Yeah i will swap it out tomorrow and test. It's quite frustrating to see when i have been extremely good over the past few weeks.

I was 7.3 this morning (7am) which is the lowest it's been in years. My issue is its spiking really bad. I took it at 9am and it was 15.4. All i have had is a coffee, plain sainsburys own porridge and 2 sugar free polos.

One thing I have noticed over the past few days is my fasting level is anything from 13-16 and then it drops and continues to drop throughout the day. For example a drop to 7.8 early afternoon and pre dinner the lowest was 6.3. Can't work that out.

Typical diet at the moment has been. Boiled eggs at brekkie with a coffee (semi skimmed milk) Lunch can be chicken salad or some tuna with a sweet potato Dinner Some meat with veg and again either a sweet potato or without. Snacks are a handful of unsalted mixed nuts or some...

Didn't ask for results but I do know my last 2 blood tests were 54 and 59. I do have a monitor for testing. I think the main aim for the next month at least is to try and lose some weight and get used to a change in eating habits. Although it may go against the grain on here I'm just going with...

Forgot to update. Anyway appointment went well from a moving forward perspective. The nurse was very friendly and informative. Key points revealed from my appt. My liver levels are elevated. Fatty liver Cholesterol @ 14.7% Put on 500mg metformin Put on statins Put on 1500 calorie a day diet...

Mine was 16.8 at 9am and now its 7.8. Getting a bit confused why its dropping that much in that amount of time?

With a nurse at my local practice. Not sure what to expect. I guess I need to make a note of some questions. I am concerned over a strain/pressure like feeling in my left eye and I feel like I'm squinting when trying to view my monitors at work. That could be unrelated and I might just need a...

Mine was 14 again this morning and late afternoon down to 11.4. Not sure why it's dropped so much from 14 over the past 2 days?

I do like lindt but haven't tried the 85%. Will check it out thanks.

We shop at Sainsbury's so I'll take a look thanks.

If I'm going to fall off the wagon it's chocolate that would be the cause. Any recommendations on choc I'd be ok to have the odd square or two of?

Strange one today. Fasting was 14.4 and then after lunch today it was 9.8.

Thanks. It's my wife that's the real hero. She does a lot more and has had to put up with a lot (me!) Lol.

Indeed. I could rant every day as I've 2 autistic girls to raise which in itself is extremely hard work both emotionally and physically. Me having diabetes thrown into the mix just after having on going kidney issues means my life is pretty hectic for various reasons. There is always someone...
