A rubbish 6.5 today. Too much protein at dinner and I'm feeling very stressed as I've developed hives. They started on the Metformin and haven't cleared up yet and I'm fed up.

That's miserable... I hope you feel better soon...

So feel for you, it's horrible. For once I had a decent sleep but feel lousy. Friends bugs I think :)

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!

:mad: That must be so frustrating.... never mind, you know you're doing well and so do we... I do hope the nasty thing goes away soon... it's a good point about keeping a sort of diary in case something stands out though...

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.

6.2. Woke up right in middle of vivid dream with heart pounding.

I researched 'panic attacks' after a similar night and discovered that many of our foods are full of histamines - if you overdose on a few it can cause that reaction... it might tie in with your hives, no? I had been eating too many hazelnuts I think, on top of almonds and all the rest... I had made biscuits with peanut butter and had hazelnut butter in my hot chocolate... on top of almond flour and flax bread! It was too much I think, so now I try to be more aware... I could not believe the long list of histamine laden foods though... I will try to find the link for you later.... maybe you should try to nap today....
 
This morning I was at 6.3.

I use a Bio Star meter, it has PC software to keep track of levels but only works in MS Vista or XP so I have made a simple spreadsheet with simple formulae and conditional formatting ...

4.5

For supper last night I had two Polish Kabanos .... long thin chewy sausages.

Interesting - link would be great when you've time. I was beginning to wonder about whether it might be nuts. Not knowingly allergic but have eaten more than I used to - no nap today as pub quiz so swotting up xx
 
5.3 this morning - that'll teach me to get too cocky: My daughter had a pizza last night and I thought my blood's been so good I'd try a slice (first one since November). Not only did I not really enjoy it, it messed my BS up for the rest of the night (never got really, really high, but stayed around 7 for ages after being 4.7 beforehand) and knocked me off my sub 5 run this morning.

Back to LCHF goodness for me now and a timely reminder that diabetes is always in the shadows waiting to pounce, even when you think you've got it under control!
