Thank you @Antje77 but I'll have to decline (children, lots of work, bike to be ridden - purely for the sake of my BG of course :)). My thanks to those who do moderate though :)

Unfortunately, even the unofficial apps don't get data while the sensor is offline.

Please do keep a record, it would be interesting to see what other people find: https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/cgm-log-how-long-do-they-last-why-do-they-fail.114108

To answer myself, I had the replace sensor message this morning (after the sensor gave up producing data in the early hours) with the following codes reported when I scanned it (while it wasn't working): 49,130 (oldest) Er0,2014 Er2,266 Er3,365,P 33 (newest) (this are in chronological order...

That screenshot, at least, looks like you're stable (but higher than desired) overnight, and running a bit high due to breakfast (I assume) - I note you go back down to where you were beforehand, which is why I assume the amount of insulin is roughly correct. If it were me I'd take my breakfast...

I also had a frozen shoulder (twice iirc, though usefully my online record is not helping me much!), it was both annoying and painful at the time ( I recall not being able to reach to the small of my back, though quite why I needed to do this and remember this being a problem so vividly I don't...

I realise they are indeed sugar-free, but they don't claim to be carb-free and apparently contain 81g CHO per 100g, which isn't far off what I'd expect for something containing sugar plus gelatine etc. to pad it out...

I'm certainly not against apps, but when I was in France earlier in the month I simply looked at the nutritional info on the packets, which is what I'd do in the UK too. For things without packets and barcodes, croissants and pains-au-chocolat for example, I'd have a look in e.g. Carbs and Cals...

No reason for Jelly Babies except they are well known and easy to chew. They also iirc contain pretty much exactly 5g of CHO per baby, which makes it easy to count your required carbs. I don't think they are as effective/fast as Skittles, which are my preferred hypo treatment (~1g CHO/Skittle...

This is after the "Replace Sensor Message"? I must admit that I've never tried as I tend to just get on and replace the sensor at this point (they are usually suffering from some other ailment so I'm happy to get an automatic replacement), though I could imaging that if the sensor itself starts...

Thanks, interesting (and I'm pleased) that they work well for you. Good luck with the pump/new sensor combo too.

What phone do you to communicate with the sensors, and how do you find the sensor values compare against finger prick tests?

I always use the reader to remove the accusation that there's an issue with my phone. They do, however, keep sending me new readers (I just received my 3rd), which may be because they've got a glut, but it also seems to indicate that they think there might be some issue with the hardware on my...

I see these messages (or rather what we assume is the previous name - sensor error wait 10min type message) quite a lot, but then I have lots of troubles with calibration of the sensors. They often happen when there's a fast transient change in BG, which makes sense - the sensor wants to stop...

I wonder if they are now splitting out the messages that would previously have been lumped under sensor error. What does the log show? Is there a specific (err) code which occurs when these messages are being displayed?

The question about protein and fat might be related to the fact that when little or no carbs are eaten, the body will break down protein and fat to produce glucose (gluconeogenesis), but this isn't something to worry about too much unless you're not eating many carbs - it's also a slow process...

It's likely that HbA1C is linked to cumulative total area of the curve above some threshold value (i.e. BG above threshold * time above threshold to give a value in e.g. mmol*minutes/l), though there is no particular evidence I've seen either way and there is a quite significant possibility that...

Would be worth starting a thread, I've got all the sensor log data from the sensors I've returned over the last year or so (since I started sending an email rather than sitting online) - might be interesting to compare notes.

I never saw the need to talk to other T1s until ~5 years ago when I wanted to know whether others had specific guidance /experience with long distance/duration exercise. I'm glad I joined as I've learned quite a lot (mainly as my intro was many many years back and I think the guidance people...

It has been sometime since my binge drinking days :D, but as I was diabetic across my teenage years and university, I do have quite a lot of experience. The answer is (as usual) it depends - on what you drink, an on how much activity the day entails (even needing to wander around to get to...
