Hello, I’m new to this forum and have just begun to test my blood with gluco navii recently after being told by my doctor I was type 2 diabetic. I live in Belgium and there doesn’t appear to be much support here as she just sent me to a dietician who gave me a list of things I had to avoid and that was it. So diet and exercise is my treatment. Testing myself was never mentioned.
On reading on the forum here I started testing my blood myself but find it really a lot to prick every 1-2 hours after each meal.
I’d appreciate any advice on this or if investing in a continuous sensor would be a good idea. And if so, which one?
Also I seem to tolerate foods that are usually forbidden, like a half banana, an apple, even some small amounts of chocolate…. Is this normal? I also love my dolce gusto coffee in the morning, which I was forbidden to have, but doesn’t seem to increase my glucose reading hardly at all. Any thoughts?
