Eek!
Yeah we are going on the SaturdayI’ve brought it down from years of running in the teens since getting Libre and going low carb in January. I feel rank above 8 now! It’s just a case of letting yourself adjust, but I do aim for non-diabetic numbers now, and my mild complications seem to be healing. But that Libre trace was way below my calibrated one for the night, Spike said around 5, which is what I aim all my devices to get me to. So while I get the physical symptoms of a hypo, my brain runs on ketones now rather than glucose, so I can think perfectly clearly and not overcorrect it - I’m working on perfecting the art of getting back up to no higher than 6 after I’ve gone low! If I drop below 4 I’ll put a temporary basal of 0% on for half an hour and take one 3g dextrose tab - two if it’s below 3.5. That brings me up gently and I’ll be back to normal in half an hour without overshooting.
@porl69 - did you say you’d booked Ed Gamble tickets for the 27th in Cardiff? Booked ours last night!
That looks like the filament...is it working?
Our world is a double edged sword that cuts both ways. With a fine line right in the middle.
Glad to hear you roof has been sorted.
As for your Libre figures OMG I have no idea how you cope with those. If I even start to get near to 4 I will have a slight wobble. Anything less than 3.5 and it lets do something to correct this. I suppose in my case its years of running around 8 and 9 for most of time
Eeeuw - how rigid is that sticky-outy bit? Defo can't be right
Nope. Had to pop another one on! Will call Abbott on Monday.That looks like the filament...is it working?
Will see you there!Yeah we are going on the Saturday
Hehehe. My immune system definitely hates me if it’s made me allergic to bacon and cheese... but the new one seems to be working ok.Maybe your super, high powered auto immune system is demonstrating it does not like insulin beta cells AND now has exerted it’s powers to defeat CGM too. Maybe...
That’s scary powerful
Quite bendy. I think it’s the sheath of the filament that sits inside the sensor, once I’d taken it off I could push it all back through. Quite interesting really, lucky I had a spare! Rang the pharmacy, and they’re going to put in an emergency prescription for me on Monday.Eeeuw - how rigid is that sticky-outy bit? Defo can't be right

I knew it was a bad idea coming back to this forum. A comment has really got to me tonight. It's just a stupid internet forum FGS!
I'm going to raid the xmas choc tub... :***:
Mahola - You have the Report button at your liberty. That is what it is designed for.
Yeah, maybe I should have pressed it too but I was angry and upset. Sorry!!
