You need to scan last thing before you turn the light off, then no more than 8 hours later. So if you scan at 10pm then you need to scan again before 6am to avoid losing any data. certainly if you scan at 10 then not until 7 you will have an hours gap between 10 and 11. its a need to time the...

I guess you made your decision by now but I didn’t want to just read your post and run. I am very sorry to hear about your daughter, it’s a terrible thing when our kids pass before us. I can’t give medication advice but I’m pretty sure Metformin builds up in the body over several days so...

Firstly I just wanted to check that the hospital reading was blood sugar, not Hba1c which would be expected to give a different result. assuming it is I don’t think there is anything to be worried about. All meters operate within a margin of accuracy and therefore the 3.7 could actually have...

I personally wouldn’t worry too much until you get a proper fasting test done. in your omelette you could try slices of tomato, onion, mushroom, or ham, or add any herbs you like. Or indeed any combination of these, congratulations on a great result too.

One thing is that libre is less accurate when it is high (for me if over around 0) or low (under 4). So it’s possible that reading could have been lower than recorded. yes, the pattern is what is important at first.

Anyone know the address to email m & s? I’m happy to give it a go!

I had that. Was referred to hospital but they said it was very minor and they would just see me again in 6 months. 6 months later they couldn’t see it at all so discharged me back to normal screening. Referred again the following year but no signs found on hospital review so discharged again...

My latest NHS one is a fine test lite but it doesn’t have a Bluetooth function. I have also bought a Caresensedual which does ketone testing as well. Both meters produce similar readings.

In a way you don’t need to believe blindly either your nurse, or the people here (including me) who have lowered their blood sugars using low carb. Give it a go for 1 week, test before and two hours after meals (keep a close check for sudden drops and whether you need to adjust your insulin)...

Using xdrip the phone is updated automatically by Bluetooth, then this is passed to an app on the watch. You can either just show the value as a number at the bottom under the time, or as a big number with arrow.

I use xdrip on an Apple Watch 3. If you search for the Facebook site it tells you how to get this app (it’s not in the apple store). If you follow the instructions it is easy. It does work through your phone, so that has to be near. I have just purchased a blucon night rider which should work...

If you Google keto Hana they do a very nice low carb granola. I have it with Greek yoghurt and sometimes a few berries. If you need more carbs you could mix a little normal granola in with it, or have it with milk.

ah, but I bought 6 packs! I left plenty on the shelf as well.

thank you! I called into Carlisle today and managed to get some. Expiry date is December but hopefully they will be fine beyond that date.

Hi and welcome, you have had some good advice from some very experienced people on here. Often when we are given a diagnosis people spend time telling us what not to eat, and I remember that feeling of not knowing what was left! I think it can be helpful to focus on what you can eat rather...

None in Workington today.

I buy my frozen cauliflower rice from morrisons. It comes as 4 individual servings bagged within a larger bag and microwaves from frozen. Super easy.

I use frozen berries this time of year, although a little soft they are still nice stirred through yoghurt. in my freezer right now I have individual portions of duck and chicken breast, cooked chicken thighs, basa fillet, salmon fillets, prawns, a ready meal fish bake from Lidl, portions of...

Just upgraded to iphone13Pro and Librelink is working with no problems.

There was a new update to the iOS version yesterday, so it may be genuine.
