Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="RFSMarch" data-source="post: 2314792" data-attributes="member: 410451">I find, with my Libre, wine makes the numbers go down. A cheeky shandy after a round of golf goes up (lemonade and beer being the sugary baddies)... but I also have to resort to a jelly baby at around about Hole 13-15 where I suddenly start to flag a lot in a round. I also find that my BG drops when I exercise (I know a lot of people rise) - just goes to show how different we are!I ended up having to use mine to determine exactly what spiked me and in what quantities due to the nature of the job (at least... in normal times!). Now I am using it once a month just to check things are ok given I can exercise to a decent routine and cook LCHF the majority of the time.I often get low readings and LOs on mine because I do tend to sleep from side to side and end up sleeping on it at some stage in the night. So long as during the day it gives me a decent read on my levels - then that's ok.GP advising me to brave the walk-in blood-letting department soon for updated bloods, but with COVID levels rising in my area (allegedly, according to the app) then I might just hold off and go with Libre readings unless they suddenly spike up.</blockquote>
