Thanks everyone who replied with suggestions etc I had an appointment through to see my diabetic nurse yesterday morning (6 month review) so it will be top of my list to ask about :) It does seem fine ... but won't take chances :)

Last night, while hurriedly preparing dinner, (due to being late back from mum's) I dropped the hot pirex dish full of vegetables and it smashed to smithereens! Unbeknown to me .. a small shard of glass got into my slipper. It caused no problem, but, this morning I got up and slid on my slippers...

Freema, can I just ask .... how do you know when you've gone low during the night? Does it wake you up?

5.7 this cold and frosty morning!

I think, upon diagnosis, it is enough to take in for most of us ... without them scaring us by going into such detail. A lot of us wouldn't cope with all the medical jargon and we just need to know how severe it is and what steps to take to deal with both control of the disease and with our...

That sounds like a good idea and thanks for the suggestion x

Yes ... they ARE large squares, but I rarely have more than one ... sometimes two. A bar lasts me a couple of weeks so it tells you that I don't often have it

Neither of you mention physical activity? Are you exercising enough to help the body to perform at it's optimum? I know it helps and just relying on calorie control is stressful ... at least for me!

Oooo thank you for that.I shall have to check it out. The only other thing I eat is 85% chocolate sometimes, but I do only have one or sometimes two squares, so I don't think it's that.

For the first time since diagnosis ten months ago ... my blood glucose levels have not once gone above 8 all weekend! Today was even better than yesterday, and my highest reading during the whole of the day was 7.3 My only gripe ... well there has to be one ... is that I've put on just over 4lbs...

Hi Maureen. I buy the Scott's Porage Oats OLD FASHIONED. It says on the box Thick Scottish Milled Oats. I pour a substantial amount into an air tight container and then add all the other ingredients mentioned apart from the fresh berries. It's very filling and tasty too.

My doctor refused too, and so I got my own meter and if you buy the strips two boxes at a time they are quite cheap

5.8 again this morning and (amazingly) 5.8 after one hour, and again when testing at almost two hours! This muesli I'm concocting for breakfasts is surely a winner! Recipe Oats. Chia seeds. Flax seeds. Pumpkin and Sunflower seeds. Minute amount of raisins, dried cranberries, and Rye flakes. I...

Is this only availble for mobile phones/tablets do you know? I'd love to know instantly what's in my food but I only have my laptop

Mine was 5.9 this morning and surprisingly it only rose to 6 after my breakfast!

Great result and in such a short time too! I keep 'attempting' the low carb diet but I'm not a big meat eater so find it hard, having less choice of foods. I hope to get there one day LOL :) I am so pleased for you!

Hey thanks everyone! So many of you seem to think it's okay, but I worry because of my eyes. I already have the most aggressive form of Glaucoma, and my first diabetic eye test two months ago showed that I already have background retinopathy (and I've only known about being type 2 for ten...

I have to say that most of the time I'm quite good at keeping my blood glucose levels in check but (naughty me) after my cheese omelette tonight, I gave in to a desire for a toffee apple steamed pudding. I did add fresh raspberries and double cream to it ... weak attempt to lesson the damage ...
