Hello everyone! Hope you are all well 🙂
I am a little nervous about asking this question as I’m worried it’ll confirm my suspicions that I’m doing something not quite right!
I was wondering if people (particularly people with LADA or T1) could post a screenshot of an average day on their Libre or CGM?
I seem to be able to keep mine only kind of stable when I eat low carb. As soon as I eat some carbs (and inject rapid-acting insulin) I still have quite a bit of a spike. I’ve spoken with my nurse about this who was a little dismissive as the levels go to what they were before a couple hours after eating. I don’t think this is quite right though? Isn’t insulin supposed to flatten the spike?
I have tried to experiment with ratios and if I do more I tend to go down very quickly. Ratios also can change massively day to day (think one day 1:10 and the next day 1:30, without noticeable changes in food/timing etc).
Hope seeing other people’s curves and their approach might help me make some changes to mine 🙂
