I’ve decided to take in some pork scratchings and some mini cheeses I had in the fridge. Just to stave off any hunger pangs. And I’ll stick with water and black coffee. Don’t want to risk milk.

Hi, I’m type 2 and due up in hospital for kidney/ bladder surgery next week. Hopefully it’ll only be an overnight stay. Thing is I’ve looked at the menu and there is nothing at breakfast to eat that isn’t carb based. I’m happy to fast usually but as I won’t be eating much the day before due to...

So I got the type 2 diagnosis at the end of November with hba1c of 79! Came on here and had a major whinge, but got myself a meter and cut out every carb I could. I’ve lost 11 kilos :). Just got my latest test results back and everything is normal again., according to the gp. Whoop whoop...

My early morning reads are getting much lower as well. I’m getting there slowly :)

I test after meals at weekends and in the evening. It usually goes up by a point, or sometimes drops.

i was diagnosed at end of November. I’ve posted on here about it. I had hba1c of 79. I’ve gone Lchf and managed to lose 5 kg and according to mySugr and DiaConnect apps, I’ve managed to get it down to 58 and still going. I’m going for another official blood test next month so hopefully can get...

Aargh. Christmas is hard. So much junk around and OH nicked some of my chicken drumsticks to hand round. Let them eat flipping cake, cos I can’t! Good news is MySugr app is showing estimated hba1c of 62 so the LCHF is working. Just another 20 to go.

As the title says really. Where do you get yours, how much is it and do you get side effects? Thanks

I got the Tee2 for free and bought extra strips. I’m using my fitness pal for carbs and mySugr for keeping note of my bs. http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-blood-glucose-meter/ Have a read of the diet doctor website . https://www.dietdoctor.com/ I’ve not paid for anything apart...

As per previous posts, diagnosed on 30/11/17 with hba1c of 79. Apparently was high way back in September 2015, but no one saw fit to tell me, and when I was with the nurse she showed me the records of my blood tests over the last 2 years, it’s been going up and up! So now on metformin but...

I cut them chunky, then parboil. Then toss in Parmesan and cook in a hot oven until brown. The Parmesan makes them crispy :). Taste lovely as well.

Yup. I don’t take it until I start eating. I thought it was getting better, but I’ve had the runs since 3pm, to the point that I daren’t go to bed. Seeing gp tomorrow to discuss slow release.

Thanks. I’m using MyFitnessPal for a food diary to work out my carbs to enter onto DiaConnect for bf, bp , pulse and weight. Getting a nice set of stats going. Just wish my stomach would settle :(

1) On metformin 2 ) Only been testing since Friday but not had any major surges 2 hours later yet. 4) The last 3 mornings have been 13. So dawn thing is happening . Just need to use up all my glucose I guess. I think I’ll test less often once I get my bs down. I started at 13.8 on Friday...

Bearing in mind the strips aren’t cheap, when are the best times to test, as I don’t really want to test up to 7 times a day? Obviously first thing in the morning, then before every meal? After? Bedtime! I’m actually missing breakfast atm, as I don’t actually feel hungry, just coffee with...
