[QUOTE="LadyLovely, post: 2136697, member: 392878"] I've just bought the starter pack to see what effect specific foods and exercise have so will be keeping a diary of sorts to monitor it over the next month. I'm not sure I can afford to use Libre every month. It's taken me a while to pluck up the courage to put the sensor on but it was much easier than I anticipated! For those that start testing 24 hours after placing a new sensor to gain more accurate readings, do I presume you activate it on the reader at that point too rather than when first placing it? I have managed to get my BG down to non diabetic levels which has surprised me. I follow a low carb diet but do have the occasional high carb item. I've also started swimming again. I do find that I have very low energy levels, brain fog, tingling toes and fingers, headache when I first wake up plus sometimes feeling ravenously hungry after meals. I've talked to the DN about this and she thinks they are not related but I'm not sure how much of an expert she is. A year ago I had background retinopathy but this has now been reversed, thank goodness. Appreciate any thoughts you may have. [/QUOTE]
