Sort of - I had just Libre for a bit and then added the MiaoMiao transmitter which converts it into a CGM. And full CGM gives you alarms etc, so you can forget about diabetes and just get on with stuff. Studies are fantastic, I absolutely love it!Thanks @Mel dCP I'm assuming you've used both, which do you prefer?
Hope the studies are going well
phone abbott and tell them its fell off and you will get a replacementGood morning everyone!
High BG again this morning
I also did something silly last night .. .. .. I managed to knock my Libre sensor off!
I've only had it 6 days
I hope everyone has a great day
Soft eggs? - my mum use to mix eggs and steam it and it'll look like silken tofu.I’ve had a bit of surgery in the mouth, nothing drastic, all voluntary. However, there are stitches in gums and so soft food, sadly no spices, is the order of the day. So far, soft wholemeal roll and soft cheese, yogurt, mashed potato carrot and swede, bovril to drink. Any good ideas to provide variety? I’m feeling like a proper old fashioned grandma with her bowl of pap. Ugh!
Thank you! But I am a real granny already, just one who’s trying not to keep her teeth in a jar by the bed.Soft eggs? - my mum use to mix eggs and steam it and it'll look like silken tofu.
Soups?
Smoothies - veggie or fruit variety?
Slow cooked meats and veggies?
If worst comes to worst - you can get those all in one vitamins and minerals breakfast drinks, it does have carbs in it though.
Grandma eh? Nah, far from it, let me join in and we'll be team granny.I hope you get better.
Did they not prescribe anything to keep your mouth wounds clean? I hope you're dosed up on pain killers and enjoy something off the food processing menu. If you have a huge pot, you can do overcooked stuff in it with sauce or stew, which might help you over the next few days.Thank you!

Soups and veggies that’ve been pulverised in the food processor already thought of after I posted, and bananas bought too. May just stick with food processing everything into oblivion. Only had it done yesterday and the big fear is infection

Well done @MeiChanski on two jobs.
@Robinredbreast sorry about the black dog. Definitely agree exercise is a great help. But it is always hard to motivate yourself.
The bin thing rumbles on. Waiting for Gp pharmacist to let me know where it has to be returned when full. As Chemist doesn’t want it, Gp doesn’t want it and Leeds doesn’t have a collection service.
Good result at Gp for back though. It turns out there has been more going on. Water infection for starters, which answers why I have needed 4 times as much insulin to keep levels down this past week and also suspected arthritis in hip. At Gp at 10:35 and by midday I had been to the hospital and had my X-ray, and filled my prescription. How fantastic is the NHS! Feel more positive now I have sought help and less miserable. Never had water infection in my life.[/
I hope the antidote works swiftly in your inhabited waters! No wonder your back felt bad. Big cheer for the NHS!
Thanks @slip Good idea, I'll get onto the DSN at OCDEM, really helpful info. Glad you're back on targetJust brilliantly put!
@SueJB I'd call your DNS and say you've been waking in the night with low BGs for the last few nights - they'll probably say reduce your basal, which you'll say you've done and they'll say give it a few more days - might be worth saying it's impacting on your ability to function the next day though and could you trial the Libre? (to get a better picture of whats going on) - worth a go?
One thing to note though is that the Libre is susceptible to 'compression lows' at night too, where if you sleep on your side and the pressure on your arm/sensor affects it's accuracy - so you'd still need to double check with a BG finger prick test anyway if you were to wake and scan and get a low reading.
Oxford are one of those CCGs that aren't so liberal with the criteria as some.
My BGs were good yesterday although have been slightly raised overnight but now back in target.
Cheers @Mel dCP good info even if I'm not sure I understand it.Thanks for taking time from studying to write, appreciatedSort of - I had just Libre for a bit and then added the MiaoMiao transmitter which converts it into a CGM.
