I am the same with bread ...I love it ...would rather have "good " bread than a steak .
I used to be the same in my younger days. I would decide to go on a diet and then my mum invariably would make bread! I worked out if I ate nothing else I could eat 8 buns a day and still be below my calorie target. IMO there is nothing to compare with the smell of baking bread. and then to eat it straight from the oven. with lots of butter. Husband on the other hand prefers the soft, white tasteless stuff you get from a supermarket. I despair of him sometimes.... He's got no soul..

Good news -Five point seven on the contour next - a number which is so close to “ normal” levels I consider good news

- I’m now at a weight the nhs considers “ underweight”. -

Concerned ? Yes

Monitoring? Yes


Worried ?

libre 5.6 trying 8 units today (dsn has said to only lower every 3 days as toujeo can still be in system for upto 72 hours?), called dsn yesterday again really pestered her left several messages after yesterdays swim and had her go through libre and carbs consumed. She's emailed consultants secetary to try arrange c-peptide test to get earlier than the mid sept appointment I'm going to ask for liver function tests to be done at the same time as well. I'll get date on Tuesday. Hopefully able to let them. calling dr's monday morning for more diazapan elma etc and hopefully when do get over wont be too panicy or if i pass out from hyperventalating they just take the blood!

Prior to swim 25g carbs during 24g kept on going low for a few hours afterwards, total carbs consumed after swimming 81g!

total carb intake for yesterday 183g :O

So confused. graph is pretty flat overnight alongside inbetween meals after comes down sitting between 5.4 and 5.8 . just goes low with any 'reasonable exercise' 30 mins walk/swim/stroll of whatever else results in low <3.9 fingerprick.
