Hi All,
Thanks to the great advice on this forum I have got a two week trial from Libre.
I have installed it this afternoon and have got readings which is good.
It was 6.4 mmol at 5pm and then I ate a meal of minced beef and salad (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers and salad cream (low fat one)).
It spiked at 7.1 mmol and has now (1 hour and 11 minutes since) gone down to 5.9 mmol.
From reading up on it, it seems to be that this is a non-diabetic response. Is this not what should happen and that it goes to 7.1, my body produces the insulin and then it goes right back down?
I have lost 6 stone since I was diagnosed and do a lot more walking etc. I am now 13 stone which is slightly overweight. My initial diagnosis was in Jan 2023 when I was 110 h1abc, within 6 months it was down to 70, then 52, then 48 and now 38.
Is it possible that my body is working normally again? or am I just hoping for a miracle?
I'm going to have a grab bag packet of crisps tonight to see what happens.
