Episode description


I use the Free Style Libre 2 CGM from Abbott


It provides information on my Current Blood Glucose level,

the trend, and my time in range.


Blood sugar—Canada—measured in mmol/L or millimoles per litre

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Green Zone” - 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Yellow Zone” - 10.13 to 13.3 mmol/L

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Red Zone” greater than 13.3 mmol/L


Some medical tests report results in millimoles 

per litre (mmol/L).


A mole is an amount of a substance that contains a large 

number 6 followed by 23 zeros of molecules or atoms. 

A millimole is one-thousandth of a mole.


A litre measures fluid volume.

In the Green Zone, Yeah!


A nice almost straight line.


6.2 mmol/L is the current Blood Glucose Reading.


The Arrow indicates the trend which is flat.


Looks like I am having a good day.


In the Yellow Zone! But not by much.


The top of the Green Zone range is 10 mmol/L so 10.4 mmol/L

is not much out of zone and the arrow indicates a

Flat trend.


It is a sharp peak though so what was it I consumed that 

caused this? 


In the Yellow Zone! But not by much.


The top of the Green Zone range is 10 mmol/L so 10.4 mmol/L

is not much out of zone and the arrow indicates a

Flat trend.

I find it best to monitor my Blood Glucose and consume food and

drinks sensibly and so long as I am in the Green Zone, not

to be too worried by the "shape" of the graph.


Trying to achieve a perfectly flat line. I feel is "too" much.
