Got something like Piriton. I mentioned it to my male GP just after Xmas and he said oh bit of tingling is nowt to worry about even when I explained it was always 2hrs after my meds and felt like someone was giving me chinese burns on my limbs. I should have told him where to stick his bit of tingling- I do think there was an element of she's a fat type 2 so should just put up with it - our surgery is nearly all phone consultations now so he hasn't seen me since diagnosis now I'm over 5st thinner!

Crazy those phone consultations - how can they tell what anyone's health is like that way...... thats a big step further away from the holistic approach...
If it were a "bit of tingling" you would have said so but he needs to put himself in your shoes even if it were JUST a bit of tingling, what that would feel like all day long.......

Two of the senior partners retired early in part because of the switch to this method. Ok someone rings you on the day but as you say they've no idea what is happening to you other than your description, which he largely ignored. The nice lady GP at least acknowledged the drug may be an issue and stopped it. I do worry about those less pushy or informed patients.

Hi and welcome to the thread

That's not bad at all for newly diagnosed......well done

I noticed you'd posted a question elsewhere about reusing lancets. I didn't to start with but along with many others I reuse them for quite a while now.

Reading the figures for the week it's really interesting to see how some people have such a good level of control throughout the week where their levels hardly fluctuate by a few decimal points. Great going by them. Good to see a few more people have started posting in this thread. Hopefully we get some more people posting.

Do people want the summary to start from scratch again tomorrow or do you want me to show the figures from the week just completed? Looks like there is space for another week of data to show on the same line.

Your hard work is appreciated.
 
5.9 this morning after a string of low 5s, so some inspiration to work harder on the exercise and diet this week!

I have found that yoghurt and cream have a negative affect on my bg which is a shame as I am quite addicted to it. Im just tryingvto have it as a treat now. My best brekkie has been ham, cheese and toms but recently have had a couple of hypos afterwards. Can't win!

What kind of cream do you have? It shouldn't affect you much at all really... unless you pour it onto apple crumble or sticky-toffee-pud of course... :) If you get a hypo after your ham and cheese, maybe you could finish off with a few berries and a dash of cream to stop you nose-diving? It's never easy, is it... I hope you are well on this very cold morning...
 
5.4 on this beautiful Monday morning, sun is shining all is good with my world.

Back later to catch up with other posters, oft to work I jolly well go.

A shamefaced 6.7 after last night's chip shop fish. In my defence it may have been lower if I'd taken it when I woke up at 6 instead of two hours of tossing and bad tempered mutterings later.
