A woman I work with uses one as a fitness tracker thing rather than a glucose meter

Yes I believe quite a few professional sports people use them for that but Nikita is a Type 1 diabetic xx
 
Morning all. A 7.8 for me after a small overnight high but no alarms. I actually slept through for a change!
I too LOVED John and Johannes, fantastic dancers, routine and very dramatic.
@Lanny Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your day.

I wonder how he manages everything with the level of activity dance is. Exercise is the one thing i struggle with, i just can't get it right. I either go low and hypo or have too many carbs and go too high.

I think the key will be a consistent and sustained level of daily exercise and his fitness. I wonder if he also has a pump? Do you know @Kaylz?
For you @freesia, your Tresiba will make exercise much more challenging, particularly if you don't start with a low level daily routine and build it up slowly.

Well he started dancing at the age of 4 and just says he's had diabetes from a very young age so both being part of his life for so long I imagine he'll see it as second nature whilst those of us that haven't had to deal with it most of our lives will find it more challenging xx

No I don't and there aren't any articles I can find that mentions anything xx
 
Morning everyone! 7.2 not too bad
 
Morning All
A 8.2 This morning. Albeit a little late so FFOF may have played a part.
However feel good and at least it’s well above hypo levels.
Stay safe and have a good day
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
This morning
4.9 for me at 7:29am - 15 units of tresiba done
Then
5.6 at 23:17pm 2hrs 41mins after tea so I didn't wait 4 hours after tea which then messes me up knowing how many carbs to eat to stop me going hypo during the night - I had 3x rich tea biscuits 18g of carbs
6.3 at 19:34pm before tea which was chinese takeaway
20:36pm after eating - 135g of carbs - 13.5 units humalog food

Yesterday it was 7.4 for me at 8:09am - 15 units of tresiba was taken
Then 7.1 at 22:50pm bedtime - I had 2x rich tea biscuits
7.9 at 18:56pm before tea

If you have time I would love some feedback 🙂

TBH what he has on looks a bit square to me, more like an Omnipod patch than a Libre.

Happy Birthday Lanny... hope you enjoy yourself.

7.8 for me, but a really peculiar night. I had another funny turn after dinner at 10pm when all I was doing was watching TV. BP was 105/66 with my heart rate at 122. I felt as though my head would burst. So just went to bed as I had no energy, could barely get up the stairs. Woke at 2:30 needing the loo and couldn’t get back to sleep for ages. Then I was woken to an alarm at 6:46 with a BG of 14.5. Cannula was hurting, so I changed it. Thankfully then slept until 9:05. I think the BP med (Amlodipine) is not agreeing with me. Will get in touch with the GP on Monday.

I wear a strap too. Best £8 I’ve ever given Amazon.

I agree. Strap for Libre was money very well spent. I was a bit apprehensive because Libre don't approve their use but really feel they should because I think it would save them a lot of replacements.
I would have thought that it would make sense for Nikita to use one considering how physical dancing can be and the risk of a dance partner catching it during lifts particularly. Perhaps he wears a strap during training through the week but not for the filming when it might affect the presentation/outfit, although I have to say that looks more like a strap than a shadow to me, but I haven't seen the full footage, just that photo.
 
Good morning, did I say it was cold yesterday, silly me - it is still only -2c here right now .... Brrr, Brrr and double Brrr.
Anyway I got 6.7 this morning, so happy enough with that. Another PJ day getting presents wrapped, arguing with Alexa and trying to sort out what to buy to eat next week.
Have a good day all - keep warm, keep safe, and dust of your masks (Deja-vu)

Oh dear Patti, that is very worrying. Is it just new medication? Hope you have no more episodes before you manage to speak to GP. I had that thought about it looking square rather than round like a Libre but never thought of it actually being a pump but that would make sense.

Starting to wonder if your suggestion of a pump for me might be something to reconsider after all after the last few nights. Hopefully it is just a transient phase like previous years which will pass. I don't feel bad for it in myself but know so many long nocturnal hypos don't look good.
