I bought me some more scales for the carrots/almond flour, and used erythritol as a sweetener. Managed to drop the cinnamon packet, have a very cinnamonny kitchen now. The cake was just about a success - the ramekin started to overflow after 30 seconds so transferred it all into a mug. Did the...

Good luck with the eye stuff Rosemary - I share your injection fears. Breakfast: Greek yoghurt, peanut butter, raspberries Lunch: lentil soup, slice of bread Afternoon: cappuccino, followed by the seemingly inevitable hypo 4 jelly babies Dinner: chicken, broccoli, onions, peppers, 3 miniature...

^ having said that, I've realised that using hand sanitizer to clean my finger for a "proper" test when out and about isn't really working as well as I'd thought - thought to double check at home this afternoon when my libre showed 3.7, and got a 5.3 with hand sanitizer (ha! Libre discrepancy!)...

Yup, agreed @mariavontrapp Things that seem to make it wonkier: sunshine, walking more than 2 minutes, being horizontal, * looking * at a packet of biscuits.... I read this recently and it was a good reminder not to rely solely on CGMs https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10583651/

I seem to get a slightly higher reading on my middle finger than my ring finger.

6.0 considering last night was a panicking that my basal dose is too much and dont-care-any-more blowout disaster (9pm shop mission for crisps and chocolate buttons, went to bed on a 12) that's not so bad Not had crisps/buttons for about a year, they were SO nice

Some quite heavy swearing going on at the moment. Had an omelette, some salad and a slice of bread for tea an hour ago, no bolus, took abasaglar about 10 min later; was 5.8 before I started eating, now 5.3 (fingerpricks vs libre have been within 1.5- 0.5 mlolol today)

Can't answer your digestion query, but a bit worried about your hypo treatment.. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/looking-after-diabetes/complications/hypos#treatment ^ advice from diabetes.org.uk Mods, please feel free to delete this post if it's incorrect

I couldn't find anything labelled cream cheese in morrisons so I've got some of their own brand philadelphia instead and am crossing my fingers it's broadly the same thing..

Thanks @lovinglife - will give it a whirl this week!

Yep, much oops here too.

Quick question - can you freeze cream cheese? I don't eat it normally, and it feels like a waste to get a tub and only use a little bit. I'd really like to try the carrot cake recipe, so figured if I like it I could make/freeze a batch of topping for future use.. Thanks!

Not sure if they tested it in hospital - my main takeaway from the whole episode was their diabetes person telling me that if I didn't go on insulin injections I'd die. The diabetes service got me to do a c-peptide test about 9 months ago to double check whether I'm a type one or two, and said...

Mine was 160-something when I was on gliclazide and (can't remember the other tablet) and i ended up in hospital with DKA a year or so ago. I've since gone on insulin, my most recent result was 63

I hate the smell of insulin. Poor kittys :(

Breakfast was Greek yoghurt, peanut butter and chia seeds again. All was OK for the first hour - BG rose about 1 unit, dropped another, then shot up to 10 after 2 hours. Guess that means dropping the abasaglar 1 unit was a bad idea. Finally got my lazy a** to aldi and picked up some...
