dsn has said this morning definately type1 lada, honeymoon period one of the lucky ones that can come off meds altogether still to expect to go back on insulun at somepoint in the future. dsn wont comment on statins says will need speak to consulatant i think as improving and avoided it last couple of times, will be in luck

I'm not too sure of diagnosis ... perhaps was a secondary type i'm not clued up enough yet to try self diagnose (which can be VERY BAD TO DO). Prior to diganosis - had a LOT of blood in stools alongside both being constipated very hard to go to loo. i haven't had much bloods at all from the back end recently I am taking senna.

really don't know what to think except looking promising for the timebeing. I have changed diet a fair bit. still losing some weight too (which i could do without losing any more ... size S in trousers now and they are starting to fall off too) was XXL a couple of months before diagnosed and lost a LOT of weight in a very short timespan. needing to shop for more clothes again which will be the 4th time since nov.

the only thing i know for sure, is going to continue monitor levels, and continue more or less with current foods perhaps slightly more still fairly high ketones.

a freaky four point one dip in the night. I don’t know if I squished the sensor? Is there a way of telling ?

Any hints or tips on interpreting night time lows welcome

couple of options avail to test compression low:

first is V/U shape popping back up to roughly same as prior to the 'low'.
alternatively laydown put some pressure on it whilst awake stay in that position for 20ish minutes and check. get back up wait 15-20 mins check again. would be V shape perhaps even a U shape during that 'low'.

6.5 this morning pretty good considering I pulled my lower back 2 days ago and did a work out yesterday! Hooked up to my faithful tens machine which is helping
 
5.3 this morning…amazing what no carb can do.
The bears are out…poop everywhere! Hubby and the dog ran into one on their walk last night. Although we do see the bears every fall we don’t usually see them this much! They are hungry and eating the berries off thenRussian Olive trees…a desperate act.
Gorgeous day today so I must get into the go garden and remove the dead plants and do some pruning.

15 mins upto an hour which does help but if I could sleep with it on that would be bliss! Back does not hurt when stood up, lying down or walking just sitting! In the car for 20 mins my back hurts and other things, associated pain. Better than it was and I think I pulled it getting towels out of the tumble dryer at work!
 
libre 5.2 off out a walk after breakfast. tiny bit of clear patches in the sky today rest of it is covered in dark clouds. suppossed to rain later on making the most of it before it comes

Thanks for your thoughts. It makes me think that yesterdays night time dive was a pressure issue on the sensor. I tried but couldn’t make it happen when I’m awake. . I appreciate the forums feedback though ..
