@Kevrey hi im type 2 with one insulin a.m so might not be savy. But if I ate a banana , an apple and satsuma my readings go up about 7 - 9 on my finger monitor. i can only manage 1 smaĺ wholemeal slice. I gather that 1s can eat more carbs than ŧype 2s . But yes readings can drop that...

@MrsA2 I like the sound of these . Ill explore M&S express nearby. If they have any of these they would be good for a change and for snacks. The bread from the bakers has no nutritional advice so a crispbread for 4 carbs would be useful. Thank U Mrs A

@Johnbennett Hi thanks for sharing. Im not sure how rare 1 time users are. There aren't many answers.here. My story is this, I was thought to be a possle Laada in 2021. Then type 2. I contacted a dietician doing private work online during NHS lockdown . After some lengthy diet and readings...

I am insulin + metformin. INSULIN at 6am onl. I used to get sudden drops to 3. Or 2. Levels via fingerprick My doc had given me Levemir which is ending . Now trialling the level of Humulin. In a week I have had one 3,7 but it hadnt dropped so. far.

An ice cube tray, sugar free polo mints, sugar free chewing gum, wholemeal plain flour, houmous, sugar free tango , sugar free blackberry and apple squash ( to add a teaspoon to water for my ice cubes ), coconut yoghurt

Humbling 1 is going ok. My instructions have been . Stop Levemir. Start Humilin 1 at 6.45 a.m with 10 units ( half the amount used for Levemir). Use 10 for 4 days. The important reading is 6pm . Aiming for 5 _8 reading. Until 5_8 is achieved at 6 pm I raise the Humilin by 2 units a.m...

Humulin

The Gp looking after my care has opted for Humuli quik pen. I've read the online insruction but don't know much about in. This GP has diabetes himself and is lead for diabetes in our practice. He's been assisting me of late. Re diet anomalies and hypos

@Lakeslover Yes certainly , a vital part. Last week I tried this and it showed me something was not quite right. Are there any templates for recording food and readings, Ine aare bit scrappy.

@Rachox I'll follow this thru. I checked your signature readings. Very impressive . My next test might show 45 , but its with hardly any carbs ,Thanks.

A local GP has assisted in getting my average reading down mostly between 4 - 8.5. However at cost - Very low carbs. Id like to use a continuous monitor to check out which carbs I can tolerate more of . I only weigh 47kg . Id like to weigh 49-50kg. Kning which carbs I can use in...

Hello and thanks. We ate on the train as originally planned. Prawn starter and A chicken dish. The pie, salad and apple , 1/2 fulfil bar, I took in case , were used in the evening. Some of the suggestions given wil be used at home for meal items Thanks

A pack of 4 polo mints.and whole almonds, almond flour The mints are an idea I hit on. For unknown reasons I seem to feel desperately hungry after a meal. The polo mints are under 3g of sugar for 3 polo's. I polo is good to suck, leaves a strong taste which deters the desire to eat. Does...

@KennyA my son has leant his rowing machine to try out. I get good calf muscles from walking my Assistance hearing dog. The rule for him is off lead at least an hour. So this means, woods, country, Downs. I walk, throw a ball but also jog as much as terrain allows
