Way to go on improving your blood glucose!..But the body doesn't always like it at first, as its used to higher sugar/glucose levels. IMO the big muscles in your legs are complaining they are not getting enough fuel (Glucose), and will play up more if you restrict the blood flow. This should...

Dont be scared old mate, its not the end of the world. Just take stock of your diagnosis. Dont go over the top in suddenly knocking off all the sugar. Everything in moderation is the key. If you are fond of the liffey water then back it off. If you smoke try to give up. Think about changing...

Thanks AJ, will give him a look.

Yo BK!, Welcome to the forum nobody wants to be on, and way to go on your progress so far :angelic: I hope you can avoid this (excuse the pun) bloody awful condition. It's like nothing you can imagine health wise if it gets out of control. I will say this though, and i'm probably not going to...

You guys have probably already done this, but check your "NFC" (near field communication) settings on your phones. When i was fortunate enough to be using the trial Libra program i had a Huawei phone that "Updated" itself, and from then on decided to toggle its NFC on and off seemingly at will...

I love fish, especially kippers, and mushrooms. So a stir fry especially is not strange to me at all. The local supermarket do a big range of stir fry (including mushrooms), so may well give it a go. Thanks. Sorry about your grandma. I guess back in the day people just found their own way food...

Thanks again for the info. I think i am basically doomed (Mr Mannering) You guys are all so.. disciplined!. I have always seemed to follow the words of the late great Oscar Wilde.."I can resist anything but temptation".

Thanks LL/Chef, Really helpful and targeted. As mentioned i was looking at the Hello fresh stuff (not Just fresh). But this seems better. Gotta admit, i love a good fetta cheese. Many thanks again, am perusing as i speak :)

Thanks for the advice MrsA. You are right. Am checking out "Hello Fresh" the order in food service. They seem to do all sorts. Not cheap, but what price health?. I basically have to do something, as the whole plot in my case is catching up to me with the nephropathy etc. Am noticing my vision is...

Hi Missy, Sorry to hear about your fingers. I can well imagine the pain can be excruciating, especially dealing with typing and fiddly things like blood testing strips. Yup, same here, just left for years to get on with it. But in my case there wasn't much at first to report with my diabetes...

Tell me about it :) In the evenings, if i do the wine thing as X...the only thing i can count on is P :happy: PS, superb blog :pompous:

Sorry all, I didn't really do your replies and help justice. But thanks again for the help. As an engineer I really struggle with the complexities of diabetes. Things like how you can feel great with one BS reading, then feel totally cr%p with the same reading. Usually in engineering, if you do...

Thanks for the info. Not testing myself as often as i should. Average i guess of 12 in the morning, and 15 later on in the afternoon.

Thanks for the info. I really have to get on the case more witth my readings. If anything though, my BS seems to go down first thing.

Hi all, many thanks for the info. I think you have all hit it on the head especially Lovinglife. I just have to go through the riding it out period. I really do feel like cr$p though. As for testing it's not something i do that often. A touch of nueropathy makes my fingers very sensitive. I...
