[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2523696, member: 372207"] 'Breakfast' was definitely not low carb, but one of the perks of being a T1 is needing carbs in a medicinal way every once in a while. And on some days everything just fits perfectly, like it did today! I went swimming this morning, which always makes for somewhat unpredictable BG. After swimming I went for groceries, Libre telling me I was very slowly dropping. Slowly enough I felt safe driving home, seeing as I have my alarm set at 4.2 so as long as I drop slowly and not quickly it'll catch a hypo in time, even with the lag from the sensor. (Rules are different here, insulin users are not obliged to eat when we're below 5 although I usually do. In this case I didn't because I often have a rise an hour or so after swimming.) I always park my car in front of my house against the cherry tree, so I did the same this morning. As soon as I parked, my hypo alarm went off so I opened my window to eat cherries from the tree, which neatly brought me back up to 5.2! :happy::happy::happy: A mild hypo under a cherry tree is just the best, I want one every day!

The rest of the iceberg will go to the guinea pigs, I'm now sure I prefer endive for lettuce.
