I'm cheating as have the advantage of a cgm 🙂 It's an amazing bit of kit allowing me to iron out niggles and finally (hopefully) keep a level basal pattern.
It shows things no amount of finger pokes show up.

The only thing I have changed is my bread, started eating burgen bread thought that would suit better, and did pinch two chocolates last night but only two.. The strawberries out a box of milk tray.......

I'm surprised that the change of bread might be responsible, Burgen is lower carb than most bread due to the soya flour. :confused: You're not coming down with the sniffles are you? Hope things improve for you soon 🙂

What is a cgm Sue ?, I am struggling to keep a constant bs at the moment. BS 15.7 this morning I had peanuts last night and think they may be the culprit. That or I am slipping into my bad old ways as results are all over the place in the day. Pete you seem to be having problems as well.

Hi TinTin, a CGM is a continuous glucose monitor.
Basically you have a sensor attached which sends the readings every 5 mins to your receiver so you can see exactly what your blood sugar is doing.
My receiver is incorporated within my pump but you can get what is known as stand alone systems. Dexcom have one as do another firm and their system is called the navigator. From all reports Dexcom is the most reliable and accurate on the market.
Hope that helps.
 
Thank you Sue, do you have to buy these things yourself ? and who fits them ? I am going to ask about a pump but feel they may say no as hopefully in a couple of years I will have had my tx, though it could be a lot longer than that.
