[QUOTE="fluteduet9, post: 1733576, member: 470729"] Hi, Brunneria -- I was hoping you'd chime in on this. From reading some of your other posts, I suspect we are very similar. I've been gluten free for 9 years now after going through he-double-hockey-sticks trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Bad digestive issues plus ever-worsening peripheral neuropathy. Then found some medical papers online linking gluten sensitivity and neuro symptoms. Went gluten free and resolved the digestive issues. The neuropathy has improved noticeably over the years but is still with me a bit. I did a gluten challenge for 2 months back then and the neuropathy was excruciating. No coeliac, thankfully, but definitely sensitive. To this day, I know when I've been "glutened", usually by a restaurant, by the digestive reaction and the neuropathy pain increase. Weird, huh? I wanted to ask about your Freestyle Libre. Do you still test your blood glucose? If so, do you find the Libre to be accurate? Mine seems to be consistently low as compared with my Bayer Contour meter, even accounting for the 5-15 minute lag time between blood and insterstitial fluid. It seems to be especially inaccurate in the lower ranges. Does yours do that? [/QUOTE]
