I’m in same boat, but I don’t eat rice, pasta and not had wraps for ages. You can get certain wraps that are lower carb. Deci de d to make appointment with a private Endocrinologist. My usual nurse is off sick and I can’t rely on the other as she doesn’t know me.

Will they not give you a glucose meter kit? It’s so variable who gets them

I can’t believe this is happening! I get my strips, lancets in prescription, Berkshire. Sadly my regular nurse is away I’ll but hopefully the other nurse is amenable as she prescribed me a months Libre 2!

Yes it is, see my post below.

You need to make a formal complaint to the hospital, you’ll need to go through PALS as this is the protocol. Your treatment is outrageous and negligent in my view. @conniecar @Pipp, I agree but you HAVE to go through PALS first this is my experience with a recent hospital complaint and then...

Have you tried a Still on monitor? You can try a free one from Libre. I’m trying one at the moment because I had Op on 20/3 and it’s affected my readings. I am low Carb, high protein, have been since I was diagnosed. Only take Empagliflozin. Really really do not want insulin until I have too.

Well I gave up on metformin too, couldn’t bare it. My digestive system does NOT like it and changed to Empagliflozin, didn’t make any difference before or after meal.

I became T2D virtually without any warnings. My HbA1C was 138! Long story. I had been on Metformin, my digestive system didn’t like It! I’m now on Empagliflozin and have been for some time but the big thing with me was a Low Carb high protein diet. T2D can be inherited, I know through my...

No, definitely not an option for me. I eat Low Carb high protein. That would shoot my BG’s up. Bread is high carb, I do eat a little home made. Bread n butter pudding has far to higher carbs with the bread, sugar and even the dried fruit

Well photo was too large had Mozzarella sliced with tomato, rocket, cucumber drizzled with olive oil and lemon flavoured balsamic vinegar, nuts. 3 small figs for lunch :))Photo failed apparently too big

You can get ️ flour for gluten free. I’ve had a Panasonic bread baker for years and made gluten free bread for a friend in it. I use ordinary milled bread flour for my bread, mix of white and whole wheat or a grain and add a good scoop of mixed seeds to hopefully lower the glucose spike I only...

I was given a testing kit in hospital because I was taken into hospital in 06/21 with confusion and a VERY hi Hba1C at 138. So my drs surgery didn’t have a choice in the matter. It’s good to read the diabetes.co.uk website, lot of information and also diabetesUK.org.uk lots of good information...

Well had a diabetes nurse visit at 8am so had to wait till I got back to eat. Greek 10% yogurt, built of granola, mixed seeds, almonds 2 large strawberries

If you ate more proteins you can feel more saited.
