A question on levels after meal. Colleague said a reading under 10 2 hours after a meal was OK. I disagreed. Opinions?

So far a bagel for breakfast...big mistake. BS 9.7 2 hours after. So bagels off the shopping list!

Bewildered, sounds similar to me. I take levothyroxine too. Cholesterol down to 4.1 from 5.5 but hb1a 7.6. I'm on a diet and losing weight thankfully

8.7! Only got my new kit and extra strips yesterday. Not tested for 2 years as refused strips by doctor. So bought it. Very surprised. Will have to read up on low GI food and find what sends mine up again. Back to sore fingers.

Small banana, small apple, tea was chicken and mushroom slice with mixed veg

I get told every time I mention testing strips to my doctor. Nurse gave me a new monitor but refused strips on prescription by doctor. Told I don't need it. Then I get told I should be keeping a better hold of my diabetes!! Can't win. So now waiting for kit and strips from amazon

I can get up between two and four times a night. It's gotten slightly better since I cut down on amount of coffee I drink. Plus changing fizzy drinks and juice for water.

Small banana, small apple, small yoghurt and tea is chicken, wild rice and veg

I had to keep going to the toilet, had food cravings (lemon curd/jam sandwiches) and full sugar coke for months, severe mood swings, clamminess, losing weight and shaking hands. Felt really grotty and out of it. Literally 'off with the fairies'. Went to doctors eventually who sent me for blood...

I've never been sent on a course either. I got couple if leaflets and that was it. I'm type 2. Maybe that's why?

After advice from people on this forum I went on Amazon. I bought codefree kit and testing strips. At a fraction of the other strips. Only thing to do as no strips from the doctor
