Thanks, I do have the pee sticks and everything is normal.

Thanks but feeling pretty much normal now I'll definitely keep a close eye on things and call 111 if necessary.

Hello, my first time on this chat. My blood sugars are all over the place, Friday night bedtime 19.5, Saturday morning 3.5. Saturday night after going out for meal and a few drinks 17.5, this morning after vomiting food & drinks 11.5. I can't phone surgery, 14 month's ago ICB withdrew funding...

My diabetic nurse put me on Dapagliflozin. I was warned of the side effects including necrotising facilitis but told I would be peeing out sugars and that would benefit me. I became housebound because I needed to use the toilet so much. I didn't dare go anywhere as I was having so many...

I too get up to pee 3 - 4 times a night. I'm female so definitely not my prostate!

I'm type2 and started on insulin Jan 23, just a once a day injection. I was also having a liraglutide injection once a day. Until April my weight was coming down then the liraglutide ran out and I haven't been able to get it since. I'm following a low carb diet but struggling to exercise due to...

Sugars soared December 22 to 90 but last reading down to 47. Fasting normally around 5 -6. Breakfast bacon sandwich with HiLo bread. Love pasta and have substituted lentil fusili from Amazon. Exercising is a problem as I have back pain (2 major operations on my spine and this is as good as it...

I find that if I go for a walk 2 - 3 milestone my BG always drops and I need to eat to raise it. I'm exercising to try and get fitter and lose weight and I end up eating more!

I have HiLo low car, high protein bread for breakfast. I have two slices with bacon. I had this 30 mins ago followed by an avocado and now my sugars are 6.6. My medication is Solostar Toujeo insulin and 1 metfotmin.

I was sent on this during covid so I did it via zoom over 2 days. Did I learn anything - not a lot! The person delivering the course did nothing to make it interesting, I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I didn't log on for the 2nd session. You can learn as much as you need from...

I'm type 2 and have recently been put on insulin, Toujeo, once a day injection. I normally do my fasting blood test and then the insulin around 10am. It can be injected up to 3 hours either side of the usual time. However, I'm going on holiday soon and will need to get up around 3.30am to...

I've been type 2 for several years relying on meds and diet to control bloods. I was told I didn't need to have a glucose meter, so I didn't! Last year in June my levels were raised and by November they were sky high. Then I understood why I had been feeling so tired and lethargic, weeing...

Thank you. I've bought some Hi Lo bread and all seems well at the moment.

Hi I've recently started the low carb plan and although I feel I'm doing quite well I really miss bread! Is there any commercial brand that is high protein? I remember buying one a few years ago but can't find it now.
