Yes, and it's rather annoying! When using other non official apps you can see that the sensor is still providing readings during these periods. When viewing the raw data, you can see that the sensor does occasionally glitch and give a single completely off reading (maybe due to the filament...

At my last appointment my team said they could maybe get me approved for the Omnipod 5+Dexcom G6, and I've been seriously considering it. For years I've been put off pumping by the size of the devices and external tubes, but for something that small and self contained and semi-automated it...

This is a first for me! I was changing the needle when I noticed the remaining insulin in the cartridge was a funny colour. I'm guessing some blood got sucked back in. I have been using my front quads and calves more than usual (I used to always use my stomach and needed to give it a break)...

With frozen shoulder, people often talk about different stages over time. At first there are sudden moments of brief but excruciating pain with certain movements, and the range of motion reduces significantly over a matter of days or weeks. While motion is severely restricted it can be hard to...

Though now I'm wondering, maybe OP was actually talking about basil https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6542390/

Basal! I guess Americans pronounce them the same though

Gripping onto an overhead pull up bar (or climbing frame etc) so your feet are off the ground, and just hanging there for a while. Full weight might be too much at first, so you can try with some of your weight on your feet and build up gradually.

Same for me @OrsonKartt During the first Covid lockdowns I went from lifting weights most days to sitting all the time, and developed a frozen shoulder during this period. I suspect the inactivity was a factor. I had a cortisone/hydrodilatation injection which significantly reduced the...

Hi Chris, The sensor I was talking about back there never reconnected with Bluetooth to phone or reader for the rest of the time I had it on. However, more recently when I was trying to get both apps working on a different sensor, both stopped connecting, but that time after deleting both...

I don't think it's news that they've been trying for a while, but there were a few bits in this article that were new to me. (before getting anyone's hopes up, it sounds like they're still a long way off a working device) https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/01/apple-watch-blood-sugar-monitoring/

You mentioned that after a full roast dinner and dessert it wasn't as high - that does make sense. That would give me a big rise, but over several hours, and in a non diabetic the natural insulin should easily keep up. It seems counter intuitive but if I'm going to eat something sweet like a...

My understanding is that the evidence for any benefits from omega 3 supplements is inconclusive. I try and get enough through diet (so lots of fish, eggs, nuts and seeds) for heart health.

Hi, Are you asking if you can use the LibreLink Android app on a Moto G7 Power phone? I believe the answer is probably, depending on the exact model. The important thing is that it has NFC and Bluetooth and at least Android 5. It looks like there were a few variants of the G7 for...

Hi @Ricku2 Many of us find the Libre tends to exaggerate low readings, and I'd trust the finger prick number over it (though that also has a margin of error). If you're diet only I don't think occasional readings of 3.4 are anything to worry about. For those of us on insulin they give us this...

To clarify to the point about dose dependent duration, here's a figure (from here). Bigger doses don't just bring down sugars more, they continue acting for longer. I believe a similar effect happens to varying degrees with other insulins. So doses much bigger than typical for most could be...

To answer your initial question bluntly - yes, I think you are. This extreme focus on dust mites seems like a big distraction, and getting in the way of you improving your situation. I do believe allergies could play a moderate role in varying BG levels, but small compared to the basics of...

What I still want to know is how low does it have to be to be harmful in itself. So not just because it might go lower in the short term, or might reduce warning signs and cause it to go lower at some point in the future - at what level does some form of damage occur due to the level at that...

I'm also interested in this. I think in the USA and other countries that use mg/DL, 70 is often considered the threshold, which is just below 3.9, so already a little lower than we get told in the UK. Treating the hypo threshold number as a fixed value for everyone seems a bit strange to me...

I guess if non diabetics try these watches it might not be obvious to them that the results are fake, since their sugars stay in the normal range and they aren't used to testing their blood and recognising the feeling of highs and lows. If someone's levels always stay between 4 and 7, and you...

That seems reasonable, and I was expecting to only be able to have the BT connection with one, but @Jaylee and @SimonPC seemed to be saying they keep both? I'd be happy with LL as NFC only, and the alarms only on DB with BT, but just can't get this working.
