It comes out perfect on the Basic setting but she uses Gluten setting, I cut it down the middle then slice each side into 8 slices then cool and freeze in freezer bag, the other half goes in fridge.

Ah you have a bread machine! I have to do it all freeform - if I can't be bothered then there's a really great loaf that's on the shelf in Waitrose. Next time I'm out I'll snap a photo as I can't remember what it's called.

Does it not gave a big hole in the bottom?

Well if your clever/lucky and tap gently around the base while hot the paddle comes out clean so you get a gash not a hole.

What on earth do you do with your bread?! 😉

When I used a bread maker it always left a great gaping hole in the bottom and mine made a tall loaf.

Well done on finding a solution to overnights @freesia and I hope you have a better day after that good start. @eggyg might let you have one of her ginger nuts if you need an alternative.

All good so far thank you. Leading up to tea time and bed time are the tricky parts of the day lately. I must admit i'm partial to a ginger nut though

Hi I found out just before Christmas I was t1.im on tresiba and humalog.seem to bed doing fine according to my nurse.just started using Libra sensors but not getting accurate results?

The Libre is great but it is important to remember that it reads about 10-20 mins behind a finger prick as it tests the interstitial fluid not the blood. If you feel low, always check it with a finger prick to confirm even if the Libre says you're not. Similarly if you get high readings. I like the graph as it shows whats happening overnight.
It takes time to get used to having Diabetes but just come on here and ask questions. There is always someone on who has had similar questions or can point you in the right direction to find an answer.

Hi and welcome to the forum and the thread. Nice first reading!

Libre doesn't quite measure the same thing as a finger prick BG reading so they will often not give the same reading and indeed a finger prick from a different finger or even the same finger a few seconds later will be different, so it is a question of it giving you an idea of your levels rather than a definiteive reading. The advantage of Libre is that it collects data all the time and it gives you a direction of travel for your readings. Because it measures interstitial fluid instead of blood, there is generally considered to be a 15 min delay between your BG reading and the LIbre. If your levels are changing rapidly then the two can be quite different, If your reading is very high or too low Libre will often read higher and lower respectively than a finger prick but within range it should be not much more than 1mmol out. Are you finding it further out than that or did you perhaps just have an unrealistic expectation. To be fair, there is a 15% error margin on BG test strips so you can't take your BG reading as being totally accurate either.
