I have so many meters my head spins. however I have decided to go with the codefree as the strips are peanuts comparatively. the codefree reads lower than my glucomen etc. I tend to look for trends rather than an absolute. Choose one that your happy with and stick with it or your head will fall...

I have recently been getting up in the mornings with FBS 5.0 now on 1 metformin and been type 2 for 8 years. With this in mind I have been on several works doos drinking lots of beer, wine and spirits. No real increase so i'm expecting a very boozy crimbo. Sticking to less than 50g carbs for the...

Well you are breathalyzed at the scene and if a positive test is given they read you your rights and you are arrested and taken to the station where you blow into the much more accurate machine which gives a digital readout. What was the digital readout?

I take a centrum multi vitamin, also a magnesium calcium and vitamin d tablet, also coq10 and alpha lipoic acid. I also take other supplements pre and post gym as I weight train......I love popping pills me...I also only eat real food keto diet and I feel great....if you can afford it and you...

Your blood sugars are high. The first thing I would do in your situation is limit my carbs per meal to about 20g. this should start to bring your blood sugars down to single figures. If they are not lower after maybe 5 days (usually they will improve immediately) reduce it to 15g etc. you can...

I'm guessing that your tolerance for carbohydrates is very low. I would speak with your doctor about doing a short experiment of dropping your carbs to less than 50 per day and adjusting your medication accordingly. you are on various meds so you will need her support. If she refuses to assist...

lol...........no its not just you but you know that by now. Whilst I am in no doubt that I do bore people with all that is type 2. At least 4 of my workmates have experimented with ketosis and several friends have adopted a permanent low carb diet. Spread the word and keep the faith.

I personally would not worry about saturated fats unless my total cholesterol went above maybe 8 or 9. when I told my doctor this he went a funny shade of purple. At 1 point my TC was 7.5 but it has since dropped to 6.4.

4x500 is the max dose according to the leaflet. have you tried to support the metformin with lo carb? lower carb will make a huge difference, Even if you just drop rice, pasta, potatoes and flour products.

I have lunch at 11.30am and dinner is about 6.00pm Mon to Friday (this short fast period is easy as i'm at work). Saturday and Sunday is a full English at about 9.00am dinner at about 5.00pm. Rarely more than 50g of carbs per day unless I go to the pub for beers. I rarely snack and am rarely...

Well I had a look and I noted Freeist dark chocolate total carbs 47.5 per 100g. however Green and Blacks 85% dark chocolate (similar for most 85% dark chocolate) total carbs 22.5 per 100gms. The only difference is the added sugar. for me I dont care about measuring added sugar I just look at...

I have to say 18 months back when I went keto I stopped the beers but about 6 months (not exactly sure of the time span) back I brought beer back into my life. I drink mostly coors lite, at least once a fortnight I go into town and get proper drunk. my blood sugars drop rapidly to around 4mmol...

My favorite album is Who's Next. I have 2 bikes, a BMWs1000r sport (2016 model) and a GSXR 600 (1999 model) I also have a car for shopping at lidl (I need somewhere to stash the protein rolls)

Hi Rik, That's quite an entrance, Welcome.

Like you I get a modest increase but I put that down to the milk or the variation in my test strips. either way I need coffee in my life.

Once your over 50 the evidence suggests high cholesterol is linked to longer life. I would celebrate your cholesterol and tel the doctor definitely no statins. my TC fluctuates between 6.4 and 7.4 with a HDL of 1.6. I ditched the statins 18 months ago due to memory issues and general aches and...

I didn't say anywhere in my post that it was OK. and seeing as it's not OK for you then you would be wise not to drink it. I however like to get rip roaring drunk and sugar free drinks help with that. I also made reference to 'risk averse' suggesting there may be some risk but maybe the subtlety...

If your risk averse then no its not. I like sugar free drinks especially vodka and coke and gin and slimline...been drinking them for decades....I don't see myself stopping any time soon. cheers

I get mine from here and take them for the same reason. you can probably get cheaper on amazon but you don't know what's in them, this company has excellent products. I take 200mg daily https://www.naturesbest.co.uk/page/find/?src=gonato&name=Coq10&page=1

In a diabetic top trumps of bread. Lidl protein rolls are clear winners.
