Everyone is different so it’s about doing exactly what you are…..experiment and test. You will get the hang of it and it gets easier once you know how you react to different foods.

I agree it’s worth checking. I’m also type 2. I self fund a libre. So I had a small portion of chips at approx 2pm Tuesday. You can seefrom the graph the spike peaked almost exactly 2 hours later, and came down as quickly as it rose. But I didn’t have anything else with them and for me that does...

My morning rise usually starts somewhere between 5 am and 7am. It varies day by day. This morning at 6.30 I was 4.1, now at 9.08am my blood sugar is 6.5. I expect that will be the peak. But today is a good day, it will often go as high as 8 or even 10 if I had too many carbs the day before...

I personally wouldn’t worry too much about a small amount of carbs in milk for tea/coffee. But luckily I have always drank my coffee strong and black, made in a sage bean to cup machine with the best beans I can find. Never drunk tea.

This is a good recipe for a keto naan bread. It’s dead easy to make, and I make 6 naan breads from the full recipe and freeze 5 individually so I can just take one out when I want it. I have also rolled a naan from this recipe out sprinkled coconut and a few sultanas (careful just a few as they...

Apple have blocked diabox and xdrip from being used on iPhones which is incredibly frustrating as there is no way of calibrating the libre in libre link. I have just ordered a blucon, hopefully that will work well.

My husband had terminal cancer, although not diabetic. The hospice reached out to him, sending hospice at home nurses, inviting us in to see the hospice so that he could decide if he wanted to go there, and arranging for one of their doctors to review his medication. At all times they were...

Yes, I had an email like that last night and I haven’t ordered one.

My gP will also only issue one type of meter which is a neon finetest lite. No Bluetooth which means manual record keeping. Only needs a small amount of blood. I have bought myself a caresens dual which also tests ketones, and has Bluetooth. It’s slightly bigger but I prefer the simplicity. I’m...

The home page in the libre link app should look similar to this, but without any figures or graph. At the bottom where mine says check glucose it should say something like scan new sensor (this screenshot is an iPhone). If you screenshot what you are seeing maybe someone can help.

Have a look at this new app launched by two gps recently. There are some good simple menu plans and recipes which might give you some ideas. I also downloaded the nutracheck app which allows you to record meals and calculates the carbs per meal and total per day.

We can’t really advise you on the right thing to do, we don’t know your test results or why they have decided you should take insulin. But why not phone your maternity team (who I assume will have a diabetic midwife) and ask for a discussion with her about whether you could trial a change in...

If you have the energy to make your own soup, or a good friend to make it for you you can make it low carb. I had cauliflower and blue cheese soup this week which was lovely. If you like fish try fish pie with swede mash, or a mix of swede, butternut squash and carrot. Both can be batch cooked...

A reduced dose might help. I can’t tolerate 2000mg a day but 1000mg is ok. I agree discuss with your medical team.

Once you apply the sensor wait at least 24 hours, preferably 48 hours. Then scan it. This activates it, and you then have to wait 1 hour until you get the first result.

Yes, I find different sensors can give different results and I attach mine 48hours before starting. My sensor usually reads up to two points below my meter. but I have noticed the last two sensors are reading higher, ie closer to the meter. Maybe coincidence or maybe libre have changed...

Just tell them you are diabetic. They don’t check.

Contact Abbott and they will replace it.

If you search keto hana they do some really nice low carb granolas. I have mine with full fat Greek yoghurt and sometimes a few berries. Would it be possible to take the yoghurt ready in a bowl and some granola in a separate pot…or leave the granola at work ready. My yoghurt and granola this...

do you have a link for your coconut flatbread recipe?
