Thank you for explaining to me. That makes a lot of sense. Might try and increase carbs by 10g until I reach 70g carbs a day of something along that figure.

I feel absolutely fine. Don’t feel any different to normal days which is strange.

I know I know. Thought one day a year wouldn’t harm ha

Thank you! Hopefully many more to come

Today is my birthday. I will admit I have eaten absolute rubbish today, lots of sugar and lots of treats. I make no apologies as it is only once a year. The first spike at around 9am, I had a Starbucks coffee and a croissant (around 35-40g sugar). The second spike I had a family sized bar of...

Hi, applied my Libre 2 sensor for the first time last night before bed, I’ve read about dawn phenomenon and have done some finger prick readings while waking/ mid morning but never with this level of constant monitoring. Is this typical dawn phenomenon. It’s 08:55 and I seem to be sitting at...

Latest HBA1C came back as 62, what a nasty shock. Not surprised considering I’ve been eating bad and at irregular times but still a shock. From Monday I’m going to start eating better and at regular times, also going to cut carbs down to under 40g carbs a day. My biggest decision currently is...

My readings after 2 hours were also nearly the same pre meal (or always under 2.0 mmol rise) even after eating rice, potatoes, pasta, bread. Which is why I was wondering if I was missing the spike. Seemed to good to be true being able to tolerate all these carbs) I don’t want to cut carbs...

I’ve got 2 free trail sensors so 4 weeks worth. If I really does make a difference I may look into buying privately. I will try 4-8 and might adjust 4-10. Depending on readings (currently am still waking up in the 8’s) Thanks for your reply.

I’ve applied for 2 free trails so will be only monitoring this way for 4 weeks. This is exactly why, I want to see what happens to my BG after carbs as I think I’m missing the spike, 2 hours after and my readings are back down to nearly pre meal readings (which doesn’t seem right?) also want to...

I’m setting up my new free trail of the Libre 2 CGM. This is purely to get a better understand of what foods are spiking my blood sugars as currently using a glucose monitor nothing (carbs) is spiking my blood sugars. I did an econsult from my surgery and they just replied with a paragraph...

I’m going to do an e-consult for my surgery tomorrow. Hopefully will get some reassurance before the bank holiday weekend but we’ll see! I definitely will be checking my feet a lot more often now (if I don’t lose my foot that is ) Thank you for your response. X

This evening after my shower I noticed this dark blister type mark on my heel. Blood perfusion is good around the blister but what the hell is it?? Of course straight on Google and I’ve convinced I’ve got gangrene. Any ideas (going to have a very sleepless night tonight worrying. Can’t say...

I will continue to take the steroids. Just never expected such a big jump. Never seen my blood sugar in double figures (even after a bar of galaxy caramel) and to read 11.2 after some toast and eggs is shocking to me.

11.2mmol 2 hours post meal!! It was only eggs on low carb toast. 1.5g of carbs that meal and it’s still spiked to 11.2

1 to 2 weeks to settle down :( so potentially 3 weeks of high blood sugars :( just wanted to start using my CMG. Going to give that 3 weeks to start trying that. It’s of course only the first day and it’s not making me hungry yet. Bit scared of eating as I know my blood sugars are going to go...

Thank you for your response

T Thank you for your response. It was just such a shock seeing it that high, when I’m normally around 5 mark before meals. Think I need to be kinder to myself. Would you say to stop testing for a few days as I’m sure I’ll panic myself or do you think I should continue to test?

Been feeling ill for weeks so went the doctors yesterday and was diagnosed with a chest infection, due to having asthma also I was given a course of oral steroids for 5 days. Took my first 8 tablets of steroids this morning and checked my blood sugar and it’s 9.0!! My blood sugar is never that...

I don’t have any foods that make me feel yucky. I’m quite lucky in that respect. Very lucky to not have any symptoms (yet) either. I did test after 3 hours but it was reading the same 6.8. Had done my blood sugar about an hour ago (4 1/2 hours after the McDonald’s) before some toast for dinner...
