That's a brilliant idea, never thought of that. Do you use both partners?

Hi all, I was fortunate to get a free trial of the Lifestyle Libre 2. (I'm Type 2) I found it absolutely eye opening, it allowed me to know exactly what my blood sugar was doing and enabled me to adjust my diet to reduce it if my B/S was either rising or falling with out going to the trouble of...

Thanks to everyone who responded, even to the couple who I have no idea what your on about.

Morning everyone, been attempting to control my Type 2 diabetes by diet and exercise since being diagnosed a few years ago and have resisted taking Metformin. Sadly my readings of late have crept up to 10 mmol/l + most days. I feel I have little option but to start taking Metformin, but...

Can someone with Type 2 diabetes eat long grain rice, or is Basmati rice better?

BG levels all over the place. At bed time last night 6.7 mmol/L :) on waking this morning 10.0 mmol/L. :( Very good yesterday stayed under allowed calories which included a small roast turkey dinner about 7.00 pm, plenty of cabbage a few peas and 3 small roast potatoes. Desert was 2 squares of...

10.1 this morning[emoji26] worst reading for a very long time. Hardly surprising after the week we've had, car breakdown, father in law passed away. High point a 50th birthday celebration but sadly we ended up in a Pizza restaurant. Carb over load. Hopefully things can only get better...

Morning all. 6.7 not bad considering I was a bit naughty last night. Had several glasses of wine. [emoji524]

I don't think that comment about Hypo applied to me. I am nowhere near as experience as many on this forum. I did however follow Dr Micheal Mosley's 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet, when first diagnosed in Feb 2016, Dr suggested Metformin but I refused. At the end of the 8 weeks I had lost one and a...

Thank you all who replied. Will put the Aviva away and watch for trends as suggested. Hopefully in a slightly move downward direction. One encouraging thing is that no one has said my readings are a cause of concern. :)

I had been using Aviva Accu-Chek from March 2016, when diagnosed Type 2, up until mid September 2019. Average readings as follows: Waking 6.9 mmol/L, 2hrs after Breakfast 6.4 mmol/L, 2hrs after Lunch 6.2 mmol/L, Bedtime 6.0 mmol/L. Total Average 6.4 mmol/L. I then decided to change my meter to...

6.7 best reading for a while. [emoji56]

12/10 7.8 this morning. Slowly getting back to normal after a summer of visitors Two days into 'the 8 week Blood Sugar diet' worked a treat when I was first diagnosed T2 back in Feb. Lost a stone and a half so here we go again!
