Sugar levels have been anywhere from 5.2 - 9.1 over the last few days, rapid test came back negative on covid.

For the last few days I've been smelling 'stale garlic' sweat , is this normal for some or all diabetics? I was diagnosed as prediabetic months ago, is this something i should get in contact with my gp about or hold out until July for my re test ??

I really have no idea as I was just told change of lifestyle and avoid all sugars and sweeteners as I'm only pre D. My gp wants me back for a re test on hba1c in july

As clear as I can get the pic

Dressing is already added to it, I keep looking at the pack and already feel guilty for wanting to eat it but my brain is saying don't eat it due to the pasta in there that could be too small to see that's mixed in the mayo [emoji53] before being told I'm preD I'd of eaten 2 of those packs so...

Lunch or is this a no no?? I'm removing the white pasta as I know that will spike me

Does anyone else get tinnitus from time to time?

About 4 hours sleep before needing to get up and needing the loo, sugar 8.4 when tested. Last meal eaten was tea (dinner) , self caused due to stuff had, Cheesy bean and sausage with potato chunks (something the kids love) so lots of carbs. Won't be eating that again even though it made me full...

[emoji29][emoji29]oh yep that's me, never been tested for it. Oh I snore I've even woke up to my own snoring

Fatigue - I'm always tired as sleep can be a problem, I can sleep for 2 hours then I'm up again or up to 7 hours. I already have an inherited eye problem so not much else can go wrong there, I'm having LFTs or whatever they are called now re done in march as 'something' came back on my last lot...

So any increase on 46 between now and July will have me knocking on the door of t2 and asking to join the club [emoji53][emoji53]

Phoned my surgery and asked what my result was before Christmas, they said my hba1c came back @ 46. What does this mean??

I do hope you mean white bread and pasta, I've changed to wholemeal pasta and wholemeal/seeded bread. I'm not one for cereals and fruit, I may have the odd bowl or banana once in a while. Why cut out potatoes?? Or is that due to the starch in them?

I'm using different chemists to get the strips [emoji4] I do prefer the idea of self testing as like others have said it gives an idea of what foods spike sugars.

Hi, do you have any updates about this?? I tend to get a similar problem.
