Jamie And The Broken Pancreas - T1D Jamie Lowe

A quick catch-up on where I've been and a replay of a recent interview with BBC Radio Bristol about mixing creativity with chronic illness...

Spending a month on a Dexcom has been amazing. I was almost able to forget about type 1 diabetes completely. I just let control-IQ do its job and all I have to do is remember to carb count.  
That was until I decided to snack on a bag of Popchips and it brought my whole world crashing down.

What fun I've had today...

It's been a crazy one and it doesn't help that since Thursday night my Freestyle Libre sensor has been acting up.

The trust we place in our tech was something I hadn't properly considered until I realised that I couldn't trust it any more.

Have you had an experience like this has your type 1 diabetes tech ever let you down?

Get in touch @jamielowetv 

In this episode, after seeing some pretty shocking results I come up with a plan of action to improve my blood sugar after a difficult month.

The Freestyle libre, like many systems of its kind, offers a lot of data. If you care to look at it.

The fact is, I haven’t and don’t really log into my LibreView account and get an overview of how I’m doing.

I had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn’t going to be good. It wasn’t.

All through December and into the New Year I have been experiencing the worst blood sugar of my life.

Before lockdown changed everything type 1 diabetes wasn’t that bad for me. But after a period of diabetes burnout, I knew that my levels hadn’t been great.

But looking at the data you can start to see the areas where you are going wrong, and it can help you work out where you can be better.

So working out more, carb counting, and eating a better diet will all help me get to where I was. Hopefully.

Consistency is key though! @jamielowetv
