    Libre 2 sensor

    I had a sensor die on me when I’d been working in the garden with the sun on it for 2 hours on a hot summer day. It showed a very low reading first, then after about 10 mins it stopped working altogether.

    What’s going on?

    I’m very new to fast acting insulin (4 weeks in) but I am finding what works for me with a higher carb meal is to take around 2/3 of what I think I’ll need. Then watch what happens and if blood sugar rises more Than I expect within a couple of hours I take the remaining third. Might not work...

    Help please

    Well a chippy tea or pizza won’t be helping. Both very high in carbs. Could you maybe reduce that to once a month rather than once a week? Or you can buy low carb pizza bases online to put your own toppings on. What type of nuts do you eat? Some are fine (like walnuts and almonds), peanuts are...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    Fbg 5.5 I just wanted to second what @lovinglife has said. I’ve been there as well. At the time I insisted I was fine and coping. With hindsight now I wasn’t. Please get the support you need and post here whenever you need to.

    Hi I’m julieclarke I’ve joined to find out more about T2 diabetes

    I use fruit pastels to treat my blood sugar when it’s too low. Eating three of them raises my blood sugar very quickly.

    I forgot that on a regular basis I also buy fish dierectly from a local fishing boat that unloads and sells directly on the harbour. Obviously depends what their catch is but I have bought langoustines, brill, Dover sole, plaice, skate, scallops. I can’t bring myself to buy the live crab or...

    What did you pop in your basket this week? Low chat level

    The cake sounds lovely. There’s a cafe near here which sells a Tunisian orange and almond cake. It uses a small amount of breadcrumbs and ground almonds but no flour. I’m thinking of trying it and substituting sweetener for the sugar. My regular basket includes cauliflower, broccoli, green...

    Am I over/under reacting?

    No problem! The most common effect of dapaglifloxin is needing to wee more as your kidneys work to push the sugar out. Some people don’t have any problems with Metformin, in others larger doses can cause diarrhoea. Neither of these drugs are likely to cause your blood sugar to fall too low, so...

    Am I over/under reacting?

    Hi and welcome to the forum, It would help our members comment if you could tell us what medication (type and dose) you have been given. In general being diagnosed with diabetes shouldn’t stop you working. What side effects if any you get from medication will depend what you have been prescribed.

    I use an Apple Watch SE with Xdrip4ios (same as zukka in the App Store) which shows readings on the watch. But only if the phone is within range.
