[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2444350, member: 6467"] It was my birthday last week (sympathy accepted) so we had a long weekend away and I relaxed my rules because having sandwiches makes life much easier when travelling and a pudding on my birthday is [B][I]my birthday, right[/I][/B]? Beer may also have featured from time to time. Anyway, back on the wagon and the Libre 2 is now showing 100% in range. I was still having the cheeky bottle of beer, and baked beans with my steak and eggs, but no massive peaks. I thought it was because my Libre 2 was on the last day, and they sometimes read low at the end, but a cross check with a finger prick showed the Libre 2 was reasonably accurate. Coffee with butter and cream for breakfast, a nice walk in the countryside, and my BG was down in the mid 4s. My one meal a day was delayed because we had a visitor and I suddenly had the phone shouting at me. A scan showed red - around 3.5 - and a finger prick showed 4.4. Definitely running low. So what is going on? My climbing back on the wagon means that there is no nice stuff in the house so how to raise my BG a bit? I found some old hard jelly babies and had 3 so that has done the trick but why am I running so low? T2 is generally associated with IR or low insulin production. This low suggest that the hormonal balance between secreting insulin and releasing glucose from the liver is out of whack. Perhaps giving my pancreas a bit of extra work has upped the insulin production but not the glucagon? Nothing is straightforward or easy. [/QUOTE]
