I’m guessing that the first hospital appointment was his routine retinopathy scan, and the second the result of a referral from his optician to investigate something they saw at his eye test. Likely to be two different departments, and very likely the team that do retinopathy scanning were not...

Yes, in settings then I looked at Bluetooth and on an iPhone underneath there is a list of things I am connected to by Bluetooth (for example my watch) this list includes Abbott. do you have anything else you can connect to Bluetooth which will prove your phone Bluetooth is working?

Mine says Abbott and the sensor number.

How about taking some keto bars, or low carb granola for breakfast? I would definitely take some packets of nuts and pork scratchings, some of the small tubs of ready to eat tuna, take your own low carb bread at least you can make a tuna sandwich.

The alarms work through Bluetooth, the scanning is nfc. Which suggests that it’s something to do with your Bluetooth or notifications settings to me. I don’t use android so I can’t be sure, but have a look where you found it saying notifications in use, try clicking on that and see if you get a...

Notification when in use, I wonder if that could just mean when your phone is in use, ie not when it is sleeping. Definitely worth changing to always.

On an iPhone I go to settings scroll down the list of apps to libre link, click on that and then I can enable or disable Bluetooth.

I don’t have a Samsung, but on my iPhone in settings there is a setting for notifications. You could have a look and if you have similar make sure you have notifications enabled for libre link. Also I assume you have allowed your libre to connect to Bluetooth? instead of using Miao you could...

yes, I wear a libre. It’s fascinating that we are all so different.

Low carb bread would definitely help.

have you tried it and tested to see what effect it has?

As above, fried bread isn’t lower carb, but it’s absorbed more slowly so my body is able to produce insulin to deal with it and I don’t get a big peak. Of course you might be different so try……and test.

I find a full English Is fine as long as I avoid toast. A local cafe does fried bread which is fine for me. Or try asking if you can have an extra egg instead of toast.

Those levels are very high especially if you are on a low carb diet. If you don’t mind me asking are you overweight? Has your GP done any tests to confirm you are type 2 and not type 1? I would call 111 now and chat to them to see what they recommend. It seems too long to wait until Thursday at...

Yes, I’ve had to have at least every other one replaced due to one occasionally coming off (despite using an alcohol wipe and tegaderm over it), or more often it just stopping working before the 14 days is up. Abbott always replace it but sometimes it takes three weeks to get the replacement as...

I use these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N5O7FG8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 partly because the libre doesn’t stick well on me, but also because I like to swim for an hour three times a week. No problem scanning through them.

Be careful with slimming world as it can be a very carb heavy diet. Just be aware that bread, potatoes, rice, pasta is all likely to increase your blood sugar, even wholemeal versions. great idea to get a meter then you will be able to see for yourself which foods are increasing blood sugar...

I also find a regular difference of 1 to 2 with the libre 2 compared to blood glucose, at its worst if readings are high or low. I’ve downloaded diabox and use that to calibrate the sensors which gives me a much more accurate result. But diabox doesn’t have as many interesting graphs as...
