    Not at all Mel, :) just given me the focus to try and get it in that range and knowing that it is possible is good. The other articles have also helped a lot. Have a good day.

    Hi there, does anyone have access to a freestyle Libre graph for a non-diabetic ? People do mention that for non-diabetic also, there is a spike after food but then insulin is produced to keep it under control. How much does it spike? Thanks Ken

    Metformin good news

    Yup, it is not just the length of life but the quality that even I am afraid of. Seeing my mom of 83 suffer from dementia and the results of a stroke ... not good.

    Still in denial

    Not to worry ... I was in denial for about 8. You are making a good start and that is important. On wives and their support, remember, you know more than they do and it will be a slow process of education. Get more books so that they can also read. Get more low carb cook books so that they...

    Blood Sugar Blueprint - Microbiome Testing

    Hi Kate, the menu options on the Android app give you the graphs. See image. The Android app does allow you to export the graphs into OneNote/Google Keep/Evernote etc., But just as images and not data points. These graphs are helpful to see trends. Very useful graphs at that. If you get the...

    Blood Sugar Blueprint - Microbiome Testing

    Very interesting TED talk there Kate. Thanks for searching this out and posting. Though I cannot answer your question, this does put forward a clear message of how, starting with generic recommendations, we need to figure out what works best for each one of us. Right now it is more of a hit and...

    Libre v Accu-chek Expert - personal experiment

    Scott-c, that sounds amazing. Awesome work there. I am t2 and use libre just to keep things in check. The struggle is - libre sensor has a standalone app and no way I have been able to get the readings into Samsung health. Let me see if your solution gives me any direction.

    Libre v Accu-chek Expert - personal experiment

    Hi Snapsy, knocking it off is a smaller worry even when on the side. Have had it for about a year and the only trouble I've had is the very first one coming off due to oily skin. Since then, I have always put a waterproof skin on top of it for additional support and if I am travelling, then a...
