Good morning everyone hope you are all well today I'm writing this on my morning stroll to work. Bright and sunny today feeling happy and positive even with a chest infection. I have got myself some nuts on my way to work today try beat the hunger after work. I haven't really eaten nuts before...

Haven't posted for a couple of days but 5.1 this morning and have been consistently in the 4s and 5s for 2 weeks now so really pleased have a good day

Know that feeling well. I am constantly tired and always asleep 9 and 10. I then wake up 4/5 times a week during the night and can be awake for hours, then doze off for a little while then my alarm wakes e for work. It's awful. I try stay awake longer but that doesn't help and end up still...

Thanks everyone. I like the idea of nuts and will take look at the scream thread @nosher8355. I sometimes have a cracker bread as well as they are low carb or a piece of cheese. The training we were having just happened to get cancelled, so I was so glad of that, just marked the children's...

Aawww wow that's amazing news well done @eldergarth really pleased for you.

Thank you @amgrundy for your kind words and support. I guess that I'm just having an off day, not the first and certainly won't be the last I'm betting. Hope you have had a good day ☺

Really sorry to moan and rant, but feeling a little down . I am trying so hard to stick to a healthy diet, avoid things that I know will spike me and seen a real improvement in my BG readings over the last 8/9 weeks, which I am so pleased with. I just feel so restricted, fed up of constantly...

I was on 80mg twice daily and I went through a rough patch for a few months. I didn't take any medication, and ate a lot of rubbish foods that I knew I shouldn't. I then realised that I couldn't carry on doing what I was doing and went to docs who retested my bloods. HBA1C levels were high and...

I have been diabetic T2 for quite a few years now and have only been testing for the past 5 weeks. My doctor has been reluctant to prescribe me strips but after years of no improvement and hba1c rising, he agreed to allow me to test. Since testing within 5 weeks I am beginning to lower my BG...

Sorry no it is with the 2.8 and 3.2, but h that has not happened for a couple of days so maybe my body adjusting to new dosage. Thank you for your reply, just trying to get to grips with new dosage.

Good evening and hope everyone is well and having a good day. Two weeks ago my gliclazide was doubled from 80mg twice a day up to 160 mg twice a day. After food I have tested and bloods going lower and sometimes having to have another snack to bring them up ad going ad low ad 2.8 and 3.2 after...

Good morning 5.3 today have a good day ☺

5.1 this morning ☺

I should have had a delivery today of test strips but hey have not arrived and ran out so going blind at the minute. I have put in a repeat prescription request today for my regular medication, and have added strips onto it, so fingers crossed my GP will issue them for me. Hope everyone is well...

Hello and welcome. Everybody is different as to what they can tolerate and in what quantities, and you will find this out for yourself as you continue testing. If I'm not mistaken type 2 should be anything under 8.5, 2 hours after food from what I have researched. All rice contains carbohydrates...

Hi and thanks for that information, really helpful. does it apply to non drivers? Having the strips whilst on gliclazide as unfortunately I don't drive.

4.9 this morning have a good day everyone xx

Good morning 4.3 today

Don't worry, no you're not, it was the way I phrased my post. Hope you have had a good day and enjoy the rest of your evening.

My doctor never gave me a meter and strips when I started on gliclazide. Was still told don't need to test. It was only 2 weeks ago that I was prescribed a meter because I was having problems and feeling unwell. I have yet to ask for them on repeat, we shall see what reaction I get when I do in...
