Love the term “ try dive” .
As for the instructor knowing a bit about T1D , my only concern would be his / her knowledge of not drowning
Love the term “ try dive” .Thank you sir. It was only a try dive. Loved every second under water. The instructor knew a bit about T1D as well, wouldn't take me down below 10! I was 10.1
A few of the instructors said I couldn't be diabetic as I am not fat!!! Soon put those right with a few choice words and explanationLove the term “ try dive” .

but I am still not convinced enough by the accuracy for the cost.
Never satisfied are they? Mine went down to 35 last year and I was told not to go much lower!Happy Diaversary @kev-w
Just had the best news of my t1 life -HbA1c has come back at 42, my lowest ever, should be feeling triumphant but of course also been told it’s a bit on the low side
Spike does that - it’ll give you a “rising fast” and “falling fast” alert, and you can set the conditions for it to go off. Only available on iPhone though.I was nowhere near tempted until my latest Glimp experience (i’m an Android gal so no xDrip+ for me) which is certainly better than the LibreLink (i’ve been running both some of the time so have a chance to compare). However, I still find it lacking and not accurate enough.
I work on a network performance management tool that allows the user to do all sorts of alerting, baselining, graphing, etc which I would like to see on some of the CGM apps. For example, alert if I am below 5.0 and the trend over the last 15 minutes is falling faster than 1 unit every 30 minutes.
I think one problem for me is that I am rarely “stable”. My BG falls quickly when I do cardio and can rise quickly when I eat (if I haven’t pre bolused far enough ahead). As a result, I usually feel hypo or hyper before the alert (which is one reason why I want the combined conditions) and the poor device isn’t sure what to use for calibration.
If I could get the NHS to fund the Libre, even occasionally, I would think more seriously about getting a Miao Miao to “play” with.
Mels cat to the weather, my working day didn't last that long and there'll be some not that happy at being cleaned in the rain customers, but my bloods have been ok, a little rise after first course of breakfast so didn't eat any bread, a slope down from not eating the bread let me eat it, and a couple of handfuls of nuts just then 5.6, I think I'll get the gym done nowish as I've the little un here for 10 days so will have a busy evening when she gets home from school....
If this is a sign of things to come I'll happily take it
@Scott-C . It’s still frustrating that we still have to prove ourselves. Having data as proof is becoming very beneficial to both parties.
Just wish that sometimes they would have a little more faith in us.
Have to agreee.I'm fairly optimistic about it. Cgm is a new thing for them as well as for us, so it's a learning experience for all of us.
We're further ahead in the curve because we're wearing it all the time so we're bound to know more about it.
All the docs I've talked to, at hospital and also GPs have been willing to listen.
At my last GP checkup, she said, "so maybe 40 is going to be the new 50."
Progress in small steps.

Mmmmm cake@Robinredbreast . Lovely to have you back. Sorry to hear about the job, but you’ve got to be , if not happy, at least comfortable doing a job. The chocolate cake sounds yummy, best we don’t mention it to @Knikki or @porl69. They both have a sweet tooth.
Hope you and your daughter have a lovely day tomorrow.
Colour on forum changed a few weeks back, can’t recall the reason but apparently there was one.

You can set threshold values, too. It’s quite useful.Dexcom has the fast rising and falling but it ignores the starting (or ending) values.
I wonder why there is more on the iPhone, most techies I know are anti-Apple because they stole one of the open source Linux distributions and I’d expect the geeks writing these apps to care about these things as much as the market share.
When I first showed my consultant my Dexcom he was really interested and genuinely took a great interest in it.
