Apologies for not posting for ages, had a terrible year. 2021, my mmol was between 5.2 and 9, sometimes 5,2 both morning and night sometimes as high as 9 but not usually higher (few times just over 10) Then Feb 22 my stomach swelled up, started loosing weight without trying and at the same...

Had mine 8:30am Saturday (Oxford one) I suffer from CFS, gout, chronic pain, asthma, cognitive problems, nausea etc etc etc and am on a ton of meds After an hour or so, it really really zonked me out for the day, felt very woozy headed, sort of stoned/heavy eyed. Wife took one look at me and...

Many thanks I've been doing it first thing, get up, wash, dress, take reading. I seem to have dawn phenomenon too. Yesterday when I got up, 8.6. Before lunch 7.1. two hrs after lunch 6.8, before dinner (8pm) 7.0, two hrs after dinner 6.1

I eat my evening meal at about 7:30pm and don't eat anything until my lunch the following day at around 1pm. Should I simply measure my "before lunch" and also count it as my fasting level (would only have drunk water up until then) Or am I missing something? Thanks

Hi, just got myself a Carsens-dual meter. The ketone strips are £10 for ten. I don't intend checking every day otherwise it would cost a fortune. But intend to check every 5 days at first until I'm constantly in ketosis, then maybe once every fortnight. But what is the best time to check...

Thanks, that's something I may look into

Determined to make a proper go of things this year. My last post here was Feb 2020 Bad year for everyone. 30th November 2018 Keto had got me down to 15st 8 lb 2nd Oct 2019 I was 18st 11 lb Weighed myself yesterday,. I was 127.3 kilo which converts to 20st 1 lb. This was in the afternoon...

All needed 50 mg Cyclizine Hydrochloride 3 times a day when needed I really need something even stronger, constantly feel sick, these are anti sickness meds Metformin 500g 3 times a day (only taking twice at the moment else I'm on the loo all day) If I can lose weight and get numbers low...

It's something I've often thought about. The reality is, due to my health problems, my wife is up an hour and a half before me, taking the dogs for a long walk, she definitely isn't in the mood when she comes back. Plus the dogs will be going mad at that point, hence they would bark and wake...

I had a bad Hiatus Hernia, was on max allowed dose of Omiprazole a day for years and years (started in early 90s) then they changed it to Lansoprazole and even then, I still often got through a whole large bottle of gaviscon in a day. Before I had my op, I would wake up in the middle of the...

They discovered my T2 when I went to the GP about ED. I say discovered, the person I saw (different every time at my surgery) told me I was already a diabetic from the blood tests I had over the past few years and put me on metformin immediately. I have always have a very big sex drive and I...

Hehe, I have difficulty walking 40 yards, I know the parks are big, but I won't be rushing around all over the place sadly.

Thanks. The past 4 days I've eaten the following. Fried mince, two or three fried eggs, cheese melted over the mince for lunch For dinner, small shoulder of lamb (cheap at the moment in Morrisons) , I'm talking about £2.50 to £3.50 worth, plus my 3 dogs have some, and 100g of cauliflower and...

Hmm, might give metformin a miss on a Saturday night then (although I've done this almost every week since being put on it in dec 2017) Trouble is, nothing at all related to my diabetes, I suffer almost permanently from most side effects listed on most medication anyway, due to various health...

I agree with ally1, get a charity whether CAB or other benefit support charity to fill it in. It takes ages, the lady that filled mine in said she's convinced it's designed so that most people give in half way through filling the forms out.
