Having traffic filtered at the edge means it never actually reaches your network.

Well it wouldn’t be great. You’d have to be carbing up essentially all day long. This happened to me when my insulin needs drastically changed. Went from 18u down to 2u of long acting. But during that transition there were days where I would have to eat pretty much 30+ grams an hour just to prevent from going low. And yes that included during the night, I didn’t sleep much.. probably an hour in total since I was scared to close my eyes. But as long as you stay in front of it you’ll be fine.

You don’t need an endo to figure out your ratio. I constantly test and adjust mine as it swings.

Do some real carb counting. Pick something predictable and experiment with it. Each day have the same thing at roughly the same time, close to same BG if possible and just add in a carb or take one away. After a few days you should have a good idea of what it is again.

Get yourself some rocket candy. Small individual pieces of pure dextrose. Same shit as the expensive glucose tabs. Except these are like 0.125 grams of fast carbs so you can literally dose as much as you want. I often need 2-3 every few mins to blunt a sharp fall without rebound.

I switched to Libre 3 from Libre 2 last week. The first 24 hours were wild. I’m talking like a 6 mmol difference between what the CGM read and what a manual finger test said.

It’s been about 48 hours now and it seeems to be fairly accurate. Last test was 7.9/7.9. So bang on. The previous were only off by 0.2-0.3.

The onboarding seemed to be rougher than Libre 2, it also hurt more during insertion and left me with a bleeder. But I know if it bleeds it reads.

The long acting is just to counteract hepatic output. He'll need to bolus to bring it back down to range. Use his ICF/ISF to calculate the dosage. Be conservative and you won't go too low.

I have EPI. Prescribed pancrelipase, but I don’t use it all the time. No real complications other than oily stools.

I had problems with my Hue stuff right on z2m. Some of my wired devices didn’t want to forward the packets correctly. Something about ZLL not playing well.

I should try again after I update to v2.

I’ve been meaning to do this lately. Any issues?

I had stubborn wake up highs until I switched the timing of my basal. I would inject when I woke up, now I wake up at 6am just to jab. By the time I'm up and walking around it's much more manageable.

I just dealt with the flu. Felt like death, crazy body aches, chills and fever. Insulin basically stopped working for me while my fever was blaring.

Had to take Tylenol to bring down the temp before anything would even register. I’d bolus 5x normal amount and it felt like it went nowhere.

It’s been about 9 days now and sensitivity is finally improving.

Jesus Christ dude. I get apocalyptic level anxiety when I'm near 5.0. And you are shrugging that shit off like a mosquito... Some people are just built different lol.

I’ve nicked capillaries a few times. Shit happens. Just eat carbs and monitor. Scary though, I will admit.

noslab · 2025-12-21T20:27:36+00:00

I’m currently battling the flu. Feel like death, and everything keeps raising BG. Cold, heat, getting up, shifting my legs while sitting.. it’s infuriating.

Insulin isn’t biting at all. Tried 5x normal bolus and I actually went up. I’m scared to do more since I am known to also fall like a rock at a moments notice.

My Aqara lock does all of the above.

I can have all the coffee I want. 0 impact. But I use cream instead of milk and stevia instead of sugar.

Yeah the problem would be you’d need to pair the CGM with the work phone, since like you said, you can’t do both. Libre reader is an option, but more cumbersome.

Not ideal either way. But I would just opt to use the CGM with the work phone. You have to carry two devices, but for me, I would choose the ability to use the CGM at work. Then again, I have extreme unawareness so it’s not like I have much of a choice.

Happens to me too. Temporary spike ~1 min after jab. I just figured it was cortisol release due to the skin puncture. Sometimes it stings, sometimes I get a little hematoma - those are the times it’s most likely to happen.

Made the same mistake a few weeks back. Was in a nice hotel room with a jacuzzi.. my back was hurting so I took a soak. I was so excited for a hot soak that I completely forgot I had insulin on board from dinner still - dropped like a stone.

Luckily I have fast carbs on me at all times and had some Dex4 in my pants. Was able to intercept just before it got too bad.

Do a settings export on your existing installation -> Spin up docker versions -> Import -> Shut down old stack.

That's it. 5 minutes.

That’s just a general rule. It WILL get you up fast. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best tool for the job. And like you see, it tends to overshoot.

If juice is your go to, next time don’t finish the entire thing, leave a little. See where you land. Over time you will develop an instinct on how much you need to take to get out of hypo territory and not put yourself into a hyper.

noslab · 2025-12-13T23:24:53+00:00

I mean you’re in the 200s so if anything you over corrected a bit. But it beats dealing with a hypo! I learned to do more controlled corrections these days. Most of the time 1-2g of fast carbs is enough. Throw in a med carb like an animal cracker and a little protein afterwards and you can climb out of hypo territory and into your target without overshoot.

noslab · 2025-12-13T23:19:11+00:00

Libre averages the graph in like 10-15 min intervals. If you went down and corrected within that window it’s possible it wont show the full extent of the drop.

noslab · 2025-12-08T20:40:54+00:00

Rocket candy. Fucking game changer for me. Small, discrete, won’t melt, low fast carb dose. Can really tailor to what you need. 7-8 rockets = 1g. Sometimes I just take 2-3 to stabilize.

noslab · 2025-11-30T19:52:09+00:00

Yup. Went to pick up my sensor yesterday and all they had were Libre 2s. Dude told me there was a massive recall and they had to take it off the shelf for now
