Thank you EllieM. Im going to try it in the morning and see if that helps [emoji4]

Think ill try this as if there is a peak in the action of lantus then it would be mid morning. Thank you ...

Yes EllieM. I have the Freestyle libre and it does often show lower than a blood test although not by much so 3 on the libre is 3.7 blood test. I am reducing my Lantus and seeing if that will help but as my levels are so good over the day im hoping it wont affect them. I have a check up at the...

I am type 1 and on novorapid and lantus . Also lchf diet. I also run typically 3 to 5 miles 2 to 3 x a week. Since starting low carb I tend to get night hypos on run days no matter what time of day I run. My Bgs are usually in the 7 to 8mmol/l before running and sometimes peak at the start of...

Just wondered how anyone on hflc diet counteracts hypos in the night post exercise. I can be fine after 1 hour run in the day ..in fact i can run anytime of the day and that night at about 3am get hypo and end up having lucozade to correct . I have adjusted my novorapid insulin for the...

I got the Libre on prescription last November. I have taken up the lchf diet and fine tuned my insulin and exercise regime and have finally got to where i have been aiming for. It has been a learning curve and i have found what works and what dosent and how so many things effect my glucose...

Thank you SimonCrox . I have read the various studies done and come to the same conclusion. My hypos are infrequent and not severe. I am aware of them and can correct them easily. I cannot feel my heart significantly change rate so i'm not going to change things at the moment .

Just made some delicious psyllium husk pancakes with their eggs too. I know what you mean about time wasters...but I always think they make me keep things in perspective. Going to * delete where appropriate her comments myself[emoji57][emoji215][emoji239]

Yes slip...I have 8 ex caged hens at the moment who I adore. I volunteer with British Hen Welfare Trust rescues and always come away with at least one hen who needs extra tlc. They are so lovely natured. What hens do you have? I think my dsn should be less obsessive about my lows and be...

Thank you Nicole . That I can tolerate much lower blood glucose levels when I have tight control is definetely true. I will continue to investigate any studies that are harmful for heart health in relation to running low blood glucose levels and post on here.

Thank you. That is reassuring. I will go by the blood glucose readings then and not worry so much. [emoji6]

Yes. In fact a 3.5 reading last night on libre was 4.2 mmol/l on blood test so although low was quite a way off. I did test again after10 mins to see if interstitial levels were delayed but came out as same readings!

Thank you for your detailed reply. kitedoc. I agree that this study has so many variable and none really relevant to T1 diabetics. Let's us hope that as individuals we can prove that keeping in as near as normal BG range as possible and using sensible lchf diets and monitoring to adjust...

I just wondered if anyone has any evidence that keeping your blood sugars low end of normal and sometimes dipping below 4mmol/l is harmful to your heart. My DSN is obsessed with this and yet has no evidence other than the ACCORD study. I am type 1 and have been for 44 years . I have recently...

Keep fighting for it. It took me a year of emails to my ccg, gp and dsn at the surgery Basicallt i didnt fit thr criteria for the libre as my control was too good!!! I finally got a call from my dsn to say that the criteria had become less stringent and I could have a 6 month trial. I am now 2...

Excellent advice and works for me ...Doing the London Landmarks half marathon in March in aid of Diabetes UK's [emoji4]

My diabetic specialist nurse too me that there was a study of individuals who were given the target if getting their hba1 below 6.5 and the she said that a high percentage of the participants had developed heart problems due to their low blood glucose. She told me this after I had the Libre...

Well I can only hope they would check blood glucose and see it's low and respond accordingly...It would give them a hint if nothing else!!!

Keep it simple and easily seen by anyone trying to help if you are not able to speak. Paramedics will check your pulse here and see a tatoo and be able to give glucagon if necessary

I just got one too and it's showing me how low I often go overnight and my dsn has already seen my results via the auto download and changed my long acting insulin. Wonderful bit of kit[emoji16].
