use one again but it won't be a regular thing.

no advice , just jealous, my knees won't take it these days , enjoy yourself

I've barely had it a day and already what a difference, It's very easy to install and shows up every little variation. For instance looking at the graph I went to bed with a bg of 5.5, at 2am last night my BG was 4.5 at 5.30 it was 6 , when I did my normal fasting reading a 8.00am it was 5.5...

Well done, feels good doesn't it !!
