@kekcoin @raucao Yeah I don't think it's very "libre" it looks like a proprietary product.

@jb55 I thought you literally freestyled yourself a libre product. Didn't realize it's an actual name. :)

@feld was about 248 CAD / 188 USD for the starter kit. I think there might be a monthly subscription but we'll see.

nfc tap to take a reading is neat. I'm at 91.8 / 5.1 after fasting. from what i read this is pretty good. Time to see how high I can spike it.

after almost 14 days with this thing on, I find one thing really interesting: How shitty/tired I feel seems highly correlated with high blood sugar. When fasting it stays super even at around 5/90 and I feel great.

When I start eating shitty foods it spikes very high, and when I'm drinking alchohol it swings up and down and I feel shittier in general.

@jb55 I've been fasting for two weeks now. The one time I broke this, I felt terrible, was really bloated and ended up puking. The rest of the time I've been feeling great.

@beachbardave @jb55 What do you both mean for fasting? Something like going without food for 8 hours straight?

@raixe @jb55 I'm currently only eating one meal a day. I don't restrict what I eat then, although I try to maintain a good balance of nutrients. I have a large evening meal, the rest of the time I limit myself to water or black coffee. I still feel mildly hungry from time to time but my overall sense of wellbeing has improved greatly.
