I know that I've been hypos in the past. But I've never "felt" them. This afternoon I went to 0.9 (yes) and I couldn't even put my shoes on. I could not walk! I couldn't do a f thing. I don't want to ever feel like that again. Ever. I'm just glad my mum was here

These graphs are misleading. The day before Sun 29 my avg BSL was over 20. I was getting pretty ****** off. Sun 29 wasn't great either TIR was, I dunno 5%. At about 10 PM 29th I had a throbbing headache, I was peeeing constantly, I was thirsty, my mouth was dry. I was angry. Very angry. I will...

WHO advises not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight control in newly released guideline https://www.who.int/news/item/15-05-2023-who-advises-not-to-use-non-sugar-sweeteners-for-weight-control-in-newly-released-guideline “The recommendation is based on the findings of a systematic review of...

Just wondering if anyone has experience with a G6 sensor behaving very erratically (6.7 to 3.1 and back to 6.5 in 10 minutes, no insulin, no food, finger prick 5.4 for example)? If it’s the sensor I wonder if Dexcom would replace it, but how to differentiate between a sensor malfunction and a...

Up the top of the Dexcom app is a triangle of dots with ‘share’ written underneath. About an hour ago a pink circle with the number 1 inside it appeared, overlaying the triangle of dots. Does this mean I’ve shared with someone? I can’t seem to remove the pink dot and can’t find in settings or...

I’ve been using the dexcom g6 and love most things about it, but tomorrow I have to decide whether to go back to the libre 2 What I like about the g6: it seems to be more accurate for me (i may be imagining this though); 2) i can calibrate it; 3) it, surprisingly because of my sleep position...

Had another DE appointment about 4 days ago and she wants my fasting BSL to be in the 7s or low 8s. Going through my past Libre reports I don’t think this is even psychologically possible for me. The reason I say this is because 2 months ago I was in hospital and on nil by mouth for 48 hours (I...

I’ve searched through all the software settings and Google and can’t seem to find a solution. My problem is that I reckon I miss 99% of my high/low alarms because they’re so short in duration (i.e. just a single beep that doesn’t even last 1 second). They’re so short that I simply don’t hear...

Had a blood test the other day and my GP rang me this morning. My stomach immediately sunk and I mentally went into some kind of flight/fight response expecting bad news because it’s unusual for my GP to ring me unless something is wrong. Turns out that my latest blood results were so good that...

About a month ago my Dr increased the dosage of one of my other medications (not diabetes related) and my blood sugars went out of control. For example, 15-20 minutes after taking the tablet my BSL would jump up to 3 mmol/L higher from the level I was before taking it. This elevated level would...

The place where my DN and also my dietician work have a lot of different services. So I booked in for a smoking cessation consultation. I just got a text message: "Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx after your gym session on 27th February there will be a short smoking cessation session" (emphasis mine) Gym...

I've searched the forums and can't really find what really high blood sugar feels like so I thought I'd share. I'm only 9.7 at the moment but I will share what I experienced at 27 mmol/L in case it helps someone. I've modified the form of this post to try and separate immediate symptoms from...

Today my average BSL is 5.9 (Libre 2)!!!!!! I'm happy with that. There was a small peak at lunch but no lows. Good days are ahead

I've had enough. Giving up

I'm ok, so what can I do but laugh? I'm ok but... NO ALARMS. That's not terribly low, for me, but it seems I was below 3.9 for about an hour.... I don't know if I'm reading these graphs right

I've just looked at my Libre2 graphs for the last 24 hours and I've been below 5.5 for the majority of the time except for after breakfast. I'm using the reader not Android because I got an email from Abbot. The "problem" is that the alarm went off about 1.5 hours after breakfast because I...

Screenshot from libreview. That grey line doesn't match my alarms at all. Is is what is Libre or someone else considers "normal"? 3AM low shows. Nearly every night at 3AM I drop below 4. Other than that it's nice and flat hahaha

First, I should mention I have chronic pancreatitis and this affects how much digestive enzymes my pancreas does, or does not, produce enzymes that help digest my food. The condition also causes a lot of pain but that's another subject. Creon supplements how much protease (protein enzyme)...

4.2, which is not hypo but I can't get myself above it. Was 4.3 before lunch and even skipped bolus. Pretty embarrassing.

I can't do this. I can't handle it and I have no idea what do to
