Dont see the point if dieting is making life intolerable. I thought the same as you firstly but soon came to realize metformin cuts you a bit of slack.

8.4 yet again...terrible !!

Yes, I thought that too. After the initial investment of the machine itself, there is bound to be some kind of subscription. As long as its loads cheaper than Libre, I would look at it.

Hello all, I have been reading about Apple,Samsung etc making these watches for diabetics. does anyone have any information on them ? Last year I recall a statement saying that developments were happening rapidly and we may see prototypes rolled out this year. I for one cant wait, I hate finger...

thanks Lamont, this shakiness is only when glucose drops significantly more or less into hypo. to be fair, this isnt happening much now as I think I have it sorted and now eat properly. I have been diagnosed for 11 months now so I guess medication is a bit trial and error for my doc.

Hi Lamont, sorry for late reply, I take metformin 500mg x3 and half a tab of 80mg gliclazide each day.

my bloods were 8.6 this morning. 4 hours later and after a small breakfast and cuppa, driving back home, started trembling. Got home just in time and gone into hypo measuring 3.3. just seems you cant win with this awful condition sometimes.

didnt realise. both my brother and I have type 2..found out distant family members had it.

frustrating isnt it, Im normally in the high 7's first thing ..a lucky 6.3 this morning though

bit better..6.3 this morning

another disappointing 9.0 after a series of fasting 6's. so frustrating!!

8.1 this morning , feeling shaky after work so just checked again 2hrs after lunch..guess what 3.4 !! had some fruit and 20 mins later 3.3. so half a pack of lucozade tabs to get me in range. just cant win. thought i was doing well too.

same here ziggy, always very high first thing in the morning. settles down following metaformin breakfast though !

a disappointing 8.1 for me this morning. no idea why.

sorry all, Im still a little confused. I have a Libre 2 reader that was given to me as a present.(nice). As the Libre 2 sensors are £60 each, and the Libre 1 sensors are £30 each, give or take. Will my Libre2 reader be able to read Libre1 sensor. Im not worried about alarms or other functions ...

ok, thank you all. Will stick to what Abbott tell me just to be sure.

Can anyone tell me if my Libre 2 reader will read a Libre 1 sensor. Asking as there is a lot of difference in price.

Doctor immediatley, I was diagnosed type 2 last week, thank the lord I had a UTI that was bothering me.

Just diagnosed as type 2 last week. test this morning 16.1 and Im happy as its come down a lot, scary !!
