I've got a little 'collection' now - a 'Trivium' one (With Bluetooth so it syncs with an app) which I quite like, and the results seem quite consistent - i.e. multiple tests on different fingers at the same time show that the results are very close. (The contour one is also the same in this respect.) These two both have costly strips, though. The Contour is clearly a premium product, though, both the hardware and the software. The Trivium app is not great.Yes the Contour Next One is a great meter, far less bulky than most just wish someone made silicone skins for them as I find it a little too slippery xx
HomeHealth sell the lead for the Navii to connect to your PC/laptop, in order to upload the data. I keep looking at buying it, but haven't so far .... HEREI also have a 'Navii' one that I got because the strips are way cheaper, but it doesn't seem to have a mechanism to get data out of it.

I use the precursor to the navii and log everything into mySugr.I've got a little 'collection' now - a 'Trivium' one (With Bluetooth so it syncs with an app) which I quite like, and the results seem quite consistent - i.e. multiple tests on different fingers at the same time show that the results are very close.

I'd do a cautious amount of insulin and keep topping up as I ate.... perhaps 2/3 doses.Good morning! 7'1 today. It seems like I didn't need that basal reduction yesterday, as I went a bit higher than usual, but the numbers were still quite good. Just back to normal dose today.
Yesterday at work we got to taste the new dinner menu. It was a cool experience, lovely food, interesting explanations from the chef...But got me thinking, how would you even bolus for something like a menu tasting?? 18 different dishes, completely different to each other, one or two forkfuls of each...😱
AGAIN - Are you serious man!! Do you have any left over crumbs you could throw my way Dez?
Very poor Barbara. Milk was a luxury, in fact food was a luxury. Mam sent me up chimneys at 5 and downt pit at 8 when I got too big for that job. I was so hungry I ate pattern ont plate! We dressed in rags and never had any shoes. Pancake Day was just a fantasy as was Christmas and Easter. The one time we celebrated Shrove Tuesday was the day I brought some “glue” home from school. It was just flour and water and I was starving, mam made a pancake and fried it ont open fire and we shared it between the 12 of us. I’ve never celebrated the day since.Happy St David's day to all.
Libre said 3.9 when I first woke up so I munched on a JB whilst I injected my Levemir and then went back to sleep for an hour and got up on 4.7. My Libre graph isn't showing any red so looks like I have got away with that and perhaps have the opportunity to manage a Unicorn Day today (Congrats to @freesia on yours yesterday) I won't be doing pancakes as I have no "off switch" and it will disrupt my low carb way of eating and I am just really enjoying being on an even keel with that at the moment. @eggyg I am not sure what sort of poor household you came from but even in ours we could afford milk to make our pancakes. We always had butter, sugar and lemon juice on ours. I am not sure why when no one else I know melted butter on them but we always did. 🙄 Maybe I will make a low carb chaffle pancake or two if I have time later and have it with black pudding, salad leaves, tomato and mayonnaise.
@Lucyr So sorry to hear you are in hospital. Really hope they figure out what is going on this time. Please keep us updated.
@harbottle and @MeeTooTeeTwo Looking like we have two strong contenders for the 2022 HS championship already and it is only Feb. Well done guys!
@AndyYates and @THOMASF Welcome to the thread. The "average" part of the thread has now largely been dropped and we usually just post our daily waking reading, although even that often comes second to the chit chat or is largely just an excuse to come and touch base with everyone. Feel free to continue posting your "7 day average" if you wish but just wanted to encourage you to come and post every day and post your morning reading if you would like, rather than just once a week.... and feel free to share any bits of information about your day (diabetes or otherwise) if you would like to. Look forward to getting to know you both better.
And if it was really frosty, you lit it!All 15 of us had to huddle around a candle to keep warm
