am pretty sure that I have read on the forums that the SD Codefree measures a couple of points higher than other meters. Is this right? My readings are consistently a couple of points higher than in the past. Probably I'm kidding myself but I don't know what else would be doing this as I have...

Can anyone help me. When I start to fill in the registration page it already has my user name in the email address book and is I delete that and put my proper email address in the box, then it tells me this email is already in use. I'm not the most clued up person but I can't seem to work...

I had to see the phlebotomist for my blood test prior to my annual diabetic review in a fortnight. When she looked on the screen she said that the gp had tested for this three weeks ago- never told me - and it had gone up slightly to 53. Last year it was 7.2, so how can I work out the rise...

I had a very disturbed night, really severe heartburn/acid reflux and copious sweating all over but I was cold not hot. It went on for a couple of hours and I felt awful. I didn't know what had set it off, I have had this reaction several times if I have eaten starch or sugar but not for many...

Flax crackers Measure six tablespoons of ground golden flax meal into a mixing bowl. Add a few shakes of dried dill, onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper and mix well. Add half a small glass of water and mix until all the ingredients come together, then let it 'rest' for a couple of...

Hi, wonder if anyone can give me some help here. I am due for some surgery at the end of November and tomorrow am going for the pre-op assessment and wondered what I should ask about their care of me whilst I'm in their hands (bit scary that). I am low carb and testing my bg several times a...

all my good intentions to stick to my low carb guns flew out the window. She did not look a happy bunny to start with (and was stick thin too) and when I said I was low carbing she nearly bit my head off asking ' who advised you to stop eating carbohydrates'. I sort of stuttered about the net...

I've probably posted in the wrong place but can anyone tell me what to use to make gravy. The weather is miz today and I was thinking of stews and casseroles and then realised that with no flour or squidged up potato, they wouldn't be nice and thick and comforting. :( Is Bisto powder or...
