I'm on my second sensor now and it's accurate to within 0.5 mmol/l most of the time so quite impressive. It's made me notice that I am having hypos in the night whilst I'm asleep so I'm now able to correct that. It's also addictive to try and keep levels tight which is a good thing. Highly...

Ok got it and set it up fine. No pain on insertion. First test 5.1 so I double checked it with my accu check and that said 5.0 so really impressed so far.

It arrives in an hour or so. So excited

Ordered. Now just playing the waiting game.

Good enough for me, will order now. Cheers.

Hi guys. Just about to pull the trigger and order one of these. What I want to know is, is it worth it? I've read loads of mixed reviews and I'm really not sure about the accuracy of it. I'm t1 and sugars at the moment are running quite high. Ok I'll tell the truth I'm getting a bit lazy as far...

8.7

Oh brill thanks for the reply.

But surely with less carbs you need less insulin so I'm far more likely to get ketoacidosis?

I've been taught next to nothing by the dn so I need all the advice I can get. What is ketosis? I've heard its caused by the lchf diet and its supposed to be a bad thing?

Brilliant thanks guys. Got a blood test tomorrow morning. Would they have all the results from it or just the ones they ask for?

No I haven't had a blood test in a few months. I'll book one in for next week

Hi guys. Been a couple of weeks since I started lchf now and I feel great. Bs results are coming down and I've lost 3kilos so far. My worry is, it all seems a bit too good to be true. Are there any 'dangers' to eating this way on a permanent basis? I mean my cholesterol must be rising with all...

Brill thanks guys. Bloods were 6.7 before my lunch of fruit and berrys, 2 hours later just before my dinner and it was 6.9 with 2units novorapid. Well happy.

Hi guys. Just switched to a low carb diet. I've been type 1 for 3 years now and had enough of terrible sugar levels. Just want to check over my diet with you to make sure it looks OK. B: 11am - 2/3 egg omelette with bacon mushrooms and cheese. L: 3pm - 100% Greek style yoghurt with...

I'm not the best at giving out advice but you really need to contact your hospitals diabetic clinic first thing in the morning and explain everything to them. This forum is fantastic for giving out advice, but it's impossible without you giving us details on diet etc.... Hope you get it sorted soon.

Hi Jack. Highest I've been is 26 and lowest is 1.9

Morning. 4.7 for me. God I'm getting good at this

Definitely more stable now even after just 1 low carb meal. Was 8.3 2 hours ago and took 2 units of insulin and now I'm at 7.9.

Oh ok. Thanks for the advice. I was 10.3 before bedtime but had some weetabix about an hour before. Maybe had too much insulin with it. Just had a low carb omelette with bacon mushroom and cheese for breakfast. My first ever low carb brekkie so will see how that goes in an hour or so.
