Hello all, I've not been on in a while after some pretty nasty exchanges from the various sides of the low carb debate! However I wanted to come back on to give you all an update on my progress and thank you all for the advice and support I got from this site in the early days of my diagnosis...

I like to go for Mackerel or Smoked Salmon as well in the morning. Normally with eggs but sometimes with spinach or rocket.

Well done on the drop! I can't wait for my first retest. Hopefully I'll be able to move from 11.9%.

Welcome to the forum Leah, I had the same with my eyes. Normal eyesight again now now and I'm at pretty good levels most of the time. I'm sure you will soon be feeling better but ask any questions or just unload anytime you want. I do mainly to stop my wife getting bored of me talking about...

Noblehead/Fergus, I'm in Cambridgeshire and Addenbrookes don't share data with the GP surgery I'm at and vice versa. I watched the GP trying to fill out the form to get my blood results shared and it still didn't work. Now I just get all my bloods done in the hospital. I'll switch to GP...

6.7 this morning . I was at 4.1 when I went to go to bed a misjudged the snack I made myself.

In theory extremes of either cold or heat will impact on BG's as your bodies homeostatic mechanisms have to work harder. Its interesting that for some it goes up and others go down though. Just to confuse things even more. So for me its just exercise, illness, temperature and carbs in the meal...

5.3 this morning. Currently I think exercise is the key but I'm sure I'll be proved wrong again shortly!

Does heat impact then. Mine was fine when I was indoors but in the evening I finished higher.

3 days of under 5.5 came to an end this morning after going to bed at 6.7 I woke up on 6.0. Flipping wrap!

Claymic, No judgement from any of us. I'm having a rubbish day today so I just had some chocolate and some extra insulin so no idea what that will do but needed something. People don't do everything for logical health reasons diabetic or not. You know what you need to do! :thumbup: TTP

I reckon what Robert says is likely to be the culprit. If you are stressed enough to go back to something that you had kicked that will cause you that much damage to cope then you are stressed enough to see BG spikes. Stop before you get re-hooked again as kicking it sucks. I remember those...

Hope it all clicks for you Keiran. I get my energy from working on keeping control of my condition. I'm relatively new to all of this so I'm sure my first big wobble is going to come when my honeymoon period starts to end and my sugars are all over the shop but just now by eating low carb and...
