Hello Board Since diagnosis 2 years ago, I've had really bad control of my blood glucose but have recently been referred to my first community diabetic nurse specialist - what a difference she is to GP practice nurses! :) She put me onto 5ml x twice a day of Byetta (Exentide), referred me to...

8.4 after a lie-in

A respectable 12.2 for me this morning. Should get my first Byetta pen this evening.

Had a sachet of Oat So Simple apple and blueberry with semi skimmed milk and a white coffee with sweetex so far today. Love the idea of eating mozzarella for breakfast. [emoji1] Large can of baked beans with 'pork' sausage for early lunch as driving up to York to buy an amp for hubby. Am...

Hello board Just here to introduce myself seeing as I'll definitely be spending more time here. I was told on Thursday last week that I'd more than likely got Type II but it was confirmed with the second blood test results yesterday. My first fasting test gave result of 22 and the second one...
