Hello Eileen and welcome to the forum, the nice folk hear are usually willing to help if they can. I am fairly new here myself but folk have been good and patient. Mark

Hey folks Sometimes when I try to access this site and forum I get this pop up, this happens no matter what browser I use. Does this happen to anyone else?

Hi Netty, wow that was a quick result but sorry to hear about the low BG. I don't know what to advise but someone should be around to help. Maybe I crossed too much, I will just try crossing fingers next time as I kept bumping into things with my eyes crossed. Take care. Mark

Ha Ha I can try Netty but I might get some odd looks in the checkout que in Morrisons :lol: Mark

Good luck netty, got everything crossed for you, fingers, legs, eyes etc... just don't stress about it until you get the results... easier said than done I know :P Mark

Ok, as I sit here stuffed after my first forage into cooking a nice piece of Cod loin from Morrissons (and no flames in site). I thought I would let you know how I did it. Preheated oven to 1900c mixed a little olive oil with chopped parsley and rubbed into fish wrapped the fish with cooking...

I have only tried two finger prickers so far, the fastclix from accuchek and the one I got with my codefree meter. The fastclix doesn't seem too bad to me and if you ask accuchek nicely they may send you a free alt site testing cap it also has 6 lancets in a cartridge so you don't need to change...

I have just switched to the SD Codefree meter, I purchased it off Ebay, you get the Blood Glucose meter, a lancing device some lancets and 10 free testing strips with the basic kit, I purchased an extra 2 boxes of 50 strips in all it cost £21, I believe the testing strips are £6.99 for 50. I am...

I did ask, but she said that I don't need to test as I am on diet only, even when I said it would be helpful to find out what food effected me the most. She is more of a practice nurse than a diabetes nurse. I might ask the nurse that does the DESMOND course once I finally get on it. Thanks for...

Welcome to the forum, its a good place to be, full of friendly and helpful people. I have been diagnosed as type 2 for about a week and a half now and I have lost a little weight just by halving my carbs, having smaller portions and some daily gently exercise. It seams to be working for me so...

Thanks for the reply's folks. I haven't tried contacting the manufacturer so I can do that and see how much cheaper the strips are, although they would need to be a lot cheaper. I like the nano cause its easy to read and simple to use, however, I will get used to the codefree should the...

Bearing in mind that I have been up until a week or so ago a convenience food freak and that I am just beginning to explore the world of DIY cooking, I was wondering if any kind folk have suggestions on oven cooking the following. I purchased some ASDA cod loin (whatever that is) and would like...

Do you have to make sukrin bread yourself from a mix? Mark

Hello folks I am type 2 diet controlled with no meds (yet), I have been testing for a week now and I am currently using the Accuchek nano, however my budget wont stretch to paying for the strips, so I opted to buy a codefree meter this will make buying the strips affordable. I did a test on the...

+1 for burgen Soya and linseed bread, 1 slice toasted with 2 poached eggs sets me up in the morning. Mark

Oh! go on then. Mine is James.

Thanks Netty, yes it kind of worries me if I eat too much bread even the burgen so i try to limit it and make small changes each week. Next week I am switching to a sweetener for my coffee, either stevia or splenda I don't know which one yet. Mark Just an edit to say I went on my usual walk...

I went to se my DN yesterday and she sat and listened to why I was testing and why i had cut my carbs and surprisingly she didn't start yelling or making grumpy noises. She looked at my meal chart and my Blood sugar results and seen the results. Instead she went through my menu to see where we...

Hi Joe It can be overwhelming, its been just over a week for me and I can say the first few days my head was all over the place, through reading this forum and asking questions I don't feel as bad now, yes it still worries me as it should I guess. On the plus side your doing something about it...

I contacted my insurance company yesterday to let them know I had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes diet controlled, but they said that they only needed to know if DVLA had declared me unfit to drive. I don't know if this is typical of insurance companies though. This has worried me a bit...
