A1C and Freestyle libre 2.
Last Dr.'s appointment, my doctor lowered my insulin ratio. So, I thought YAY. My sensors kept acting up though. They kept losing the signal and wouldn't scan. When I called ABBOTT for help, it turns out the sensors aren't compatible with Apple Iphone 7. Something must have changed when I updated the software. Sooo, they…

frustrated and confused, how do you get ahead?
So this morning, I was amazed and delighted to test my fasting blood sugar at 124. I SO want to get down to 100.

what do you recommend for keto breads
I tried a slice of the Lewis' Bake shop 5 seed keto bread this AM with my morning egg. I gram of carbs, 40 calories, for a biggish slice. I think it is better tasting than the Sola sweet oat, but it still seemed to have a slightly peculiar taste. I think if it were eaten with something other than an egg, with more flavor…
