I've got my 6 month diabetic rv tomorrow with my diabetic nurse (who is the practice nurse at my gp practice) - which fsl 90 day graphs would I be best printing out for her?

Hello & good morning.

Do you not have a Libreview account set up online for your nurse to access?

Hi and good morning to you @Jaylee

It's the practice nurse at my gp surgery who I'm seeing and they tell me they don't have access for Libreview :bored:

What you could do I suppose, is either print out your graphs or if you have a handheld device with a reasonable sized screen?
Present it in digital format? Thus saving paper & ink.. :)
 
I know the last time I saw (in person) my DN at my doctors (ie before covid), I just showed her the graphs and stuff on my reader/phone at the time as she didn't have access to LibreView either - or now the medtronic data as I changed sensors (my hospital had access to the data though, but not my docs)

I think I was one of the first few at my doctors surgery to be using one so she was always very interested to see all the data on it :) (especially given the huge improvement in my HbA1c that is helped with)
 
Have you looked at your Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) graphs? These are the ones that are used to visualise your 'time in range' data which is as important as your HbAC1. I would suggest printing out the 90 day & 30 day version (on large tablet, otherwise revert to A4 - phone screen will be too small).

I use Dexcom CLARITY, so not sure of exact format in Libreview, but these should be available. I assume you use a Libre?

Thanks so much for this @oldgreymare - this is what I will print out for her to see - ie the AGP 90 day and 30 day graphs.

Can I ask why you say to do 30 days and also 90 days?
 
Wow! Your GP surgery DSN understands Libre.
I get the feeling the one at my surgery struggles to spell “Type 1”.
The only time I have spoken to her, she asked if I have ever had a hypo (after nearly 20 years of Type 1?) and how many units of Lantus I use in my pump. :banghead:
I only have the reviews at the surgery to get the blood tests between my hospital appointments but then they only do HBA1C and have no interest in anything else.
It is just a box ticking exercise for them.

90 days is the standard used to correspond to your HbA1c (assuming you've had a recent test) but the latter depends on your individual blood cell renewal rate and also is influenced more by recent BG levels. So a crude comparison, but helpful to check if your HbA1c is roughly in line with the Libre estimate. To check recent progress, you can look at either the 14 day or 30 day graphs - personally I think one month is more informative than 14 days, but if 14 day or 30 day are very similar you could use either.

Edited for spelling...

FAO @oldgreymare or anyone really

Here are my 30 day and 90 day ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) graphs - eeeeek! I think I'm going to be in trouble but I do try as hard as I can

70% is the target time in range for Type 1s, but many of us find it hard to reach/stay within this! If you think you know why your TIR has slipped slightly recently, may be worth discussing with your DSN.
