Yes, I've confirmed with a finger pricker, but the Dexcom alerts me, and I don't really eat many meals, I graze all day long, every 10–15 minutes I eat something, this is mostly to stop the pain under my bottom ribs, and in my back etc, from my pancreas. On the 11th I'm having this morning...

Sadly, only 2 surgery rooms were open, and the protesters stopped doctors from entering Torbay hospital, as stated by the BBC news. And my sister who works there as a RN nurse said less than 10% of doctors worked, my dad was sent away until today, he's been bleeding from both ends all this time...

What are lift tablets exactly? And I really hope so to, my next appointment with my diabetic Dr is just under a week away, but right now I'm worried about my dad who has internal bleeding shown by jet black stools and blood, along with being sick with blood etc, he's in pain, he's bed bound and...

Just a little update, I'm still doing OK my BG has mostly been between 4.0 and 7.0, but after eating only carbs for just under two days I got it to drop to 3.5, and then one hour after taking 6 Dextro tabs it dropped more to 3.0, then I eat two jacket potatoes with cheese coleslaw and mackerel...

I'm now drinking a good 3+ litres of just water each day, but I know what dehydration is really like as back in Apr I ended up having delirium, from struggling to take on water, as I was being sick with diarrhoea etc. That's a handy chart, I'll keep hold of that. :)

Thanks EllieM & grantg, I did like you said and fitted the Dexcom One 10 hours ago, and just scanned it with my phone, but it was way off, It was reading 6.8, when my finger prick meter was showing 4.9, so I calibrated it, but I'm not going to even look at it again until tomorrow, I give it some...

Hi EllieM, yes I set an alarm for 3 hours sleep, I was not too worried, as I was doing this for 30 days before, as I was asked to by a diabetic nurse. On waking, BG was 5.0, I then had a soft bake bar and 8 more Dextro tabs and back to sleep, and on waking up today my BG was 4.6, meaning my...

I'm not testing in the middle of the night, I'm waking up to eat surgery carbs, like I was doing when my BG was staying under 3.0, but before I had a Libre 2 on, so its alarm kept going off, as they were dropping to 2.3 every night. I'm about to go to bed, and I've already had 8 Dextro tabs...

As I'm in my 4th day with normal BG (4.5 to 7.6 today), I'm going to switch back to my high fast carb diet tonight to see if it drops again, I will only be doing this from around 9pm tonight, till midday tomorrow, this may help the endocrinologist who's working with my GP and the diabetic Dr...

Thank you, @Lamont D, I'll look up the sub forum for reactive hypoglycaemia, and what you are describing does sound like what I'm going through, as I explain below. And it really helps me just getting someone's opinion, and what you and others have gone through, all feed back has helped with...

I've never done any fasting, my very low sugars of 1.3 were after eating 1,500 cal's in carbs, and most times when I've eaten sugary carbs of Dextro, my sugars drop within minutes, only onces have they raised and that was just 14 minutes after eating Cola Tops, when they went to 10.6, then back...

@Rosie9876 I see the G6 G7's are £52 + tax so about £62 for a 10 day, but the G6 on Amazon is an 30, maybe it's just 3x 10 days?, I've ordered a free ONE+, and will massage my GP/nurse on Monday. But the only next appointment available is 1st of Aug, so hoping they can sort it out before then...

Thank you, I've just done this :)

Can anyone tell me whey pricking certain fingers I'm getting no reading? It is always my centre two fingers on my left hand, the blood on them two seems like water, and the three testers don't work on them. And I'm thinking of buying a Dexcom, it looks like I need the G7, but will a ONE+ work...

Thanks, I will ask my GP Monday, and reading the endo report they have stopped my Libre as the reason they keep failing is that my sugars are too low, I'm going to try and start finger pricking in a bit, but I'm fighting to stay awake, but my morning sickness has now gone.

Thanks, @Rosie9876 this is smiler to my problem. I've been reading the correspondence between the endo team and my GP/diabetic nurse and I have "abnormal serum cortisol level" what ever that is, and I'm set to have a 9am cortisol test in 2 weeks time, and to record all food/times and BM, the...

Yes, 6 testers in total, as I've had 3 libre-2 sensors in my arms, reading both with FreeStyle 2 meter, plus the APP and I've now got 3 finger prick type meters, I’ve just used an Accu-chek and a Sinocare, both are saying 2.7 right now, and my third libre 2 sensor has just failed, that 3, each...

And I can't find a C-peptide test. And thank you for explaining this, I'm dyslexic, so find it very hard reading things like this.

My Glycated haemoglobin is: A1c 38 mmol/mol, today, and 2-3 weeks ago 33, and 4 weeks before that 38 again. So normal?
