[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2298035, member: 527609"] The first time I did the paella, and it spiked me 2.7 at 2 hours, I tested again an hour later, and my figures had dropped significantly. But this was a considerably larger meal, and with alcohol. It was pretty much bedtime at the point of the 2 hour test, and given that I was sleeping off a few pints, I didn't think I'd get any meaningful data through the night. I didn't wake up with a dry mouth, so it certainly hasn't taken me right back to diagnosis. I agree that the Libre would be an interesting experiment, and it's one I was already contemplating. It's expensive, but I suppose you save a bit on test strips while you're using it, so that offsets some of the cost. I'm currently trying to work out how to get my strips VAT free out of Amazon (I can get them VAT free from GlucoRx, but there's no free P&P option, and that negates the saving unless I buy loads.) Amazon's VAT department is supposedly coming back to me by email. Losing the VAT would make the price of the Libre somewhat more attractive. [/QUOTE]
