[QUOTE="Mungobean, post: 2433810, member: 545261"] An update. I spoke to my GP for a long time this morning and he got the community diabetes team to call me. They are loaning me a Libre swiper for a couple of weeks, which is good, as I am thinking of funding it myself, so it will be good to see how I get on with the stickiness and also I would need to upgrade my phone, so I can see if I feel it’s worthwhile. While I’m not getting any nutrition, I’m going to stop the basal insulin and they can see how my numbers look and I have to ring them if my sugars get to double figures. I like the idea of getting an alarm if my numbers get too low, although I am presuming (hoping) that if I’m not getting the nutrition, my sugars should be fairly stable, especially if I’m not having the insulin. None of this is going to work in the long term though, because I can’t go without nutrition forever and the feed really does make my numbers rocket. Still, I feel as though I got somewhere today.
