Hi,
I've been using the Libre sensor since May to finally try and get on top of my control (I've never been great at it on finger pricks).
However, I've noticed in the last few months that I'm really struggling to get consistent control. Some days I feel like it's a breeze, my boluses and corrections work really fast, there's no huge spikes and I manage to stay within target without much effort at all.
Then other days it's like I'm injecting water and my levels just do not want to be within the green zone! My corrections aren't even touching the highs (I have to correct two or three times before it even starts to come down) and every time I finally seem to get it back down it'll go straight back up and just hover around 15.
I've been keeping track and it's nothing to do with dodgy insulin vials, my carb and correction ratios are correct, I'm not eating anything different or exercising more or less. It's nothing to do with my time of the month either (it happens quite frequently, I'd say maybe once or twice a week on average but not on similar days)
I literally have no idea why some days I can't bring and keep my levels down, and I was wondering if anyone else experiences the same? It's getting extremely frustrating!
