6.0 for me this morning.

My Endo told me that the Libre reads low for safety reasons. I use the MiaoMiao and other apps to calibrate and provide her with the data from NightScout. I use Tomato to calibrate as I can’t get xDrip to work. It’s not compatible w the iPhone and US Libre for whatever reason.

I found following Dr B was a bit too limiting as well so used it as a guide and to learn and just fashion my own meals as it works best for me. I average about 20 g carbs per day. Mostly this is to limit my bolus dose as I live alone and do not want a bolus induces hypo. I try to get the bulk...

Good luck! I can’t do fasting as I get hungry and miserable.

I am still taking basal. This sudden lack of need for bolus is super strange. Came on suddenly. Normally have to bolus, although not much due to my diet. In March when tested I wasn’t producing any insulin. Seems odd I suddenly would be now. Of course due to Covid am a bit nervy about going in...

I am currently having the same issue. The Libre readings are way low. Abbott is sending a replacement. This is the third one in as many months to fail like this. Luckily I’m using the MiaoMiao so can calibrate to some extent to catch lows. Seems like the reliability is becoming an issue.

Update: Ate chia pudding w nuts and berries. Usually take bolus but didn’t just to see and very little rise 2 hours later. So confused.

Hello all, For the past two day’s if I bolus I have too much IOB and have a hard time keeping my sugars up. Not going low at night. Also not rising as usual when I get up. I have LADA. Anybody else experience this sometimes? Very, very strange. Thanks!

Be sure you’re getting enough nutrition. Also I found if I eat less than 30g carbs a day my ketones shoot up. Not an issue as long as you don’t suddenly run high, then risk of DKA. I would suggest Dr Bernstein’s book “diabetes Solution.” Has recipes and discusses low carb in detail.

That should pass. But It may take a week or so to start feeling more energy. Definitely keep up with your electrolytes. I’ve found that to be very helpful. How many grams carbs are you getting each day? When I was too low I felt pretty bad. Now I’m up to about 30 per day and that’s much better.

You will love it! Be aware that you should calibrate with finger sticks after the first 24 hours when the reading is stable. There will be a difference between the Libre and your BS. Usually the Libre reads lower than my BS but the difference changes w each Libre sensor. I also typically install...

You will still need to scan the Libre at least every 8 hours to capture the data for the Libre link server, unfortunately. But I just set up a reminder in the Libra app so I don’t forget.

Thanks. Will try to carefully add more carbs to get the ketones down a bit. Not comfortable with them over 3.

Those are BS levels. Ketones currently at 3.5.

Thank you. I am doing all those things but very concerned about the high ketone. Endo still has not called me back.

I am typically between 4.8 -7.2. Looks like I’m in starvation mode based on your graph.

I am monitoring with a blood ketone meter and have reached out to my endo this morning regarding my current levels.

Running at 3.5 ketones currently and BS at 6.4. Called endo just to be sure this is OK. Seems kind of high on the ketones. Only managing about 20 g carbs a day and may be too extreme. But my BS profile is great. Hmmm.

I am following Dr B as well but struggle to get 30 g carbs in a day. More like 20. On a side note I have reached out to my Endo about my ketones. Was previously told I am ok as long as my ketones don’t go above 3 because of my diet and I’m in range. Just measured 3.4 but BS at 6.5 currently so...

Hi, I’m curious how many T1’s out there are doing a low carb diet? I am and it helps w BS. Just want to talk to others. Thanks!
