Yes, I was told I can up my insulin for those nights I have a take away! The nearest I get to a treat is an apple [emoji4]

10 years after being diagnosed.

Ok, so I have been cutting carbs as I had an type 2 on insulin. I had a routine blood test two weeks ago about my other meds, and it appears I have high potassium levels. I have been advised to cut out a lot of the low carb snacks I using to deal with this issue. Another blood test and I now...

I can’t eat weetabix either. It spikes me badly.

My best advice is speak to your doctor. Hope you feel better soon

Fingers crossed. I can’t deal with another diet change lol. I am exhausted with it all!

I am on insulin now so I am waiting for my next Hb1AC and if it has dropped a fair bit I will try again with my glasses

It was specsavers for me too! I called them within two weeks and told them and they said I would still have to pay for the new lenses. I didn’t want to do this as I paid for reactions and other additional options. I am also going elsewhere too. Especially as I told them on the day that my eyes...

Funny enough the nurses don’t eat bananas, which like you I don’t eat lol. I do eat lots of broccoli and my snacks lately have been cheese and nuts. So I am hoping that is the case. Although I don’t know what I can easily replace these with as I am in work all day so not easy to cater for. I...

I have had this. In fact I once had two pairs of glasses based on a bad day which became unusable in 2 weeks because my eyes were better and I couldn’t see out of either pair of glasses!

I wonder if there any of the low carbers out there who after changing to a low carb diet now have high potassium? I have had a blood test and it has come back with high potassium readings. I changed my diet a lot to go as low carb as I can personally manage with my snacks being things like nuts...

If you are not on lowering meds you don’t have to.

If I get a really low reading I finger test. For example I had an warning saying in was at 3 but finger pricked and it read 5.9. I always prick now with a low reading on the Libre2 before taking action as I treated a low to find out I want low and then had a really high reading because I treated...

Thanks for the advise. I appreciate it. I have had to send back two sensors back to back through malfunction. I will intermittently finger prick as you suggest to keep track. Thanks again. X
