Had weetabix for breakfast...bloods went from 4.7 to max 7.3 and then came back down to 6 after 1 hour
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
Using a cgm, I'm down to 5.6Did you test again after 2 hours?
In my experience the Libre 2’s algorithm predicts where the BGs are “now” whilst the meter is 20 minutes behind..? (Approx.)Using a cgm, I'm down to 5.6
Finger prick is 6.4
But I had some nuts with the weetabix too...with full fat milk
Yeah as milk is slow releasing isn't it...just still trying to get to grips with it all!In my experience the Libre 2’s algorithm predicts where the BGs are “now” whilst the meter is 20 minutes behind..? (Approx.)
There was a whole discussion somewhere on here years ago regarding reaction to testing with a hypo?
I see this consistently with my meter & sensor.
To my mind your numbers don’t seem too bad. But it would be interesting to follow what the milk does a while later..?
From my understanding, it’s pretty normal for even a non-diabetic to reach the 7s.Yeah as milk is slow releasing isn't it...just still trying to get to grips with it all!
Get worried when bloods go up above 7..stresses me out!
Got any links to them?From my understanding, it’s pretty normal for even a non-diabetic to reach the 7s.
I’ve seen stuff with “bio hackers” using this tech.
In my experience I don't think it as clean cut as one lag time. To me I see variations anywhere from < 2mins or virtually in step, to 20 mins as you say. Depends on many things, food type, body temp, air temp, current mental state, excercise at the time or previous.......In my experience the Libre 2’s algorithm predicts where the BGs are “now” whilst the meter is 20 minutes behind..?

Thank you for this...well an update...here's my graph for today so far .In my experience I don't think it as clean cut as one lag time.

If you want to do BG level drop over a fixed period, and be accurate (as poss.) finder prick is essential.
Interstitial fluid will always be trend based. Learn to interpret it for your individual situation, and always wait a while if you are in doubt of what you are shown.
Apologies re 'sucking eggs', but someone may find my ramblings useful. Unlikely, but it took a while to type.

Importantly, we found that even individuals considered normoglycemic by standard measures exhibit high glucose variability using CGM, with glucose levels reaching prediabetic and diabetic ranges 15% and 2% of the time, respectively.
It is interesting to note that although individuals respond differently to different foods, there are some foods that result in elevated glucose in the majority of adults. A standardized meal of cornflakes and milk caused glucose elevation in the prediabetic range (>140 mg/dl) in 80% of individuals in our study. It is plausible that these commonly eaten foods might be adverse for the health of the majority of adults in the world population.
There has often been a lack of knowledge about what expected non-diabetic reactions to carb intake looks like, even though there's been a fair bit of research around. This is from 2007, and is from the US, so uses mg/dl etc. so conversion table attached.Yeah as milk is slow releasing isn't it...just still trying to get to grips with it all!
