I had called them yesterday and they advised me to up my insulin (which I did) they said give it until next week then call them back but they suspect i may need to change the insulin regime.
Quite an achievement @Debandez i sliced mine before freezing to eek them out more ! Those German Lidl rolls are big!
Hi I tend to eat relatively low carb (I was eating lower but since the insulin the DSN told me to increase slightly).
I thought that was her! I watched this video from the link off Twitter. I see a few members from here on Twitter!
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in July 2018, and I perhaps have become a little obsessed about it. I test more than I perhaps should, since my blood glucose levels have pretty much stabilized. I know one reason I get very upset with a higher reading is when there's no reason for it. I didn't eat carbs or sugar, I'm not ill or stressed out, etc. I find an unexplained spike can really throw me off my day, because then I obsess about it.
I've spent ages reading scores of papers and watching a mass of genuine experts on blood sugars and it seems that elevated blood sugars appear to be the root cause of many, many diseases. As I'd like to live as long as possible in a healthy state as possible, I do, within the confines of reasonable behaviour do what I can to keep my sugars low
Sorry to hear after all the stress and faff of the eye test the outcome was so infuriating. Having defended UK health service so often, I do think the you are diabetic so that accounts for it card is often rolled out as a catchall diagnosis to save time/money.
Good morning and welcome to the thread.
neithskye I woke to a 5.8...didn't bother with breakfast then took the dog for a good long walk...got home tested I was 6.0...it will come down later I should have eaten a little something before I walked...I did get stressed in the past with a higher than I would like reading...not now though...I know it will come down later in the day and I refuse to get stressed with an isolated BG reading.
