Thank you. :) I'll up the number of finger pricks I do when it's low. I did a whole load of them yesterday, and consistently, my blood sugar was higher than my Libre readings.

Thank you, jonathan183. I cherish my hypo awareness, and hope it never goes away. :-) I do do occasional finger pricks when I get a reading which doesn't make sense, or if I want to verify a number I see on my Libre.

You're exactly right, Circuspony. I totally agree. I check my Libre all the time so I know what it's doing, and try to treat a low before it gets too low. I've never had a low which was so bad I couldn't take care of myself.

Totally agree. It's only been like that recently because I've been eating too many bites of Christmas sweets. I've had a polite conversation with myself to STOP IT. ;) It's already starting to improve. Thank you. :)

I'm unclear what you're saying? ".... reducing down that 4% of less than 4..." ?

Hello oldgreymare. Thank you for the response, and for the Best Practice paper. I read every page. :cool: Excellent article, and very enlightening. Attached is a screen shot of my TIR, and my average glucose over the last 90 days. Please note I've set my TIR between 4-9. Normally my TAR...

Hello EllieM. Thank you so much! Virtual hugs back to you. :-) Yes, I'm in the UK. Yes, the more I think about it, I think that you're right in saying it almost seems like the docs refuse to believe the data from the cgms. And I think they have a number in their head where a diabetic...

Thank you, EllieM. These two graphs are what they happened to look like the week I got my A1C results back, so those are the ones I sent in to the GP. I do have some lows, and they sometimes even happen enough to show up on my graph, but very rarely do I stay low for very long. I eat my...

Thank you for the reply, Juicyj. Yes, I understand about that, about the high and low swings making a good A1C. But I send my Libre 2 graphs to them, and it makes no difference. It's just every single time I get an A1C, I get these same sorts of worried conversations.

Hello all. My last three HgbA1C was 41, 42, and 39. I'm doing my happy dance because my hard work and vigilant BS control is paying off. But it's making my GP and my endocrinologist nervous. I send them my graphs (range 4-9). I do random ketone checks, which are always fine. I am fully...

I agree! I also want my BG and my A1C to be in range of a normal person. :-) We'll keep studying, studying. Thank you.

My guess is that I'm a LADA diabetic, although I don't have my antibody test results yet. So hello all ! I'm new on here. I'm 60 years old, 55 kg, active. I eat mostly vegetarian, mostly organic. Last weekend, I was diagnosed Diabetic Ketoacidosis (Hgb A1C 106, 4 + ketones in my urine)...
