    Feeling like I’m cheating

    Thankyou , I just didn’t want too get the results and rely on those results (piece of mind) if they weren’t going too be somewhat right , I don’t expect 100% accuracy but who does? I just would a good estimate :) xx

    Feeling like I’m cheating

    Feeling like I’m cheating

    You see , I did mention this too my GP , they stated the reason they put my on insulin was due to me being pregnant and needing my sugars to improve rapidly which wasn’t really the case , as I needed too increase my dosage in stages. I just haven’t had any more visits too my GP or hospital and...

So I do think my sugars change with my exercise , also I find...

    Unsure readings

    My average morning rate is around 5.8 after breakfast and 4.5-5.3 upon waking. I take insulin (novorapid) with each meal. I haven’t had a high reading in around 6weeks. The other day I took my sugar readings at 7.58 and it was 8 , this was very unusual for me as I eat the exact same everyday and...
