That’s the thing the affect me differently on different days. The other day I at bread twice in one day and I got 5.5 that was after dropping medication down. I could eat the same bread tomorrow and get a high reading they are never consistent xx

Actually when I was first diagnosed they did not know if I was type 1 or type 2. Then I hypo on gliclizide and the nurse said that meant I was type 2 xx

Was diagnosed 2 years ago with HBA1C of 100 went on 2 metformin a day then after first 3 months HBA1C was 37 then 38 so was took off medication for 9 months readings were 48, 51 then 80 so went back on metformin but 4 tablets a day. New reading is 42. I am constantly been told am a bit of a...

Yes new pot of strips opened yesterday. I have changed the batteries in the meter and tested 6.2 now. Hope that it’s ok now

been a while since I have been on here as I had apparently cured myself for 9 months. But not anymore. My meter just gave me a reading of 1.9 and I panicked so tested another finger and was 8.2 and another finger 7.7 is my meter broken or me

Also I made that statement as every time I have posted I have ended up even more confused or upset. So on that note am done it has not helped me

You seemed to take this personal. I have had pernicious anaemia for years so already knew that. I have been tested for all sorts lately because of recent illnesses.

No offence but I don't see it like that. I have had many tests and I was very high last year at 100 HBA1C now all my readings have been brilliant with low metformin usage so she too me off to see what results would be without using meds or controlling diet and I think 45 is good. It was an...

Thank you yes I do have pernicious anaemia and have had for a few years, one nurse said it would of affected my numbers by giving me a high reading as I was due an injection but another said it would of gave me a lower reading which left me confused.

Wow let down again on this site. I understand what she is currently saying, at the time I was very high no doubt. However my last two HBA1C have been 38 and 37 with no diet changes and she said that metformin should not be able to do that by itself. So she is experimenting. I am sick of coming...

That was to get a true reading. Nurse told me not to change my diet. She doesn't think I am diabetic

I have ate like I did in the past as advised as DN thinks I am not diabetic and asked me to eat like used to xx

Hi I was diagnosed last year with HBA1C of 100 and finger prick tests across a couple of days in the mid 20s. I had ketones in my wee and I way unwell and lost a lot of weight. I was put on metformin and all was Going well with 2 further HBA1C of 37 then 38. I was took of medication and told to...

Hi everyone I have been off metformin and have been living normal life eating what I want as instructed by nurse so she could get a true reading. My HBA1C came back and I was 45 any thoughts on this I am been retested again in 10 weeks

Is this the best scenario then. It's conflicting information. One nurse said I would of had a high reading when diagnosed as I was due my injection of B12 the following week which I understood, then another nurse said it would of given me a lower reading which then confused me. I accepted my...
