If it’s the libre 2+ it lasts 15 days rather than 14. It will tell you it’s going to end, and then stop. They can take a little while to bed in, but even then for me they read around 0.5 to 1 lower than blood testing at low levels, and the same amount higher at high at levels. But it’s still a...

I like this substituting sweetener for sugar. I’ve done it with blackcurrants or rasberries as well depending what’s in season https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/gooseberry-fool I also make a bread and butter pudding made with a mini panettone, and half the custard from delias recipe, again...

Hi, just a thought but check you are on the UK site for the libre https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html

999 is for emergencies, 111 is for other urgent needs and if you are on insulin. (Which I think you are) then needing a method of monitoring your blood sugar is a need.

Try phoning 111 and see if they can organise an urgent prescription for either libre or strips.

6.5 this morning. Wet, windy and grey here @Annb when I’m in that situation I think about what my husband would have wanted. I’m pretty sure he would have wanted you to do whatever makes life easier for you.

I like dairylea as well, and also just Philadelphia and tomato on low carb toast.

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...

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...

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.

Cheese and meat slices rolled together. A platter of continental cheeses, meats, olives. Cold high quality sausages, egg mayonaise. Slices of cold omelette or crustless quiche.

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...
