    Covid causing insulin resistance?

    Thanks all, Fortunately ketones are in check. Seems to be 150% to 200% normal bolus seems to be working well. I've gotten a course of molnupirivir from the oxford study so hopefully that might help. Fortunately symptoms are easing anyway. Praise the vaccines!

    Covid causing insulin resistance?

    Hi all, I have finally caught the corona. It's not too bad at the moment, but I seem to be needing huge amounts of insulin to cover quite small amounts of carbs. As such I've had a couple of huge spikes. Is it possible that covid has increased my resistance to insulin? I wonder if I've let my...

    Libre 2 Alarms

    Absolutely carrying High carb fluids. I have to carry about 200g CHO for my longer rides, and I'm not even that long distance a cyclist. Works very well with the trends on libre as you can adjust intake fairly acutely. Given the delay I now have my alarm at 5.5 for rides as if it gets that low...

    Scared by complaints

    I'm fairly new to this but an upper limit of 8 seems very low, especially as libre I'm on considers up to 10 'in range'. I only manage to stay under 10 after food if I nail the pre-bolus timing, so no wonder they are getting a lot of beeps!

    Libre 2 Alarms

    Hi All, Newly diagnosed type 1, 3 weeks ago (on pancake day, yeah I know), just got my Libre 2. Interested to hear what numbers people have set for their alarms. I'm a keen cyclist, and my BG can drop very quickly when I'm out on a ride, so tempted to set a highish Hypo alarm, something around...
