[QUOTE="Peter_Sylvester, post: 1607605"] [U][B]LIBRE : A Risotto mistake avoided (next time)[/B][/U] (Friday 3rd November 2017) So here I am now, 10 days into my active use of the Libre gizmo, and I have been feeling pretty pleased with myself. I now have more information on the impacts of certain foods, better knowledge of the effects of timing on my daily blood movements, and by taking that info on board, I have made remarkable progress on taking the "spikes" out of my day. In the last 48 hours, I have been particularly pleased with being able to stay within what I call my "tramlines" all day (in other words, the target range that I set on the system). [B][I]Until last night, that is...[/I][/B] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171103/dcc081583a73e165f3660946445afa5d.jpg[/IMG]I am quite partial to Prawn Risotto, and it has made a regular appearance on my dinner table. However, after last nights "discovery" it is now on the banned list..! My bloods went up from 6.4 to 13.2, in a one hour spike straight after dinner...!!! It then took me 3 hours and a (very vigorous) walk to get things back inside the tramlines. [B][I]BOTHER - I MUST READ THE PACKAGING BETTER.[/I][/B] It is not Libre's fault, but without Libre, I would never have known that I have (probably) been experiencing this ridiculous spike 2 or 3 times a week... So, onwards and upwards - all learning is good, even painful learning is good (apparently) I am pleased to say that there has been no lasting "damage" this morning or throughout the day - but there is no need to make it hard for yourself, is there..????
