I have to say, thanks for all of the responses, this chat has been more beneficial than you could imagine. It's nice to know I can get a grip on this thing... I'm going to use the comments above as my starting point and refer back to it... The information is very helpful and luckily I love eggs!

I actually relate to this allot. I'm feeling good about looking after myself... But feeling a bit ham fisted at the moment

I'm repeating from memory, and at the time those numbers weren't my priority, so I wasn't paying much attention to them (more concerned about what action to take), but I do recall the 83 number, which again seems huge to me...

Iona May thanks, luckily I'm changing job and will be dumping the car commute for more walking, public transport and possibly a bit of cycling...

I'm not sure what a HbA1c is... But in the diagnosis my doctor told me that 48 was pre, 54 was diabetic and I had a number of 83... She said I must have been diabetic for a long time without being diagnosed

That link is very useful BTW, very simple an concise... Thanks, feeling better about making progress already

Thanks Jo, firstly, I've been testing 20 mins after a meal () so two hours might be a better way to do it... You're right about excersise, I think I've become lazy over the pandemic...thanks for the advice!

BTW, I've also lost about 3 stone or 20kgs over the past 3.5 years. I'm less than 2kg from a healthy (sic) weight... Also in that time I've cut down on alcohol in a big way... Still have an occasional big night out, but they are rare.

I've had my diagnosis for a few weeks now and just got my hands on a monitor... Over the past couple of days my reading has been fluctuating between 10 & 19.5... that seems scary to me. While I'm not a healthy eater, I've been trying to be more considerate. I've also cut out all drinks bar tea...
