Just time for a quick note - These are the strips https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310256074799

Thanks Yes, I think a testing meter is probably required. Am getting confused with mmol/mol and mmol/L My last blood test was 42 mmol/mol That appears to equate to 7 mmol/L The guide for the strips has turquoise which it says i s neg (my results to date) and then a green with a hint of blue...

Thank you. They did a range of tests a few months back and I was OK on the items you list. Unless I pick up some specific concerning result in the meanwhile, I think the plan will be to carry on with less frequent strip tests for a short while - and then look into a test for low blood sugar and...

Have had the strips for a day and used 5 of them, all with similar results. Woke up at about 2am drenched in sweat that did not smell - I can taste it above my upper lip when it does smell - but I usually sleep through for another hour or so before needing a wee. The sweating could be...

Thank you - Order put in

Have had a think following all the helpful advice above and have a proposed short-term plan of action. A bit more info before I go into that: The night sweats and the smell that sometimes accompanies them are quite variable. Maybe started in the middle of last year. Sometimes go away, but I...

Thank you for the replies. Plenty to think about and investigate there. I am on no regular medication but do take a high dose Vitamin D3 capsule every morning at this time of year. So no insulin and possibly borderline type 2 diabetes.

Hi Started this thread a while back https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/blood-sugar-below-48-but-several-diabetes-symptoms.183965/ I will post a proper update on there at some point but have a specific question below. The brief update is that the GP says that my blood sugar levels mean...

Thank you both for the further very informative replies. Will not be taking things much further, other than limiting my carbs, until a telephone appointment with a GP next Friday, to take stock after my blood results. Will insist on a face to face appointment after that if I think it's needed...

Thank you - and congratulations on what you have achieved

Quick PS - has anyone any experience of using the probiotic Slimbiome?

Great to have so many informative responses. I am very pushed for time today, so will respond to some of the points raised and then provide a bit more detail on my symptoms (mainly from the info I have sent to the surgery). Later on it may be sensible to raise some specific questions in the...
