[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 892487, member: 142835"] Hi NatalieJ welcome to the forum :) I have just read through the whole topic and I think your blood sugars could be much higher than the 7.9 you told us about earlier. the mood swings is indicative and you not being aware of spikes leads me to this conclusion. I see you are trying to conceive and I am sure your doctors will want your blood sugars well controlled for a pregnancy so first thing is to start testing about 6 times a day -- before each meal and 2 hours after each meal. this will give a clear idea of where your levels are. you will need to get more strips -- so when you ask for them explain that you are trying to get pregnant and need to keep a close eye on where they are at all times. it would also make a lot of sense to have a look at the low carb section of the forum as there are many delicious alternatives to the traditional potatoes , rice , or pasta based meals that is eaten in the uk. link here [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/low-carb-diet-forum.18/[/URL] good luck with your new found determination and keep us posted on how the bloods are doing as well as any expecting news all the best [/QUOTE]
