I wouldn't want to have a sole guinea pig for that reasonI think Guinea pigs are just so cute, also a bit of useless information, in Switzerland. you must keep more than one GP as they are very social animals, bless them, yep I know I'm a wus, but a proud wus
Carbs and CalsWe won't ask how you know this....
I haven't got a mobile that works and I have a lovely timeI've never experienced insulin without a libre. I couldn't even begin to imagine it. It would be like a world without mobile phones.
Couldn't resist googling 'calories in guinea pig' (as I thought carbs would be too much to ask, and besides, it's meat) and lo and behold My fitness pal comes up with a resultCarbs and Cals.
It lists everything else.
Perhaps you should try insulin without the libre. Just in case that time comes when you have to.I've never experienced insulin without a libre. I couldn't even begin to imagine it. It would be like a world without mobile phones.
It's a Top Banana award from me

I suppose there might be a Peruvian version of C&C.
Like @Scott-C i think CGM ‘s are wonderful pieces of technology
@Scott-C .
I guess it’s a lot like riding a bike. You never forget.
We both have had more years than we care to remember doing it the old way and this techno stuff is a godsend. We know though that if we had to we can still draw on all those years and get by relatively safely.
I find it a little concerning nowadays that the ability to “ ride the bike “ is being lost and replaced with getting a “ croggy “ everywhere. If you get my drift
Oh, I really wish I could have a cuddle of capibara's in my garden (or whatever the collective noun for capibara's is), they are a guinea pig lovers dream!Ah, yes, the capabara would have many more cals, it’s have to be a sharing capabara.
You go back further than a lot of usSorry but that made me giggleit's only in the last year that I found out about Libre and to be honest, as much of the love hate relationship I have with it, it is proving to be an interesting tool. Not perfect, but useful.
And yes for 30 years there was no blood tests of any sort and only one or two types of insulins from what I remember.
Things have indeed moved on and for me it's the pens and smaller needles that are the biggest and most comfortable change
Funny. It made me laugh so hard my abdominals hurt. Of course, you've opened yourself up for a response, so you have only yourself to blame. I used to love crips, but after being diagnosed with diabetes, I'm convinced keto is the only way forward for me. The motto I live by: If you're allergic to nuts, you don't eat nuts. If you can't process carbohydrates then why eat them?@Knikki and @therower , for the occasional meet-ups which are being arranged, I suggest we get on ebay, buy some old school heavy guage needles and colour changing strips and gently introduce the newly dx'd to these.
I was also going to suggest putting the low carbers in a corner and throwing crisps at them, but I'd probably get banned again, so I'd like to be absolutely clear that putting low carbers in a corner and throwing crisps at them is entirely unacceptable behaviour...
If you throw crisps at me, I'd be quite happy to eat them.@Knikki and @therower , for the occasional meet-ups which are being arranged, I suggest we get on ebay, buy some old school heavy guage needles and colour changing strips and gently introduce the newly dx'd to these.
