Sure, it was 3.8

Morning all, been a loooooong time since I've been on here. Well, things have changed a bit. Now on metformin and glimepiride [emoji849] anyhow, I was warned that I may have hypos with the glimepiride, it finally happened this morning. Got the shakes, feeling dissy and light headed, had to...

That’s interesting. My diet isn’t the best as it is but I do try and make my dinners where I can. I may give that go.

No worries, you weren’t to know [emoji41]

Hi, I had read that it can take some time to settle and that some people cannot take it at all. But I guess we’ll see. [emoji846]

Hi, I don’t usually suffer with white coat fortunately. I have my own monitors for both. The blood pressure is an average figure taken from measurements of 3 times a day for a week. Unsurprisingly, the highest figures were on a sunday evening/ Monday morning. (Previously I have had 24hr blood...

Morning, Haven't posted for quite some time on here. Whilst my blood sugars haven't got worse (between 49-51) my blood pressure has increased, now on average 143/95 this is even with current blood pressure medication (take a combination of pills). So, we (me and the Dr.) agreed to increase...

I have been diagnosed with Type 2 for just over a year now, my hba1c started off at 49, dropped to 42 now up at 51. My Diabetes nurse has threatened me with medication which I don't want so am trying really hard to be good. however, mentally, although I know I have diabetes, I 'forget' about...

Hi All, thanks for the replies. Definitely not fungus! Although I do get thrush if I have penicillin. This is just dry itchy skin between bottom and bits and bobs but sometimes really need to give the ball bag a good scratch too. Maybe just a man thing..... Although I will get checked, just...

Apologies, this is a bit sensitive. I sometimes get really itchy, dry skin between my bottom and bits and bobs and sometimes the bits and bobs. I think this generally occurs when I have had too much sugar intake in one form or another. Is this normal and, what do you use to sooth it? I normally...

@Mrsass I must admit, I didn't test after I had the sugar intake but I did feel much better though. @Jordi77 Well, that was kind of what I was thinking. Particularly if 'technically' your results come back at 4.0 and under you are classed as having a hypo regardless of diabetes type...

I think I've had a hypo. Although the NHS diabetes Nurse recons Type 2's cannot get hypos. I say think, as I had a bit of an episode this afternoon when I came over all funny, felt as if I'd hadn't eaten for several days, really light headed, legs went all jelly. Grabbed the finger prick...

hi @bulkbiker it was a sarcastic pre-form assumption of any type of food diet or not that is supposed to be good for you :) A bit of a personal joke for me :p I have been having a look around particularly on here about food types, fat types, sugars etc. and everything in between. Thanks for...

Hi @liam1955 Yes, I did have those symptoms. I wasn't too concerned about it as I have always been like that for years and have had several blood tests that would have flagged it up previously. This is also complicated by me being a smoker as well for the last 23 years which has always made...

Evening all, My name is Allen and I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Well, I say recently, it was approximately 5 months ago by accident. I have a few other health issues, mainly high blood pressure, Asthma and Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. As part of the medication I...
