7.8 @ 8.15am. I do not understand as I had quite a lot to eat last night and also several Bacardi n Diet Coke. I expected > 10 ( I did have my weekly Semaglutide jab yesterday ! )

I have been told it is osteoarthritis in ankles and feet, but cannot relate to it in my hands as well, just fishing for information as they now tell me neuropathy is an issue ? Everyone seems to have a different opinion.

I am sure I am affected by neuropathy in my feet and ankles, but does anyone know whether it can affect the hands/ knuckles. My right hand especially is really bad at the moment, fingers very stiff and when trying close to fist the knuckles really hurt/ ache. Used to be middle finger most but...

9.8 can't get a handle on this weight plateau :mad:

9.1 this morning, was 7.4 last night around 8pm. All to do with eating too much (for me) really need to nail down food and hence weight.

Chin up, same here, had it about 4 years but was very slow realising it was my D2 affecting it.

New: my latest HbA1c was 56 (67 6 mths ago )but I really want to get it as low as possible ) . Best app I find is Fitbit one although I don't use an actual Fitbit any more. I record glucometer readings and just started (again) a food diary on it. Question is , are there any better ones that are...
