[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1736163, member: 68789"] Yes, I recommend you get a Libre too. If you can’t get it prescribed then Asda provides sensors for £44.00. Seeing a graph of your levels during 24 hours helps with spotting the times when your bs are good and the times when adjustment to ratios, or basal, might be beneficial. [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] talks of the rate at which different foods and combinations of food are absorbed and the Libre helps you see this too. I was diagnosed in 1969, aged 20, and I wish Libre had been around then, or even portable, personal blood sugar test kits, it would have made a big difference to the way I’d have been able to manage T1! It is a daily struggle to begin with, you’re right. I hope you find it easier as you find out more about the ways you can run it, and as you get to read and react to your own physical signs that give you a feel of where your bs are at any given time. This forum is great if you need to talk about it with others. [/QUOTE]
