That's a more positive thing then, Ally. Your GP is a better bet than your nurse at this stage, I believe.

Well done Ally for making that appointment . You really need more help with your diet and control which your doctor should be able to give you. Good luck on the 20th x

Of course you don't feel well, your BG is very high...it sucks to wait 9 days

Do you have urine ketostrips to test for ketones?
If not you can get some from the chemist for 5 quid. I would go to A&E and get checked out properly for free and they will fix your BG while you're there

According to her profile, Ally was last on here about 8:00 on Thursday morning. Hope things are OK Ally.

What sort of readings are you getting on your own meter Ally?
