This week has been very insightful so far! My biggest findings have been seeing the difference eating potatoes with a meal versus a more slow burning carb sweet potatoes was on how quickly my blood sugar decreased! My biggest question is why do I get low blood sugar to the point of the alarm going off after eating a small dessert in the evening? I would love to share my graphs will also my meals entered off my app but I do not know how to do this!

This one's for you @Michael Smith! Let us know if you sample any of these during your cottage weekend with friends.

This morning had a tbsp of olive oil before coffee then normal breakfast of bran flakes, blueberries and hemp seeds. Spike highest yet

One of the first things you'll do is apply your CGM. I use a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor, and don't worry, it's way easier than it looks. You can pick one up at any pharmacy (Shoppers, Rexall, Costco, etc.) and have it on in minutes. I made this quick video a couple of weeks ago when I put on my last CGM, so you can see exactly how it's done. Here's a walkthrough so you feel confident before we get started. I'll be putting my next one on Monday April 20th with all of you.😄 How to apply your sensor: 1. Open your package — you'll find two parts: the sensor pack and the applicator. 2. Remove the lid of your sensor pack. Keep this packaging! It has the sensor's serial number. If your sensor ever falls off, malfunctions, or has any issue at any point while you're wearing it, the manufacturer will replace it at no cost — that's been my experience every time. 3. Remove the cap from the sensor applicator (the blue part). 4. Peel off the full label. 5. Line up the two marks on the sensor and applicator so they match up. 6. Prep your skin — use an alcohol swab and give the back of your upper arm a good wipe. Do one more pass to make sure it's clean. 7. Find your spot — where your arm naturally folds over on the back is right where it goes. 8. Press the applicator firmly against your arm. Press and remove. That's it! 9. Open the Freestyle Libre app on your phone and set up your sensor. It takes about an hour to activate, and then you're good to go. We'll also go over this on Monday for anyone who hasn't applied one before or wants a little more guidance. If you have any specific questions, drop them here before Monday so we can make sure we cover everything!

Well this am I had one piece of toast with one Tbsp peanut butter, a strawberry Activia yogurt cup with 1 Tbsp hemp hearts and coffee with cream. But my sensor stopped working. 4 days left. Can I still replace it? I felt a little shaky so suspect my blood sugar rose quite quickly.
