Today his BG levels went up by 3.4 after his breakfast of cheese and onion omelette. That's the first time that's happened as it's been lower 2 hrs after his omelette for the last 2 days. He took Amlodipine this morning. But he's been taking it everyday except yesterday, so who knows :/ We know...

That's very interesting! The doctor was so aggressive when we suggested that any of the symptoms he had were to do with the pills, despite them all being on the leaflet in the box!! Yes, hopefully he'll be driving me to hospital, but I'm not due for another 2 weeks. He said he feels his...

We're down to 8.3 this morning!! :D Yesterday BG came down consistently all day, except after dinner last night, which was carby so caused a slight raise. It wasn't until about 9pm when Colin realised he had forgotten to take his Amlodipine. Soooo...? A fair test it is not, but I do wonder what...

This afternoon Colin's BG level is down to 10.5 just before lunch. Very pleased!! He's doing incredibly well with his diet. I think it's going to be challenging for him to maintain because sugar is so addictive, but he's really thrown himself into being better and I'm optimistic. His vision is...

I know you're being sarcastic, but it has been kind of fun to play with a new techy toy today! I have no doubt the novelty will wear off very fast though lol ;) I'm intrigued by the idea that many people reject the doctor's advice regarding diet. I have know quite a few people who've received...

We've both been worried about our sugar addictions for a while but were too lazy to do anything about it, so this is a bit of a wake up call for him, and I don't want to be left out of the new health kick, so I'll have to join him in having a better diet and lifestyle. I'm kind of excited about...

Everything is making more and more sense the more I read, so thank you so much!! I really hope the blood that was taken is the test you mentioned! If not then we'll asks for it. The info about the BP meds is starting to look a bit sketchy now, so who knows :/ the bloods will answer that...

Indeed, I guess the important thing right now is that the glucose level is decreasing, what ever the cause. I should focus on that more. I think I'm just a bit of a problem solver, so if there's something I can't get my head around, I have to try a figure out how and why and everything in...

Sorry, like I said, my post is all over the place! It was more of a vent than a question :/ Thank you for your replies! He's just done another test and the number was 13.4, so it's still dropping despite eating and drinking. So this has to be a good thing? Surely it's odd though and should have...

Hi all, I'm new here... My husband's doctor says he has diabetes. We're a little unsure at the moment because the new medication that my husband is on for his BP has a (very rare) side effect of hyperglycemia. His symptoms started the day after he began the medication and got worse over the...
