7.1 Last post for a while as i have run out of strips.

Thank you for the info. i have stored it. I will wait to see nurse and ask for everything. If she says no too then i will probably buy CodeSD as it looks like the most reasonable. I cant test myself now for a few days as i have had to send off for more strips (£23 for 50). Being a pensioner...

£60-£80 a week is a great incentive! I know its time, i have smoked for over 55 years. I am disappointed she wouldnt give me a bg machine but will continue with the one given me by a friend. I have to know my bg everyday, its important to me.

Whoops!! Thank you.

Ok, i will start adding it. Also been told a spoonful of Fenugeek seeds every morning is good.

Saw Dr. today for first month check. Blood test was to see how my body is coping with Metformin and apparently all is fine. Found out my initial blood test showed 73 (not 45 as i thought). Told this was very high but i have not a clue what it means. Wont know new figure until beginning of...

Got first check-up tomorrow. Hoping for a good result. I am going to ask for a bg monitor and hoping our surgery does this. Got eye exam at end of November, cant wait. I need to know that my eyes are ok or get early warning.

8.3 :)

I have not counted carbs or protein. I am too involved in this bg thing at the moment. But last night i had kebab meat (lamb) and salad, (rather alot), and 2 hours after i was 7.6. That was alot of protein and very little carbs. I am just trying to restrict carbs right down to a minimum.

I didnt do one :(

:joyful:

7.9 :happy:

7.4 bg. 2 hours after lunch of mince and brown pasta. Lowest yet since diagnoses 4 weeks ago. I AM SO CHUFFED!!
