My brother is using them for his fishing kit for shot and small fiddly bits, he asked me if I had any more yesterday, I told him no because the one i have is half full of test strips. He asked me if i could hurry up.... I test 6 times per day already :shock: Some of your uses had me chuckling...

I remember scooby doos, what about 'clackers' (could be regional name) they were a short handle with two peices of string that held hard balls on the end, the idea was to make the balls clack together. Very noisy and often painful experience.

Re: Comments on Low carb diet - a newbies guide hello folks just a quick question. I am currently on 60g of carbs per day, what should my fat intake be? Mark

I have a small collection of empty test strip containers now, and apart from recycling them in the usual way I was wondering if we could come up with other ways of using them, just like the wombles of old (very old). To start off I have a few suggestions. Emergency shot glass Fishing hook...

I just tested and my Blood glucose level hardly budged, it was 5.0 pre meal and 5.6 two hours post meal. I had to look twice to be sure that was the reading. Mark

Thanks folks I did them tonight using the foil/browning method and added an egg, mum had her favorite microchips (ugh), had some lettuce with them too and I am stuffed :P They weren't very big but were quite thick but 30 minutes took care of it. Mark

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn For the last few days the highest has been 6.0 and the lowest has been 5.2. I am now using a SD Codefree meter so the readings could be a wee bit high. Mark

Hi Linnes welcome to the forum there's a lot of us that are newly diagnosed and it can feel like there is too much to learn, but as others have said it takes a little time to get used to it. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago now and I am on diet control, your doctor may want to try that approach...

Firefox 22.0 also it was happening on Chrome and I remember also trying IE10 which is why I ran the scans at the time because I thought it was my laptop. Mark

Hi guys, I checked that everything was up to date, I ran my antivirus and both spybot search and destroy and malawarebytes. Everything came back clear. It doesn't happen all the time just occasionally, It has not happened for a few days now. I always cancel unusual actions that I haven't...

If we were all the same with the same tastes in art and literature then the world would be a boring place. What one person finds interesting to read another thinks its a huge pile of rubbish. For instance I was given a book when I was a teenager by my older brother (a minor miracle in itself)...

The book is much better in my opinion, one of my all time favorites. I have just finished the third book in 'The Hunger Games' trilogy and cant wait to see the second movie. I am going to start watching 'Band of Brothers' tonight after Casualty. Mark

Probably give her a good laugh :P

Hey folks. I care for an elderly and arthritic parent full time, as such I don't get much time to myself for exercising until she has gone to bed. I am concerned that I don't get enough exercise so I was thinking of getting one of those wee steppers and maybe using it for half an hour per night...
