Blood Sugar in High 20's and GP not helping, please advise

If you go quite low carb you may need to add some salt. If I'm just having berries n salmon during day I will add a slight sprinkling of salt to my cucumber...

I don't know why or the reason but I think we some salt in our diets....

If you are having bread or ryvita that will have salt in it...
 
Ok they do the german rye bread there plus their bratwurst sausages are 97% pork great for us and if you like them 2 advocados for £1.69

I dont think your Dr will give you test strips .. We are mostley self funding for meters and strips .. I have the Codefree meter .. Strips are the cheapest and the meters not expensive either ! They can be purchased from Amazion or direct from homehealth at www.homehealth-uk.com ..there is a promo code for the strips 5 packs - 264086 .. Or 10 packs - 975833 the promo codes only work if ordering direct from Homehealth
There are other places to purchase diffrent brands of meters inc the shop at the diabetes.co.uk

I've had the testing strips put on repeat prescription after telling them I need to find out what i can or can't eat. I'd told them how shocked I was that my usual prorridge breakfast sent me sky high and they accepted it without question, so well worth asking your doctor. They're only giving me 50 at time but I requested a repeat after 2 weeks so have had 100 from them in 3 weeks ;)

I compared sausages last nght,
Richmond thick pork sausages 7.8 carbs per grilled sausage
Debbie And Andrew Harrogate 97% Sausage, 0.5 carbs per grilled sausage
BIG difference!

That's good. Husband just called the GP's and they have given me some, hopefully they will put them on my repeat so I can keep a track of my readings all the time instead of when I just feel ill.

Result!! Well done happy: happy::))
 
Just eaten Shepherds pie and I feel awful, really sluggish and tired. Only ate a small bit - it was part of this weeks meals. Not one to be repeated.
Also, has affected my mood.
