I have been having a very strange day. Recently, my dawn readings finally dropped into the 6's and have been around 6.1 / 6.2 for the last 2 weeks. After 2 years of the morning reading being in the 7's it was nice to finally get there. That's why I was surprised this morning to get an 8.4. Two...

I did post this earlier but the thread is one which had been removed due to the Troll. In the thread on Liver Dumps xyzzy mentioned having a "turn" this morning and I asked what exactly happened? Reason for asking was I have had a number of "turns" in the past. We eliminated the medication as...

Haven't posted for a while as the arrival of a grandson amongst other things have kept me pretty busy. I do however visit the site and keep up to date. I have gone along quite happily since I last posted but recently I have been very prone to infections which has really mucked up my BG control...

I've been quiet for a while as I concentrated on getting my readings in order. I've had a few tests since June and I've made a lot of progress. Back in May/June 2010 I was pretty much down in the dumps, BG readings were all over the place and the Doctor was on the verge of referring me back to...

Having started off so depressed earlier this week I finally feel I am getting somewhere. This is my 3rd day low carbing and my levels are dropping. Started the week at 14.7 fasting and yesterday I was down to 10.2 and during the day I was fairly stable at 9.1/9.2 - still high but a heck of a lot...

I posted the above elsewhere today in response to another post. Instead of feeling sorry for myself over the 13.2 I took myself off to walk and shop. I can only carry shopping on one side as I use a crutch due to the spinal injury so something as simple as walking and carrying shopping is quite...

I was first diagnosed with Type II in January 2008. I was fortunate in that it was picked up very quickly as I was undergoing regular blood tests following major surgery three year before. My BG had been normal until December 2007 when I noticed changes but didn't suspect diabetes. I was treated...
