Thanks, I'll check that out in 10 days!

Just in case anyone's wondering... I'm now on my 3rd Dexcom One+ CGM sensor, and last night I set up the new one. I did the usual pairing and then had a moment of panic when it asked if I wanted to pair with device DX02.. - I just tapped yes without thinking. Of course, my phone now has 3 IDs...

Yes, the Real Bread Campaign has been on a seemingly-endless quest to get rid of "Sour-faux" bread - they need to keep going! This is why I bought a table-top grain mill and made my loaf from scratch. Sadly I don't eat enough bread now to warrant this, and it's one thing I really miss :confused:

I'm pre-diabetic, and I've made a concerted effort to change my diet and eat as low-carb food as possible. However, I allow myself a slice of sourdough bread every so often and my favourite is (was) the Tesco Finest Spelt and Rye Sliced Loaf. I don't mind splurging 22g of carbs occasionally...

Yes it was the cherry tomatoes! I did a test yesterday without them, and my levels were pretty much back to normal. I'll need to really cut down on them now (or maybe cut them out).

Quite possible - I bought a different variety this time, so that could well be it. I'll try the salad tomatoes instead.

I can run the same "test" without the tomatoes - sounds like a plan!

Bread.. yes, I know... but since I started my low(er) carb diet about a month ago I've been able to eat a slice of Tesco in-store-baked rye/spelt sourdough once a week for breakfast. My levels have been relatively stable, averaging around 6.1 mmol/L. Today however I had my toasted slice with a...

It outputs to PDF - very handy....

Yeah, I'm not realistically expecting anyone other than me to monitor my levels, but access to historic data I feel would be useful. I should probably just use the Clarity app to generate and print some reports.

That's a shame .. one of the very rare occasions I actually want to share health data with someone and they can't accept it. Mind you, I can still print out summary charts and other data when I go for my followup.

Hmmm.. I'll phone the practice and explain. Watch this space!

I was hoping to get some feedback from my GP practice regarding my CGM data results, and both Dexcom and Abbott web sites suggested I get my GP's clinic ID and set it up. I just tried to get that information from my GP practice and they haven't got the faintest idea what I'm talking about: I'm...

As soon as I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic I started my lower/low-carb diet literally the next day. Typically I'll have been 80-100gm carbs a day. I'm now in my 4th week and have noticed that besides the weight loss I'm normally no longer feeling hunger pangs between meals. I'm also starting to...

The Libre app is very appealing and makes good use of colour, I agree. I'll be interested to see how get on with it - are you an Android user? You're right about the lack of NFC - no more weird positioning of my phone under my armpit :) - although if I bring the phone close to the sensor it...

So, after another problem with a new self-funded Libre2 sensor I've switched over to Dexcom (One+). Although the Libre2 paired successfully, getting the flippin' thing to make it past warmup couldn't be achieved, so rather than go through the hassle of yet another Abbott return I've written it...

Yeah, I'm getting the impression that no single plan has all the answers but I'm trying to concentrate on getting the right nutritional balance of food groups and taking regular exercise (my dog helps with that). I'll no doubt end up extracting bits of a number of plans to make my own :)

Just been looking at the Freshwell Project. Wow! What a lot of good info - seems I've been more-or-less on the right lines based on my own food research , but a couple of foods that I eat on a regular basis need to go. There seems to be quite a difference between the Second Nature and Freshwell...

I got a follow up email from a named contact there so I contacted them, CC the support team. I'm sure I'll hear something quickly, otherwise I'll make use off your suggestion. My replacement Libre2 is apparently on its way from Abbott, and they want the old one back :depressed: Maybe my skin...

Tut! Well that worked well - for about 5 minutes :mad:. I read the instructions, applied the sensor to my abdomen. Paired successfully (if a little slowly) and then the warmup started. After about 5 minutes it just failed. I removed it with difficulty and emailed Dexcom - not a good start. Oh...
