[QUOTE="dunelm, post: 2149667, member: 179219"] Hm. We certainly know that there are some things that we do not know but at the same time we need to think about what we do know - lot’s of people do not know what they know. We do have to think about what we are thinking about. I know that if I eat too much protein then I may as well be eating carbs - it’s like eating the contents of a tin of sweet corn - just cut the corner and chuck the contents down the loo. I also know that I have a reading of say 4.3 then I can eat a bit more than if it reads 5.1. The beauty of the Libre is that you get a graph of eight hours previous to your reading and that graph enables me to extrapolate, in some small way, to what will happen if I choose wrongly (ingredients and portion size). If there is no practical solution - i.e. if I get a nasty upward trend then I fall back on what worked the last time - usually a bit of cheese or a few nuts and fluids - plain water or lots of tea and then walk.
