Yes 100%. Never fails to let you down. I scan with the reader as well so it’s not down to a third party device. I’m moving to dexcom 1 as soon as I can get to my gps.

Nah, it's OK ya know! :) :) well, it serves a purpose anyway.

Hi, good luck! I was really apprehensive before going out drinking etc.. but it was not as dramatic as expected. Just make sure you take it easy. If there is going to be drinking where-ever you are staying, take your own supplies of everything. If you fancy a beer, then there is a low carb...

Have to say the Nutracheck app, on the advice of someone here is amazing. The fact that it's instant, and can find almost any product you can throw at it instantly, with near 100% accuracy makes food planning and monitoring ridiculously easy. It's a paid subscription (at least is now / for me...

That's an interesting idea. I could probably get a camelback water pack down the back of my suit with the tube strapped to my arm.. Like the idea of a slow and steady intake, without having to have half a sweetshop up my arms!

Second surf taken care of. Went in on 8.8. Stuck my cereal bar up one sleeve, Jelly Babies up the other. Ate my cereal bar after 25 mins (empty packet back up the sleeve!), came in after an hour. Levels Down to 5.4 back in the car. I suppose for now, an hour may be about my limit. I can...

So i went in anyway. Couple of bits of toast, and was on 8.4 before going out. Ate a cereal bar walking down (17g carb), stayed in for about 40 mins, came out and was on 10. So obviously played it fairly safe. I had the Jbs up my wetsuit sleeve and they stayed in fine. What was interesting...

Thanks for the tips. As it happens it wasn't that good today, so i'm going tomorrow AM instead! I will have jelly babies up my sleeve just in case. I am wondering whether to err on the side of caution and just have a few as i go, or take a snack bar into the water (up my other sleeve) for 30...

Hi, I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. I'm taking 6 units lantus daily at present (at 6pm) and nothing further. Not that i plan to for the very long term, but i am eating about 100g carbs a day and this is allowing me to keep levels just about in check. I am planning on going surfing later...

Thanks All. I wondered if it was because the Lantus was at lunchtime rather than in the morning. My levels through the day will be up to 10/15 depending on how much i eat (not going mad, but not excluding carbs altogether), but i suppose this is because 1 week in, i'm not yet having any fast...

Hi, Recently diagnosed. Just wondering, has anyone got any tips on how to manage a night at the pub? In moderation, of course but i may end up staying out until about 2am. I'm only planning on having a couple of drinks (2-3) max, so if i keep testing i assume this should be Ok? Currently...

Hi, Not sure what's happened to be honest, four days ago i was feeling tired and thirsty, yesterday i'm injecting insulin in the Dr's Surgery. My initial blood glucose reading was 25 on Friday, had metformin over the weekend, went down to 21, and following a Hba1c reading yesterday of 103 i've...
