Seen info about this programme and thinking about doing it. But cant find any info about maintenance diet when youve done the 10 weeks.

Oh goodness out by that much! Yes that’s true [emoji12] I haven’t noticed any real differences in different batch results. I’ve just ordered some test fluid. Thanks for info [emoji846]

Because a few times it has given me results which were higher than usual and when I’ve retested to check -results have been lower. I’ve just ordered some control solution. Thanks for info :)

Thanks for info. Is the TEE2 meter only free to diabetics?

Ive got the Codefree test monitor but want another machine just to make bs test is correct. I want to buy a monitor off the high street so can easily get testing strips. Thank you

Thanks for reply. 30 mins later its now 5.4

I’ve just come back from a walk up and down hills - a bit under 2 miles. My fasting bs before was 5.5 and now it’s 5.9mmol/l. I thought it went down after exercise.

Taking BS 2hr after eating 2 poached eggs, cooked spinach and a little gruyere. Machine said 3.6mmols - so I did it again 5.5mmols and just to check 5.3mmols. Hmmmm. Different fingers. I have a SD Codefree machine. How can i trust it now?

Ive seen a little chart on here saying that the post prandial blood sugar 90 mins after a meal for non diabetics should be between under 7.8 mmols. What happens to it after that? Im asking because Ive just been told Im prediabetic and in the last month have been testing my blood sugar. I had...

How many carbs, fat and protein should I be eating on a LCHF diet? So confused with all info.

Sending it up?

Ive just been diagnosed. Ive been taking Vit C 100mg and Zinc 15mgs - could these affect blood sugar?

Thanks everyone for the information. Will test after first bite from tomorrow. Ive got the SD blood sugar monitor. Yes the strips are expensive aren’t they! How do you know the machines are testing correctly?

And while Im here - what do people consider best blood sugar meter in UK? Thank you

Ive just been told Im prediabetic. Ive been testing blood sugar 2hrs after meal. Now just read a post by Diabetic Living in US where they say you should test 2 hrs after you start eating. Which is best?
