Love it.

Whatever number you choose it comes to 9; very clever.

Sounds like you are diabetic but hopefully your surgery will sort you out. You need to cut out carbs as far as possible. Toast and peanut butter are the wrong things to have, do look on the diet advice for Type 2 diabetics.. I used to have what I thought was a healthy breakfast; bran flakes...

What about your diet, do you very low carb? Do you get much exercise? Is it possible that the virus has had an effect on you; not going out, not sticking to your diet, the stress (I know stress puts my glucose way up), drinking more alcohol? I would ask to see the Dr if none of these apply to...

Sorry you haven't had the support from your Dr or diabetic nurse in these troubled times. You don't say if you are overweight or not; if you are getting your weight down would help enormously. I am a skinny type 2 but when I changed my diet to protein and non starchy veg I went form eight and...

Thank you, hug back. Hope your glucose comes down soon; it takes a bit of time to see if you will be able to introduce other foods. Sadly I can't but my glucose doesn't go quite so high and recovers more quickly when I fall off the wagon, usually when I am stressed about something. When I start...

Hi and welcome to the club. I too had a wake up call. I was a biochemist so knew the symptoms but can honestly say I had none of them.Working in labs years ago we used to do our own bloods and you could have set the normal range by my results. Wikh the advent of all the space age technology...

Butternut squashes are great as they keep ages. I hardly ever ate them as I have arthritis and they are so difficult to peel. Last week I saw that you can cook them whole in the microwave; I know I thought that too but they don't explode!!!! You cook the medium sized ones for three and a half to...

Rat. Small land mammal which none of us want around our houses. I rat very quickly morphs into 1000 rats if left alone.

I do low carb most of the time; just get a bit disheartened when my glucose is still high. I wanted to try intermittent fasting but not only got a lot of negativity but every time I start something bad happens.......nothing to do with the fasting and I am sure just a coincidence but puts me off.

What diet are you on, low carb? I struggle with my glucose as I am a skinny T2 so haven't any weight to lose. I went down to 6 and a half stones when I had my second hip replacement, looked like a tooth pick.

Very well done; keep up the good work. Hope your diabetes is in remission.

Easily done. Not sure what effect the "sanitiser" would have on the reading; might be better!!!

Yeas I did so used a different one, the same as Boris wears only pink, and it was fine.

I wonder if you have ever tried intermittent fasting. Not necessarily for whole dats to start with but just eating breakfast, and, if you need to, a loght lunch but leaving about 16 hours between lunch and breakfast. That works for me better than anything else. I would like to do a true fast of...

Did you know if you are in England (not sure if it applies to all of UK) you can get your vet to give, sorry sell, you a prescription? I has to get three lots of the same tablets for my kittens at £100 for a pack of 10. I went to Boots and Lloyds and they were around £50. I then went to a local...

I am no expert but worked in labs so I will just give you a few facts. There are people who just have high platelet counts, not sure how high yours is so it may just be you; I have borderline low count but as it never varies much that is just me! I have never heard of it being related to...

ALL LIVES MATTER, NO COLOUR BAR!

I totally agree with you although I am an atypical (skinny) T2; that amount would kill me. The guide lines most of the GPs/diabetic nurses give are ten years out of date. I can't remember which Dr has gone very low carb (he is a T1) and has dramatically reduced his insulin use and runs...

So sorry. I am a T2 and I don't have hypos; I am the opposite, when my husband stresses me out it makes my glucose high! He eats all the thongs I can't and even when he cooks something I could eat he just cooks for himself so we now shop, cook and eat separately. He gives me no support at all...
