Hello, I’ve been experiencing symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, tiredness, poor sleep, sweats, lethargy recently. I’ve not been diagnosed but I felt my blood sugar was all over the place. So I bought a continuous glucose monitor (cgm). It’s shown my blood sugar goes down to 2.9 mmol and...

After about a week of feeling really good about my blood sugar levels -- 90+% time in range, no huge spikes -- suddenly yesterday I kept spiking up to 16/17 and got down to 46% time in range. Measured on Libre 2 but also confirmed via blood pricks. I haven't seen numbers that high in months but...

It's a very interesting study. What do you guys conclude? I think that taking dates/raisin/sugar snack containing 15g of carbs 2 hours after a breakfast and not affecting blood glucose is probably because they had some already secreted insulin levels after their breakfast that helped remove the...

Hi everyone, Hope you are all having a fantastic early Sunday. To provide some context, my wife has been on a keto diet for several months now, we use to use finger prickle and then moved to Freestyle libre 2. In the beginning, we use both measurements, however after finding a significant...

Does somebody know what the normal value is at 60 min during OGTT? I understand that it should be under 7.8 after 2hrs but I cannot find proper info about the 60min requirement. Also, let’s say that the 2hr value is under 7.8, but any value before (except for fasting glucose) is above this...

Hello. Wondering if anyone can shed some insight for me with my type 1 diabetes. Recently, I've noticed that after breakfast my sugar levels have been spiking, this doesn't matter whether its 5am on the weekends before work or 9/10am during the week when im not at work. I won't fill in on all...

Hi all, Since I got myself a libre I have had better understanding how my blood sugar are during the day. Instead of testing 3x a day it gives me the choice to scan whenever I want. So, I have been scanning. Before breakfast 30 minute after 1 hour after 2 hour after I have had a really...

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm 24, average build. Thanks for taking the time to read this. My blood sugar levels are usually 9-10mmol and that's normal for me as less than that tends to makes me feel low. My fast acting insulin is novarapid, 10 carbs per 1 unit. My long acting insulin is...

I have type one diabetes, insulin-dependent for the last 19 years. I am on an insulin pen (had a pump whilst I was a teenager). Usually, my control is pretty good. I have started using the mysugr app which has helped even more. But sometimes it recommends too much or too little insulin which I...

Hello, I've just joined the forum on behalf of my Dad, who is a well-controlled type 1 diabetic, but is not used to using forums such as these! My mum died recently and I am worried about his blood glucose overnight, even though he is well-controlled and so he bought a Miao Miao, has...

Hi All, I recently bought a MiaoMiao reader after first discovering it last year (took a while to save up for it). The device itself hasnt actually arrived yet but i thought id get started by downloading Spike and browsing through its features. However, upon doing this i have discovered that...

I'm on a pump with cgm so I can see exactly what my blood sugars are and have been doing. Normally whatever time I get up (the time changes every day) in a morning there is a sharp rise of between 3 and 8 units (the lower I am to start with the bigger the spike) which is really frustrating and...
