Thank you so much for your reply. Very helpful.

Good Morning Everyone I have been away from the forum for a long time but now I back. I was wondering does anyone have any thoughts on when is the 'best' time to test in the morning time. I have been told to do so immediately you get up. I always waited one hour. Any advice would be...

Hi Everyone Happy New Year from Ireland. I have had T2 for about 10 years. It's part of my life, it does not define me. I just get on with it. Went to the nurse just before Christmas for annual bloods (new nurse). Got letter today that I have to have more bloods next week as a result of...

Hello everyone. I'm back. After six years of walking the roads and hills of Ireland. Just could not keep my BS levels below 8 - usually 9 or more. I have been put on Metformin (2 X 500 per day) from last week. My levels at different times during the week have been between 5.8 and 6.8. I'm...

I've used it for years on my breakfast cereal. Not sure if it really does any good in the scientific sense, but I like the taste. Ceara

Hi Dave I am also a type two. Like your wife I was fanatical at the start (three years ago) - right food, exercise etc. But it is important to note that you control the disease it should not control you. So in my case I am not so rigid any more; my blood scores are fine and the HbA1c is 6.4...

Everyone falls of the wagon some time. Christmas is as good a time as any. Every year I allow myself a few days around Christmas and my reading also stay pretty ok. But as soon as Christmas is over, back to the diet (I'm diet control only). I also do the same at by birthday and Easter. I...

Hi All I use the 'BGluMon' (Blood Glucose Monitor) app. Its great. I also use 'ALowGIDiet' . It allows you to view the GI and GL of over 2000s foods. Excellent.

Hi This REALLY works. Trust me, I was once like you. Take garlic tables for a week before you go and during your holiday. The garlic 'smell' seeps from your skin (you cannot smell it) but it keeps the mozzies away for MILES. Simple but effective. Ceara
