My last one at mid September was 7.8 @Amy.W I have since got a Libre sensor and it's helping me catch highs before they happen so I'm really hoping for 7.3/7.4 by mid November for the next one! My DSN said she would make a decision then on whether or not I could go ahead as this as been going on...

Really? I always lose the first day to inaccuracy!

I take my levemir as I'm going to bed and again when I get up.

I was late taking my levemir last night so it was my own fault . I took a tiny bit of fast Acting with it to bring it back to normal this morning.

Hboyt im in the same situation it's very frustrating! My pre pregnancy clinic advised me not to start on a pump though to keep going with injections!

I don't have a constant supply because Abbott don't supply Ireland with it yet so it's hard to get my hands on them but I did put the sensor on 24 hours before activating and still found the first day to be inaccurate!

4.4 but was very high during the night! Up to 17!

Wow! Thanks for all the info both of you! I didn't know the majority of what you have both told me-im dehydrated quite a lot so that makes sense! I always put the sensor on my arm as I try to do things by the book when it comes to just about anything in life! I use a freestyle optium neo meter...

Yes I'm on my 3rd sensor. It's an issue for me getting my hands on them being from Ireland but I do like having it. Find the first day to be inaccurate but not as bad as time goes on

Hey guys! I have popped on a new Libre and waited 24 hours before I activated it. Today was the first full day of the sensor and it was full of inaccuracies. I can't really afford this as I've given myself 3 weeks to get my a1c down as tight as I can. I am still finger pricking but hoping I...

Massive congrats to you postitnote and your husband! So happy for you he is here safe and sound. Come back and let us know how he is settling into home life x

Thank you Azure! Sound advice!

Thanks azure! When you say bolus in advance, say my bs was 4.5 before a meal and the meal I'm having needs 4 units of novarapid, how far in advance would you bolus for it? I'm always afraid I'll hypo when it's that low and I bolus too far in advance!

GrantGam1337, I have 2 libre sensors on the way to me to help me watch out for the lows, being from Ireland they are much harder to get hold of but I have a friend from Wales coming tomorrow and she got them for me! Don't know why I find it so hard to reduce it though, it's extremely...

I'll do my very best Mist! It's stories like yours that give me the inspo, we aren't alone!

Thank you for the reply!

Is it possible? I have targeted myself to get it down from 7.9% to 7% by this time next month. Can it be done if I stay under 8.4 mmol generally in the month?

You got this Smoof! The initial embarrassment fades after time! Actually to be fair I am t1 15 years and it's only since I did the DAFNE course in April of this year that I stopped hiding my condition. Kinda like I needed someone else to point out to me..what's the big deal? One thing I learned...

Hey smoof! I'm similar! 32 years old, type 1 Zumba fanatic!! Zumba is a high intensity exercise as you know. I make sure I test right before I start class and if it below 7 mmol I will check it again during class. At first I didn't want people knowing because I didn't want a fuss made. Now I...
