6.9!

This falling may be a symptom of something more serious and will need to be reviewed. Don't take chances with things like this.

This is a good place to be. All information is based on real life experience from people who have lived with diabetes for many years. Welcome to the forum.

Back down to 4.9.

I've never been told not to test bgl's. My GP's first question when I see her is 'have you tested lately'.

Be careful of these 'miracle' cures, as they cause more grief than joy!

23.4! Back down to 10.5 and falling.:banghead::arghh::yuck:

2 hours is a fairly standard time for testing. On occasion I will test after 1 hour during times of illness. 8.3 is a respectable bgl if it falls below that point over time. There will always be a rapid spike initially after meals, so it is essential to control it over the two hour period prior...

Welcome to the forum @jimc63, smart move getting the glucose meter. You need to know where you are with glucose level throughout the day. Keep records of your finding and keep them fir gp visits. Aim fir a range around 4.9 to 7.0. It's not easy but over time you get the hang of it. Keep your...

After 2 months of this, I have reached the peak and am now on the mend. Special thanks to the forum team for all your help and support. Could not have done this alone.:hungover: :arghh::banghead:

Thank you. Getting better as we speak.

A big effort there!

Down to 6.8. Made it!

Amen.
