First of all I cannot thank you enough for your thoughts and prayers. I am so relieved to let you know that after further tests I have been given the all clear! My heart rate has returned to normal..... just, and now to concentrate on lowering my levels. I can fully understand what you must...

Hi, 50 mins until my appt and not really sure how I am feeling. I keep getting the feeling that I don't want to be in this story line! Thank you for your messages, will catch up with you later xx

Hi Jaxx You have been more than helpful. I have tried to busy myself and today (Sunday) my levels have come down into the 8s. Still not sleeping well, just need tomorrow to come now :( . Thank you again.

Until Monday lunch time :(

Thank you noblehead and for your best wishes

I had a mammogram last week. Two days ago I received a letter from the hospital with an appointment for me to return for more tests.

Hi Ming Stevia is a natural sweetener and has minimal side effects but it is quite expensive. It can be obtained through the web. Check google for all detailed information! Best wishes Marsha

Hi Graham Thank you for your reply. To be honest my bs levels reached the low 20s last year. Since taking my diet in hand I now very rarely go over 8.5 (I find that anxiety pushes my readings up :( ). I have even experienced a hypo at 2.9 - not very nice, and very scary! Because of low...
