i guess if it’s consistently the same discrepency you would learn to adjust for that. But must be awkward to do. I use diabox which allows me to calibrate mine to get a result very close to blood glucose.

My libre always shows a lower reading than blood glucose by between one and two points. Therefore if you look at my graph overnight it usually shows a red line and a reading of 2.8. But if I check my blood glucose with my meter it will be around 4.2 to 4.5…….in the normal range. the libre is...

Found this thread and I just wanted to check. I’m travelling to lanzarote in feb which will be my first time wearing a libre and carrying a spare in my hand luggage. It ut okfor both me and my spare to go through the airport scanner?

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I use the libre2 with the libre app, and running alongside it I use diabox calibrated to give me a better correlation to blood sugar readings. this morning after 6 days of use my libre app came up with an error message saying the sensor isn’t...

I find it really interesting to see other profiles. I’m a work in progress, the higher readings on mine were when I was away in an hotel last week. My predicted GMI from libreview is 6%.

I’ve been using them since March and in that time I have had quite a lot fail before 14 days, around 8 have failed early, and three have fallen off. Each time they have been replaced without question by Abbott. Right now the last two have lasted the full 14 days, and my current one is on day 9.

From my iPhone data automatically transfers up to libreview. If you log on the libreview in the top left you will see a picture of the reader and next to it a little rectangle which looks like a small graph. Click on that and you will see the uploaded data.

I use an iPhone 11 Pro which works well.

that’s a brilliant idea. I’m doing chicken Caesar salad tomorrow and will replace the croutons with cheesies. they also do some chilli cheesies which are lovely.

Nothing todo with sweet stuff but someone on here suggested cheesies as a replacement for crisps. They are made with just cheese, baked and popped somehow to make crispy cubes. They taste really nice and are a good carb free alternative to crisps. You can buy them in Holland and Barrett or...

Tried some of the Holland and Barrett Brazil nuts and they are really nice.

I use tegaderm over mine to keep it on and make it more waterproof. That usually lasts the two weeks although I sometimes have to use a second tegaderm in the second week if ive been doing loads of swimming. I did lose one sensor in the very hot weather which came off 4 days early.

I’m no expert as I avoid these things. But how about two slices of toast and jam, or porridge……or even both!

I haven’t tried it but how about this? https://lodough.co/products/lo-dough

I use diabox and an old Apple Watch.

It should work if you turn the wifi off, but leave the Bluetooth on. So don’t use airplane mode which turns both off.

Forgot to say I have also added grated cheese and mixed herbs to them….even more delicious.

These Keto scone style buns taste good, are easy to make and I fill them with my usual sandwich fillings. especially nice with Philadelphia and tomato. I double up on the recipe make them a bit bigger and freeze half. Don’t be put off by them being called biscuits, it’s an American term for...

That increase is only 2.1 up and within an error margin for testing, plus still well within a safe zone. I’d be inclined to say it’s ok but personally I would keep it for an occasional treat.

Yes since wearing a libre I’ve been aware that mine rising when driving or a passenger in a car, particularly bad on a motorway.
