Hi and welcome, I am type 2 but currently just on a basal insulin. Personally I wouldn’t be able to eat either cereal or that type of fruits without it raising my blood sugar. If you wish to keep doing that you could talk to your diabetic team about changing your fast acting insulin to carb...

Which CGM are you using? If it’s a libre you can look on the app and see an estimated HbA1c. It’s not completely accurate for me, but it gives a guide to where you are. If it’s high you could use that to try and convince your practice to do a blood test. It maybe that you have to reduce your...

Fantastic. Well done. It’s a long slog but with the pressure you are under that’s a great result.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Do you wear a CGM? I would keep a very close eye on your blood sugars during the day today and make sure you have plenty of hypo treatments available as last nights dose will still be working, so effectively you have twice as much insulin on board as usual. We...

So that’s good to test before eating. Were you able to test about two hours after eating?

Before eating or two hours after @julieclarke

Julie, did you test before and two hours after eating the crumble?

Did you do what @Rachox suggested and test before and two hours after your meal tonight?

No problem. I hope there are others here who can help.

Xdrip+ only works with android phones and not iPhones. I have seen a number of people on here saying that they have been told by Abbott that librelink isn’t compatibility with the latest version of iOS. The issue seems to be with the phone loosing the Bluetooth connection. I’m on version...

You cannot claim pip just because you have diabetes. Any claim for pip is assessed on your ability/inability to do certain tasks such as moving around, leaving home, preparing food, washing. Here is some information about it. https://www.gov.uk/pip

I definitely don’t want to rip it apart but…. Toast and banana for breakfast is likely to be raising your blood sugar. The rest sounds good. Try testing before and 2 hours after your normal breakfast, then the next day leave off the toast and banana and see if there is a difference. Likewise...

Hi, Can you give us a better idea of what you eat on an average day? You mention cutting down on sugars, but does that include carbs (which turn into sugar in the body)?

Was the 10.4 before or after you ate the meal?

If you are looking for something to stabilise your blood sugar and stop it dropping before you go into a hypo then something like a small portion of walnuts, or an individually wrapped cheese might work for you. Or I used to eat a nut bar which was low in carbs and easy to carry.

Ah, I hadn’t thought of the almond flour. There are other low carb flours that might work. Coconut flour, or there are low carb flours from the low carb food company, or panda flour. It would need some experiments to work out ratios unless anyone here has experience.

Cheeses, hard boiled eggs, charcuterie meats, tomatoes, cucumber, can all be put in one of those multi compartment snack boxes. I make simple cheese crackers. I usually add herbs and sesame seeds to mine. They keep fairly well in an airtight container. https://thebigmansworld.com/keto-crackers/...

When mine first started there were no clinics in my area so things have improved. I did lose some weight a couple of years ago and it made a difference.
