[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2005487, member: 264425"] Yep me too. Even with low carb. Wouldn’t have seen this without Libre. Only way to deal with it is split injections. As regards difference in readings, my suggestion is that the rise is happening very quickly and putting the Libre into a bit of a flap. It doesn’t cope well with readings above 12. In this instance it is showing the immediate affect of the sugar making it swoop and then it gets confused. They become erratic before settling down more in line with blood readings. The chances are his blood levels also went up more before they were next tested, but dropped back into range before you saw them. This used to be the norm we saw before Libre, with testing before meals only. This is why some Type 1 adults stop eating a lot of foods they previously loved. As your son is only six I can well understand his desire to eat Cheerios. [/QUOTE]
