    A little disappointed…

    Dont see the point if dieting is making life intolerable. I thought the same as you firstly but soon came to realize metformin cuts you a bit of slack.

    non invasive blood glucose measurements

    Yes, I thought that too. After the initial investment of the machine itself, there is bound to be some kind of subscription. As long as its loads cheaper than Libre, I would look at it.

    non invasive blood glucose measurements

Last year I recall a statement saying that developments were happening rapidly and we may see prototypes rolled out this year. I for one cant wait, I hate finger...

    New med regimen and hypos

    thanks Lamont, this shakiness is only when glucose drops significantly more or less into hypo. to be fair, this isnt happening much now as I think I have it sorted and now eat properly. I have been diagnosed for 11 months now so I guess medication is a bit trial and error for my doc.

    New med regimen and hypos

    Hi Lamont, sorry for late reply, I take metformin 500mg x3 and half a tab of 80mg gliclazide each day.

    New med regimen and hypos

    my bloods were 8.6 this morning. 4 hours later and after a small breakfast and cuppa, driving back home, started trembling. Got home just in time and gone into hypo measuring 3.3. just seems you cant win with this awful condition sometimes.

    Strong question- what do you think caused your diabetes (type 1)

    didnt realise. both my brother and I have type 2..found out distant family members had it.
