I often use honey to treat a hypo, works a charm for me.

I was busy indeed so thanks for explaining! Have been doing this all day: Hence the rubber eggs, there is no way I'm organised enough to mark eggs... Over the day on the boat I snacked on two eggs, a large piece of cheese and a piece of salami to keep things easy, evening meal will be the...

A very nice surprise! One of the chickens has decided that the dog pillow behind my gas heater (not sure of the right word) in the living room is the perfect place to drop an egg every day. I have been away a lot lately so I hadn't noticed, she apparently sneaks in when I'm not around. I just...

I'm currently mostly a reader on the forum, but I'll be happy to read about your meals and whatever else you fancy to tell us about anything!

Default setting is 3.9 or 4.0 to 10, which is the range accepted by HCP's. Of course it makes a huge difference if you're usually running 8-10 or 4-6, even though it's all 'in range'. On medication with a hypo risk like gliclazide or insulin, it makes sense to up the lower end a little so...

I would definitely attribute this to a faulty or glitchy sensor and assume your bg stayed more or less the same except for maybe a crazy short spike because of the dream, especially because you usually son't see anything like this. I hope you'll feel better soon, not being well can play havoc...

This surely looks like a sensor glitch to me. I must have seen thousands of screenshots of Libre graphs on social media, and I have never seen a straight line up like yours. The Libre algorithm is even built to refuse to show data in case of ridiculously quick drops or rises for safety, this...

I'm another who likes eating later at night, but I tend to keep my late night eating lower carb to not create issues in the night. Nuts, pork scratchings, an evening meal of protein and veggies with cheese or cream, cheese crisps, chicory dipped in hummus or aioli, eggs, those are the things I...

A mixed salad as in lettuce, egg, tomatoes, celery, onion, cucumber, feta, pork rashers etc is very unlikely to raise your blood glucose by a lot. But you added a lot of carby stuff like cous cous, grapes, orange, pizza slices and chips. All of those will increase blood glucose, no matter the...

Glad I could be of help!

Not today but a little while back. I work as a bridge operator in the Netherlands in the city of Leeuwarden, where lots of small boats and some bigger ships come through. So every 10-20 minutes I close the barriers for the cars/bikes/pedestrians, open the bridge, wave to skippers and wish them...

I fully agree, and it's one of the reasons I like Tresiba so much. I take it last thing before I turn off the light, which can be anywhere betweem 10:30 pm and 5:30 am, not an issue at all and very stable bg.

I made a Thai green curry for the first time of my life. Very tasty, I had salmon for protein in the curry.

it's an operation where part of the pancreas and some other stuff is removed, usually because of cancer. This often leads to type 3C diabetes, which is diabetes caused by damage to the pancreas, so not T2 (insulin resistance) or T1 (an autoimmune reaction killing the insulin producing cells in...

You might like this section of the forum: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/success-stories-and-testimonials.43/ Many of our T2 and prediabetic members are able to keep their numbers in a normal range for years by altering their diet.

I always believe a fingerprick over my Libre, but when in doubt I wash hands and retest. Some residual food on the fingers can easily give a false test result. Your profile doesn't say what type of diabetes you have or what medication you are on. Are you on medication that can cause hypos like...

I'm on Fiasp as well, and although it works very quick for some, I found I need to prebolus by a longer time than 15 minutes.

Simply scan with your new phone and it'll ask you if you want to use the new phone! I don't remember if it keeps old data.

Have you asked him? Why did you need to go to him when he was still capable of making a phonecall? If I can make a phonecall, I can eat something to treat a hypo. Being on the phone at the same time means that someone is aware if you stop talking, and thus is capable of taking action should...

Do you know why he is so afraid of lows? Has he had a bad experience with a low? What kind of support does he get from his diabetes team? It's possible he can get psychological help through his team from someone who is specialised in diabetes. Dying from a low is very, very unusual. What...
