Belvita breakfast bars, the yogurt crunch ones!, they taste so good and great with a cup of tea!. I also throw in some blueberries if I'm still hungry.

I work in a pharmacy and the pharmacist who told you this is wrong!. In our pharmacy, anything over 6.0 is referred to the GP, so I wouldn't worry about your reading :).

1 year on the 24th of November, no complications so far. Didn't have a very nice diagnosis, after falling ill at work and ending up in a&e with very high bg and ketones. I lay in the emergency receiving unit very sick on a saline drip overnight not knowing what was happening. Only to be told...

I don't shop in M&S normally, but I can't get strawberries in Asda or Tesco anymore :(. Although the strawberries are actually cheaper in M&S. The chicken pakora was brilliant, £2 for a pack and you get four quite good sized pieces. Good for a snack I guess :).

Hey! I'm sure most of you probably know about this one, but I was rather excited, so I thought I would share it. I went into m&s for my strawberries and I found a pack of chicken pakora. The nutritional information is 2.2grams of carbs per 100grams (which is the full pack!). I filled my basket...

Brilliant, thanks! I'll request to change them then. The BD Penta Point needles had my legs and stomach full of bruises and lumps, and my normal BD ones never caused that. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I do recognise those now, although they aren't given out much. I'm looking for new needles because the supplier we use are changing to those BD Penta Point, and no way am I using those!. Good luck with them, I look forward to hearing how they are!. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Last month, I got given BD Micro-Fine 4mm Penta Point. It said on the back that instead of three bevels, it now has five for more comfort. There was no comfort, just sheer pain! It put me off injecting!. Luckily this month I have my usual BD ones. I've never heard of those needles, I work in a...

Robert saved me lol, I took two units and it came down into the 8's but now before bed I'm 15.2! But I developed a temperature late on tonight, so I'm probably coming down with something. No ketones though! So all is good. Thanks again everyone Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you everyone, & thank you too Josef! These high sugars are making more moody than I normally am haha! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you Andy and Jack, I can't get in contact with my dsn because it's the weekend. I've been drinking lots of water today though. I'll keep an eye on it and add an extra unit onto my dinner dose :). And Josef, I do know how to control my diabetes, which is why I'm asking for advice now...

Hey guys, Can I ask for some advice please?. Since Thursday night (11pm) I've been running between 12 & 18mmol/l and today I'm feeling sick and I have a sore head. Ketones are 0.1, so they're okay but I'm not sure what to do. As I'm obviously still taking my insulin, does that mean I won't get...
