I also have ME so can sympathise. I can recommend slow-cooker soup, you control the carb content, you don't have to prep or cook it all at once, you can sit while doing most of it. Also soup takes less chewing effort than solid food, and the slow cooker can be left on 'keep warm' so you can just...

I've never tried semaglutide, I was put straight onto Mounjaro. It's worked wonderfully for me, latest HbA1c was 42. Now I can concentrate on trying to get my fasting glucose down as I have an overgenerous liver :rolleyes:

6.9 Not too bad considering I'm suffering from some sort of virus and had sushi last night.

8.8 Higher than expected and it was the last test strip of the pot so I'll retest in a bit. edit: 6.9, far more acceptable :)

I have just been prescribed Mounjaro and the surgery are going to prescribe 4mm needles. Before they did I had a quick Google and read that people with lots of subcutaneous fat (guilty!) may need longer needles eg 8mm. My question is how will I know if 4mm needles are too short? The surgery...

Zigzag Hill, Shaftesbury

Was going to weigh myself yesterday but ran out of energy. I definitely feel smaller, my belly no longer sticks out further than my boobs! Will try to get on the scales this weekend.

Thank you @Antje77 I'm sure we'd have fun :happy: I've been a bit tearful today after WhatsApping an old friend from my teens and remembering my old life. I thought I was resigned to my new circumstances but I'm obviously still grieving deep down. Probably triggered by the holiday, I've had a...

10.3 2 hours earlier than usual, wonder if that's significant.

Horses, elephants, lions - play safely!

Boat hook

It's on private land so presumably they just lock the access gates. If I knew I was going to use it more than once I wouldn't mind but this year is going to be very expensive as it is. Would be useful to put my phone in I suppose if nothing else. Insurance and safety I guess, so they can see...

10.3 Not upset as I tested 2 hours earlier than usual. A few strips of biltong brought it down to 8.0, at around the time I'd usually get up and see a 9.5, so it's a win. Got a massive mixing bowl of homemade Greek salad to eat today as it wouldn't fit in the fridge. It won't be a hardship...

9.7

Hello from a fellow spoonie (ME/CFS and almost certainly ND as well). Only just seen this thread as I've been on holiday, but your situation is in parts very similar to mine, although I've only been trying to manage diabetes for a few months. I feel your pain. My daughter's 19 and has put on a...
