STRESSING THIS MORNING

Which for a type 1 diabetic is really good - I think - please correct me if I'm wrong

Yes it means I average in the 5s . I decided to go down the low carb route and we’ve got 3 dogs that need walking so don’t need a lot of insulin

So I'm averaging about 60 scans a day so double yours. X

I’m about the same as you @Ali11782. I’m comfortable with it!

Ah I'm glad it's not just me
Do you know why you do it so often?

Abbott’s ‘real world data’ from the first few years of the Libre suggested higher scanning frequently generally associated with better outcomes 🙂

@Ali11782 I’m very active and my BG is sneaky! My daily graph usually looks like a mountain range with high peaks and deep valleys. This is today’s BG adventure...

When it comes to diabetes management one (wo)man's meat is another's pois(s)on.
From the pattern of improvement in your HbA1c's from 2017 to 2021 you must be doing something right...

Oh its good to see someone else's graph. I love being active, walking mainly, x

@Bloden, this was my last 24hours. Sat high all night because I had a hypo and couldn't control my eating after it.

Same here. And gardening and swimming...I can’t sit still so the Libre is extremely useful. Ugh, hypo hunger! I could eat the fridge sometimes.

I can see what you mean @mum2westiesGill about using the Libre AND pricking your finger - it’s a lot of info!

Yes hate that feeling of being hypo and just can't stop eating. I would be lost without my libre when walking. X

Surely you have an idea of what your BG readings are likely to be, dependant on what you have eaten and any exercise that you have taken. The blood or Libre readings just numerate the actuality. If you have no idea what is happening, then you need help from your diabetes team and some basic training, DAFNE perhaps. Otherwise it sounds like you are trying to negate the value of testing systems and that makes no sense. Over...
