Put it on last night, didn't realise I had to wait an hour to get going but soon got the hang of it.
I set my range from 3.9 to 7.8 which I realise is tight but I felt like braving it.
Breakfast was a bacon & egg butty with acouple of choclate biscuits to wash down the end of my coffee, approx 50g carbs.
Lunch was a toastie with a bag of crisps & a coke zero, approx 42g carbs.
Dinner was a Thai red curry with rice & naan bread, approx 75g carbs.
My first takeaway is how low I go, especially during the night.
That 2.9 at 6am couldn't have been a compression low as I slept on my back.
I got up then & let the dog out to do his business, by the time I came back to bed it scanned in the 4s so who knows.
No evidence of DP which matches what my meter had been telling me, my normal fastings are in the low 4s.
The postpriandials were an eye opener, I'd normally test at 1 hour & 2 hour, now I see I was missing the spike at 30 mins.
One thing that impressed me was how fast I do come down, nice to know it still works.
I did check one 3.7 scan against my meter & got a 4.0 so it seemed accurate enough, also my 2 hour postpriandials looked very familiar.
My insulin sensitivity seemed to increase throughout the day with the largest carb meal having the lowest spike.
I have to say I'm very impressed with this device, to think what previous generations had to rely on we are lucky to be living in these times.
I'd love any feedback & advice on what to try in my next 13 days.
