@ally1 I just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you on obtaining such excellent fasting blood glucose figures! Well done! Long may it continue. Over and out.

Absolutely! For me, it was saddening and disappointing.

I know there are many that have had the same or similar experiences. Like I typed, there have been similar threads to this one in the past that changed very little. I truly hope that this one is not history repeating itself. Sometimes it's a case of actions speak louder than words. I'm all...

Shame that didn't happen for my PMs - I was pretty much stonewalled! I'm hoping the discussion on this thread is a sign that lessons have been learnt and the future will be better for it. That typed I've seen this kind of discussion before and that bore little fruit. I'm ever hopeful for the...

Yesterday Morning: Blood Glucose 5.7 mmol / L Blood Ketones 1.1 mmol / L <-- Liking this! Before bed: Blood Glucose 5.3 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.3 mmol / L This Morning: Blood Glucose 6.5 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.7 mmol / L <-- Not as good as yesterday but, OK. Before bed: Blood Glucose...

This morning: Blood Glucose 5.3 mmol / L - Wahey! [emoji322] Blood Ketones 0.6 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 5.2 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.1 mmol / L Being consistently in the low 5s is my goal. Would love to be in the high 4s. Would someone launch a hunt for summer?

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.3 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.4 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 4.1 mmol / L Blood Ketones 1.6 mmol / L 23 hour fast (just water) yesterday. Woke several times but, omitted to test. No nightmares or terrors. Phew!

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.2 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.7 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 5.4 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.3 mmol / L Another reasonably early start. No night terrors - thank {insert deity of your choice}!

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.3 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.6 mmol / L Before Bed: Blood Glucose 5.8 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L Woke from night terror during the night with Blood Glucose 7.6 mmol / L Earlier start today (and earlier to bed) so probably why I'm in the 6s rather than 7s...

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.8 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 5.3 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.6 mmol / L Disappointed as I managed to keep carbs to just 5g yesterday! Must be the B£**#¥ Stress! Bah!

You're very welcome! I was once 'newly diagnosed' so like to give back to members of this forum where I can - I try to avoid thinking where my Diabetes would be if I hadn't stumbled across this forum and the website its attached to! Really do enjoy reading your posts with your writting style...

Love the eloquence of your posts! Whilst you feel the blood glucose testing kit is additional weight at the moment - stick with it! Self Blood Glucose Monitoring is the cornerstone of Blood Glucose management. It seems daunting at first but, soon becomes routine. It helped me to focus on pre...
