@Emck I use iPhone 11 and have the exact same problem. It's been doing it for a couple of weeks on and off. If you find a solution, please let me know. I'm hoping a new update will be released to fix it.
@sd3oaa I regularly eat dessert, probably 3/4 times a week and manage to stay in range [emoji106][emoji507]. Of course low carb makes control easier, but if you can figure out correct ratios then it makes no difference.
Just my opinion....
I started off doing it in the toilet due to being a bit self conscious injecting in public, but felt like a junkie and just imagined the look on someones face if I was caught in the act :facepalm:
Table makes much more sense :)
Hey @Amy2993 ,
It comes down to the problem that everyone reacts differently to every aspect of diabetes.. ultimately as long as you’re using common sense you’ll know what works best for you.
If you’re lefts are consistent between 4 and 7, I wouldn’t be taken insulin either as this would...
I have continued to eat what I want pretty much since being diagnosed 18 months ago. My honeymoon period ended at around the 6 month mark.
I can eat anywhere between 150 - 300g of carbs a day. My control is still very good so it works well for me. I’m averaging 75% in range so find what works...
Hi Everyone [emoji846]
I've been using the libre for around 8 months and for the most part they've been excellent. I'm fully aware readings can fluctuate a fair bit but my current reader is showing 3.5 and my finger prick is 8.3. Im on day 3 of the sensor so it may well just be a dodgy sensor...
Don't see it as letting yourself down @Chloelox , at least it gives you an idea of why your levels increased :) It's also great to learn from so it gives you a better idea how much insulin to have for the next time you decide to have a high carb meal!
Thanks for all the advice [emoji846] a few different ways to approach it.
I guess it ultimately comes down to what I'm comfortable with but I'm leaning towards educating as I certainly fit in to those stereotypes before I was diagnosed.
Hi Everyone [emoji112]
I got diagnosed with T1 just over a year ago and this forum has really helped me get to grips with everything.
However I'm still in that period where I'm seeing people for the first time since being diagnosed and also when meeting new people, where I find it super...
Thanks @kaylz91 that's really helpful. I've got to be honest, I'd had my Libre for 7/8 months now and I've only just looked at my LibreView online, I've always just used the app, but the reports are great! :)
@kaylz91 I guess a focus on 'time in range' makes complete sense! What would you say is a 'good' time in range percentage? Obviously the closer to 100% you are the better, but what could be considered as good percentage and what do you typically set your range at?
I tend to 'eat what I want' and take the correct amount of insulin. Usually somewhere between 150 - 250g a day depending on what I'm eating and this is my current 14 day daily pattern. Like previously mentioned, I think background insulin is key with these graphs.
It seems as though it's good enough to give you a 'rough idea' of where you're at but comes in a bit lower than the actual reading.
Thanks Rose! You'll probably need to get through a few more sensors to get a more accurate estimation but heading in the right direction by the looks of it.
@xfieldok interesting, that's quite a big gap! So potentially the more hypos you have could make the estimation even further out.
@Brunneria That makes complete sense, goes side by side with the difference in standard readings as well.
I was diagnosed nearly a year ago and for one reason or another (moving location, covid etc) I haven't had an official HbA1c test.
I've been using the Libre for about 6 months and was interested to know how accurate the 'Estimated A1c' is compared to a proper one?
Mine currently says 6.7% /...
I was lucky enough to get one after being diagnosed for about 5/6 months and have had it now for 6 months, for me getting one at such an early stage helped me understand what my body was doing in so much detail. I guess it really helped with me getting to grips with everything as soon as...
@Shaun* Welcome mate! I'm 27 and got diagnosed with T1 nearly a year ago now. Any questions feel free to fire over a message, you'll find it's a big change but get in to the swing of things quick enough! I've found that the majority of questions I've had, someone has asked it on here before so...
