    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Thanks for this Validation!! Faith in tech reaffirmed, alarm thresholds (and evening amplitude) being adjusted! - I overslept this morning after a late night, and just asked dad what his morning reading was, and he hadn't checked it yet*, so I wonder if there's data loss if sensor only retains...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Hi , & thanks (everyone!) the DSN is engaged, I've just pinged her a q about reducing evening insulin, and made her aware of what's been happening.. she does get in touch when I reach out, but it's impossible to overstate how challenging he is as a patient, and I'm appreciative of how busy...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    So this morning dad is a lot better than usual. last night's meal (fish pie) was earlier (maybe around 7), but was only the 2nd meal of the day (3 had been planned, but distractions and delays resulted in only two being had). Dad stayed up til 3:30 (attempting to get to target of 12) consumed...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    I wondered about poll options on this forum (or an adhoc, external ala googleforms) re who smokes etc, and found all them calculators... fwiw, 1: the bolus metabolic rate (think that's what it stands for, not yet sure of significance or value of knowing) nb: height and weight reported...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    I could! Will he adhere, or maybe overcome his loathing and technophobia to disable? Quite likely!! Thanks for your kind words. My insulin-sensitivity theory is being tested- just had a high of 18, less than an hour after breakfast (7 units for the ~70 grams in content- I haven't fact checked...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Each tablet contains 3.7g of glucose just found that on packaging, after a fairly useful confrontation with dad, who perhaps rightly felt more than a little persecuted; I explained and apologised and added that much of my frustration stemmed from the fact that the reader os saying LAST SCAN...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Morning campers. We now have a smartphone for dad, once the current sensor is done the next will be activated, and hopefully this will help him, as he seems reluctant and/or unable to help himself I wonder how many of yall have ever experienced such confusion during an attack that you don't...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    You guys rock, thanks again! Yesterday I found some notes I'd made on Insulin Sensitivity and ratios and TDD, including test info to check background doses. Also I found the librelink info I was after, it says the sensor will sync with the app if close enough and no obstructions, but this isn't...

    Libre 2 - dumb questions

    We've had the replace sensor error nearly every day this week! I don't think the sensor site is too close to the armpit, but we'll monitor this Thinking about picking up a cheap mobile (just to scan the sensor, and get real-time synced data) to replace the reader provided by the nhs...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Morning all, groundhog week. Waiting for librelink CS to open to arrange latest replace sensor, which has been happening almost every day, so frustratingly we have missing data from sensors since last scan at midnight. I tried a scan with diabox, just in case it was just the reader device...

    Libre 2 - dumb questions

    Just looking for info on diabox after having some issues (primary reader device started saying glucose reading unavailable after scanning with diabox on an android) Fixed by turning off bluetooth on android, causing diabox to disconnect... Interestingly the readers reporting a reading of 6...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    Wow, I'm tingling from head to toe with amazed appreciation for the generosity of this forum. I'm looking for the contact details for the dietician as I believe they're unaware of the severity of the situation. Yesterday's fall has left dad with a big bruise on his forehead and I think he's...

    Improving diet and lifestyle and reducing hypos and hypers

    I think I may need to try and consult with diabetic nurse and dietician, my father's problems with diabetes are untenable. He's been cared for for years by our mother, but the roles have reversed now, and he's having to look after them. At first I was surprised at how well he managed, but his...

    Why use Diabox (or other apps) with Libre 2

    Thanks Do you know if the (android) phone and app will remain synced if within range of a few metres with NFC and Bluetooth, or do you have to bump the sensor to update readings and "flash" scan? If it does remain synced do you know how often it polls, and if that's configurable? Also are...

    Why use Diabox (or other apps) with Libre 2

    Thanks for all info shared. Im reviewing options for my father, who's using the reader and having regular hypos and struggling to manage with libre link 2 sensors ❓️can sensors that are registered with a reader also be setup with diabox app, to get alarms and even real-time readings?*...

    Libre 2 - dumb questions

    Just Found this thread whilst trying to work out what the app does, how high/low alarms are triggered via "Bluetooth" scans, if there's a difference between the accuracy of readings (assuming the app continues to read between scans) So libre 2 is "flash device". Is there an easy way to see the...

    GCM spikes and drops

    You've understood perfectly, thanks. There was contact with A team including a physio and diabetic nurse, but nothing recent. The basal was adjusted (from just an evening dose to half evening half morning), but not tweaked recently. This morning the reading was reportedly ok (~10), but...

    GCM spikes and drops

    Thanks, & Merry Xmas! The user is using a device to scan and record (it looks like a phone but is locked down to only allow Libra app), and is very private about data, and anti tech, so expect resistance to him using additional scanners, and also infrequent scans on a secondary device won't be...

    GCM spikes and drops

    Thanks The user is 70, and none technical (no mobile/online presence or interest). The NHS provided the device used to scan, so the data may not be readily/ever available for carer analysis (am trying to get regular and detailed recordings of food and insulin metadata, but this may be...

    GCM spikes and drops

    Hi all, just joined to try help a dearly loved one with ongoing issues. Since he's been using librelink GCM we'd hoped to see some progress in understanding and managing this (T1 condition) but currently the device is still seen as a bairn of his existence. Am hoping to understand enough to...
