    9.7 Reading Help

    Then again, I just tested and my reading was 27.8!!! A bit of mild panic and washing my hands brought it down to 7.6. Phew! Goodness only knows where my hands had been.

    very sad

    What everyone else has said echoes for me too. I am 56 now and have dieted all my life right up to the point where I was edging towards 20st. Some of that was under the drs advice, some on my own. I've learnt that if I try to 'diet' I become obsessed with eating and my poison of choice is very...

    Blood Too Thick To Measure?

    I had a problem with a tub of 25 test strips. Every other one wouldn't work and came up with an error reading saying it hadn't had enough blood, even when it seemed like a huge blob was on the end of the strip. When I opened new tub, the problem disappeared.

    Advise Please

    Egg & bacon or egg and ham for breakfast for me, sometimes with added mushrooms or tomato - or coffee with cream and a couple of bits of ham if I'm in a rush.

    Rice And Pizza

    OK, so I've looked up this fat head dough and can only find recipes where you have to microwave at certain stages in the assembly process. I've never had a microwave. Does anyone make this without using one? Can you direct me to a recipe? I love pizza and either miss it or make it and suffer...

    Confused about Stevia

    I hate the chemical taste of most sweeteners, and would generally rather have unsweetened stuff, but I've never tried Stevia. Does it have that awful chemical taste? Strangely, I can drink diet lemonade without noticing an aftertaste.

    Breakfast Inspiration needed ...

    I tend to have bacon or ham and a poached egg, but if I'm pushed for time I go more Germanic and have cold meats & slice of cheese. I also have nuts sometimes. Brazil nuts are like rocket fuel for energy.

    Massaman Curry - what to replace the potatoes with?

    Oh you people... I now want a curry for tonight's meal, but I'm in the middle of making chicken soup!

    low carb yeast bread loaf

    Like Hotpepper, my husband activates his yeast without sugar. Just puts the dried yeast in warm water and leaves for 1/4 hour. I, sadly, don't get to eat his bread as he uses flour, but his yeast is sugar free.

    Bacon and eggs anyone?

    OK, you've all cheered me up with your analysis - especially the idea that I'm much more likely to die in my car. Now to hide those car keys!

    I could cry. :(

    Link revealed between obesity and male infertility

    I'll mention it to my skinny, infertile husband. His sperm sit in a corner reading the paper or swim in circles!

    Palmdoc meter battery runs out quickly

    Just as a follow-up to this, I have contacted the Palmdoc company and they are sending me a new meter free of charge.

    Do you think diabetes is worse with poverty

    But along with poverty goes a whole host of other issues, lack of education being very high up there.

    Metformin stopped now blood glucose very high

    The DN at our GP centre can do all those things. I haven't seen a GP for my diabetes since I moved to this area 6 years ago!

    Metformin stopped now blood glucose very high

    But your DN is wrong to say you can't do anything thing about your BS - you can, by altering your diet, and you need to test to check on what different foods do to your BS. If it's not costing the NHS because you are buying your own strips, then the nurse's opinion on is just that - her opinion...

    Moving Country or Traveling for a Long Time

    We travelled round Europe in our camper van in 2010. At that time I managed to persuade my GP to give me 6 months supply of medications - but I'm on tablets, with nothing that needed refrigerating (though we do have a fridge). Then I got a friend to pick up a repeat prescription and a relative...

    97% pork sausages

    What do they taste like? We bought a sausage making kit, and our all meat sausages were quite dry.
