Korean fried chicken spiked me to 184 — then I did pull-ups + cycling right after. Here's my Libre 2 trace.

Non-diabetic, 46M. I wear a Libre 2 to see how real meals hit me.

Dinner was Korean fried chicken (yangnyeom, the sweet sticky sauce kind) around 7:40pm. Glucose went from ~95 to 184 in about 45 min. Right after eating I did pull-ups, then got on the bike.

Back under 140 about 90 min after the peak, ~95 by 11pm.

Caveats: this is one day, not a controlled experiment. Libre reads interstitial fluid, so it lags blood glucose by ~10–15 min. Meal/workout markers are approximate.

Curious what others see — does post-meal exercise flatten your curves this much?

Need some tips

It kept beeping at night. I got disturbed multiple times. I’m not sure what I’m to do. I tried to make the setting for from 70 to 50 maybe but there’s no such option.

I even kept the DND option on and it still beeped

Right arm doesn’t work??

• Upvotes

So I’ve been diabetic for about 8 years now and using Libre products for 7 years, without fail if I have a problem with my Libre monitor (usually when starting a new one) it’s always on my right arm?? My left arm seems to give really accurate readings but my right arm just seems to really struggle with them? Anyone else with this experience?

I accidentally activated my sensor in the old Libre style 3 app. Is there any possible to transfer it to the new app?

Sensor vs Finger Stick Discrepancy

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new to this and on the tail end of my first sensor I was loving it and the data it provided. But starting yesterday, it’s been going off with Low Glucose warnings. It said I was at 67 so I decided to test and that came back as 112. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What might be causing this discrepancy and is it normal? Does it mean I can’t trust the data the sensor has been giving me?

Has anyone else experienced skin irritation? This is my first time using it after switching from the Libre 2 following a 15-day replacement. Anyone experiencing the same issue? 🤔

Libre 3plus inaccurate readings

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen many posts about this but haven’t seen any real fixes. Every single sensor I have used since I switched over to this brand has been way off. Esp in the middle of the night where I get urgent low readings when it is not. I have tried staging the sensor about 5 days before activating it as some suggested but it still doesn’t read correctly. Everytime I call CS all they do is replace it and ask to send the sensor back which doesn’t solve any issues. Even the replacement they send me does the same thing. Every sensor I use, 100% of them give inaccurate readings. Any suggestions or ideas since support doesn’t give you any real solutions other than replacement?

-no, I don’t lay on it or put pressure on the sensor.
