that is shocking - agree with paul_c - fine the managers - they're obviously not doing their job to a right standard!

low carb breakfast idea - how about a couple of boiled eggs or eggs variety? or smoked salmon with small bit of wholemeal toast or something. your diet and exercise regime sounds really good, i'm surprise that the clinic wants to medicate you if you keep your HBAC1 low, not sure maybe ask them...

Noracie, can I ask whether you were diagnosed with diabetes before or after your daughter? Sorry its a very selfish question, I've recently had a miscarriage and my head is still abit messed up and want to reassure myself that it will be fine in the future.....

ooo that would be nice to win something this year - 2013 has so far been absolute pants so this will make it all the better :)

I was 31 when I was diagnosed. was out of pure pluke that i was diagnosed too, glad to have the doctors I had cos I went to see him about something else completely and as we couldnt find a reason he decided to do a blood test, to test my liver function just in case. Which diagnosed I was T2...

Re: 1st pregnancy, Type 1.5 - when does antenatal care begin Sorry I dont think I could help, as I sought help from my docs etc before we TCC'd. Between seeing the pre-pregnancy diabetic clinic and telling my doc - it did take a couple of months. By the time I saw the specialist nurse, I fell...

hi girls - thanks for this post, I think I needed some reassurance too. I'm T2 and had only TTC for 3 months before I fell, and looking back, I've done everything right, kept my BG low, they done a test when I found out I was pregnant, and my HBAC1 was 6.3 and that was diet alone. They got me...

Sorry I've not come across this yet. The only thing is my feet gets stone cold and don't warm up for ages but think that's slightly different.

Well done disneyfan on the weight loss and managing the diabetes! definite inspiration.

hi tybir, i think its down to the doctors, i wasnt offered one to begin with (and to be honest i didnt really want one - so far not really impressed with the prick holes on my fingers :( ) and was on diet control, but cause my husband and I are trying for a baby, they want to monitor my BG more...

Thanks - glad to hear i'm not actually crazy!!! or a little mad..... will mind to take the reading with a pinch of salt.....

Do anyone find strange readings on the meters? I have onetouch ultra2 and been using the meter for around 2 months now. The other day just before my meal, I tested my blood, nothing out of the ordinary for the meal before, healthy low carb meal, and the first reading was 7.7!!! shocked with...

I don't think i can really help to give you some advise as at the moment Im on metformin. Do you keep a food diary and time of when you eat etc? i find that I can pretty much figure out what helps and not the BG using that information when I test my blood before meals and before bed. I can...

Thats brilliant news!!! Im trying low carbing just now most other meals I find that i can cope - its lunch that i dunno what i should have!

Just an update, i done my test first thing in the morning and it came back lower than the rest of the week, 7.1 not ideal for my average. Have since had a chat with the diabetic nurses and they say that its just the way that the body works and theres probably nothing i can do really. Think i...
