Morning all my sugars this morning are 9.8 on the Libre as had to wait for it to warm up with it being a new sensor
Morning all. 7.3 this morning. @MissMuffett, I was diagnosed with it about 6 years ago. I take EyeSUPER 8 from Greenwoods. It doesn't cure but it progresses much more slowly. Expensive but eyes are precious. I have the phone number if you want it. Apologies for going off thread.

FBG 5.9 on the Libre at 7.30, post cuppa tea and organising the carpet cleaner. Need to check on the decorator now and sort out the lawn mower. Hopefully I’ll get to enjoy the place eventually.

Yes- Nasty! Tomorrow will be better.A nasty 11.9 this morning
5.5 this morning. went to the gym this morning then home for gardening, gorgeous day!
12.0 again this morning on CGM however... that is with me eating much better, and my basal insulin halved from 40 to 20.
The diabetes specialist had increased my insulin again and again and my bg was still not controlled, and I was terrified that I would not be able to have my hip surgeries, so drastic measures were required. (reducing carbs seems drastic to me)
I understand on a factual level why carbs cause the high blood sugar, but it also seems surreal to make one change, and have such a significant result. I will increase basal a bit and see what tomorrow brings.

i am now finished week 4 of my no dairy (except for butter) carnivore diet. I wasn’t sure of anything the first three weeks, blood sugars were better but not great. I had some bad days. Then week four happened. I felt amazing, full of energy and not craving anything. My blood sugars are steady and lower than normal. According to my Dexcom (and a million blood tests) my average blood glucose for the past 30 days is 5.9. Absolutely awesome. The past seven days, it’s 5.8. My goal is a three month trial. I am extremely committed. I’m not having any nighttime highs, my dexcom graph is a straight line With tiny bumps, and I mean tiny, after meals. I have even seen a few readings in the fours…
The experiment continues.
