Hi Deejar, sorry mate caught me at the low ebb of a mood swing, Apologies if I was a bit harsh, I've eaten now so I'm fine :) .

Hey chaps, It would be good for me if you could give a little more general guidance help rather than the "you need to test" replies as some of us only have the little wee sticks for testing and they are not much help :( . I have been having Weetabix mornings (throughout summer) and porridge...

Six monthly checkups results: Sugar 6.4 Cholesterol 3.3, BP 119/70 Wohoo. Take that <punches the air> Sorry, been meaning to introduce myself for a while, and now have me six monthly results back so feeling pleased with them and wanted to brag to a group that understood what I meant :-)...
