Pinch punch 1st day of the month! I’m disappointed with 6.5 mmols at 7:30am :rolleyes: Snap @ianpspurs I hate winter too. I don’t like wearing socks (I think I only own 1 pair!), I have to wear slippers in the winter and my hands go cold as soon as I touch something cold plus I have to wear...

Oops sorry my mistake x

Just curious not being antagonistic at all. Where did you get the 12g from? Reading the packet Each lolly weighs 110g and per 100g is 21g or 19g as per nutritional label.

Not really. It goes up by 1.5 mmols at 2 hours but I don’t know how quickly it comes down as I haven’t tested beyond that. I also haven’t tested on its own as usual have butter, cold meat or cheese in a sandwich I think I might try BG 2 hours after eating just the bread

5.6 mmols at 7:30. I’ve stopped the berberine as I’ve been getting a bad pain across my diaphragm and as that’s the only difference in my day-to-day I‘m suspecting that, I haven’t had it or the pain since I stopped taking it on Friday. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone x

I’ve just skipped through the posts so not read any in detail yet. But just to add I take dapagliflozin and eat very low carb most of the time. In the beginning I thought taking this drug would give me a bit more carb freedom but ended up with a UTI that lasted 3 weeks - very unpleasant. So now...

There are quite a few YouTube videos to help with low carb on a budget and ‘ketogenic woman’ (just to name one) lives in Canada so she may have some ideas for you for the things you can buy. I think trying your hardest to buy food that aren’t processed is the better way to go. Eggs, cheese, the...

Why have they taken you off linagliptin? Have they offered you anything else? IMO 7s and definitely 9s can cause long term damage. Have you tried to control your BG with low carb?

For Those who like strong cheese Lincolnshire Poacher can knock your socks off depending on where you buy it. I’ve noticed a big difference in strength if I buy it from a supermarket or farm shop. There is a wonderful cheese shop in Lincoln. Maybe a bit too far south for your visit @Antje77 Also...

Hi and welcome. If you’ve reduced your carbs you could be down on your electrolytes (magnesium, salt, potassium). This will get better and usually only lasts a couple of weeks until your body adjusts, but you can get an electrolyte supplement (I get mine from Amazon which I dissolve in water)...

Hello and welcome to the forum. You have joined a wonderful and supportive community. You will get lots of information about low carb. It’s good that you have a clued up diabetic nurse, as most (including mine) give out a diet sheet advising carbs with every meal :rolleyes: I think a BG...

6.5mmols at 7:45. I had a dreadful nights sleep :rolleyes: :confused: @Peanut234 Doesn't matter what time you get up but wash you hands and test within 10 mins of that time. Dawn phenomenon kicks in for most of us and BG starts to rise. Absolutely tipping it down here, looks like we’re going...

@DEBBIESCOTT no, not tried the mint leaves, thank you I’ll give that a go. I do feel guilty about all the plastic I’m using :confused: A 7.0 for Sunday boooooo! Obviously not trying hard enough and my back is really painful today :arghh: Have a lovely day everyone x
