Have to agree highs make me feel miserable and tired too

Sorry but I would have killed for a choice like this, I had to wait til friends family came in just to have something other than sloppy pasta or microwaved grey meat, our only choice was meat or meatfree

I really wish they could all make a decision, HbAc1 is usually between 41 - 44, the GP surgery congratulate me, the consultant says get it up to 47. I don't have loads of hypo's. Fasting works best for me

I got a link lasys week telling me that a Chinese flower and Hawthorn plant could cure me. Well you would think the NHS would have let me know, swines;)

Please please work on getting it in control. Due to a wrong diagnosis I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks on drips, pumps and heart monitor with DKA. When discharged I was almost blind, had lost feeling in one lower leg and foot and could hardly stand unaided. Its taken18 months to get better...

I too smoked 20+ a day and really didn't want to give up but finances forced it. I started by trying to cut down like you but it just didn't work. Eventually I just didn't buy any cigs, it was tough but I am now 5 years ciggy free but I still vape. Good Luck

I make mine with water then add a dessert spoon of double cream, yummy

When I was first diagnosed I took a dose of abasaglar with my evening meal instead of apidra. Called 111 who advised an alarm set for 2am to check my bloods. They were a little low but all was fine

Really feel for type 2's who have to rely on GP/DN. My consultant has asked me to explore with the GP why I am prescribed statins cos she doesn't think I need them

I'm T1 but my bod doesn't like pea's and mushrooms. I can eat strawberries for ever without a problem. Now I'm getting sick of them, never thought that would happen!

I find 80 to 100 works for me too, the DR doesn't want me to goo any lower and that suits me too, lower just didn't work for me. Like you I can't live without fruit. I just tried all sorts with loads of finger pricking to see what suits my body. I know an apple will send me sky high, melon has...
