Just made a post prandial BG test, the SD Codefree 8.6 and the Glucomen LX Plus 7.1 :***: Rather a big difference. Which one to believe?

Carbs & Cals Book. I just ordered mine from Amazon.

Re: Can anyone recommend a sweetener without bitter aftertas Apparently Tesco is selling Total Sweet too, but the details say Carbohydrate* - 100g per 100 gr Is it a misprint? Can it be pure carbs? The same from Holland & Barrett list that as 4 gr carbs per serving (?). I presume that is...

See here Post meal test Glucomen LX plus 6.8 Codefree 6.2 :?

The fact is, that if you measure the same blood sample with 6 different devices from 6 different manufacturers, you will get 6 different results. Supposedly they are within 20 % accuracy. Just measured post meal SD Codefree 9.6, and Glucomen LX Plus 9.1. (Tinned baked beans on toast. Better...

Lancets can be reused more than once, I use them for 2 weeks at the time. (Make sure no one else is using your lancets!) I use the SD Codefree from Amazon, because it is one of the cheapest available for test strips, if you can't get them from the NHS.

Same here, (Type 2) It is a matter of economics. The NHS is over stressed, almost broke. I have bought my own meter "Codefree" from Amazon, because this is one of the cheapest for spare test strips (£ 16 for 100). lancets you can reuse, I change them once a month. I need to test, especially...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn I guess that the liver dumps glucose into the system to get you up and ready for the day. My readings are between 6 and 7 first thing in the morning. But I seldom measure before breakfast.

I have the app on my Nexus 7, but yet to figure out how it works. OK, study time. Got as far as the help pages, onwards and upwards. 8)

Being a relatively new to the diabetic forum, diagnosed Type 2 in June I keep my BG levels almost within limits, keep measuring 4/6 times a day. I would like to know how people are calculating their carb intake? Do you write down and calculate each item of food you are eating? For example, I...

Diagnosed T2 in June. I too have [intermittent] blurred vision and sensitivity to bright lights. Tomorrow I will have an eye test by the optician to find out more. Next month I am due to have an eye screening test for retinopathy as well. Meanwhile I am testing my BG levels daily, and managing...

Re: Forum android app and green dot by name I found that the Android app is not working, it is just stops at the front logo on my Nexus 7. I have to go into the browser to access the forum. Am I doing something wrong? :problem:

well, for me, as an early riser, up at 4:45 AM a bowl of porridge at 06:00 AM + 1 metformin 2 toast and a cup of tea at 09:00 am, Lunch 12:00 PM Snack (an apple) at 3:00PM Dinner 5:00 PM + 1 metformin Snack (bowl of porridge) at 8:30 PM 10:00 PM bedtime. BG levels within acceptable limits...

Applied for a free meter, arrived today. Just looked on Amazon, 50 test strips £21.35 I get 100 strips for £16.45 for my Codefree Meter. Glucomen 42p per strip, Codefree 16p per strip. :***: I think it is unlikely that NHS will pay for it. I'll ask my GP on my next visit. Post meal...

Just got my testing kit delivered, made a test 3 hours after "breakfast" which is always the same every day, 3 spoonfuls of porridge oats in the microwave, and a cup of tea. OK, first test: before meal 6.3 and 2 hours after 8.5 which I think within limits. At least I know what's going on.

Re: Granery bread I buy the Warburton's seeded (Five Seeds) batch loaf from Tesco's (85p) and found it very good.

Hi I am recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetes, on 3 x 500mg Metformin. I too purchased a CodeFree monitor, + 100 lancets, and 50 strips £25 for the lot from Amazon.co.uk My GP thinks that it is not necessary to test my BG, which I think is in line with NHS money savings. :eh: However, how...

I was diagnosed Type 2 in June this year, and I was 81 Kg. Today August 23, reduced to 72 Kg, but aiming to 67 Kg to be within normal weight according to the BMI chart. 5 more Kg to go, and keep it there! Quite pleased with the results. Metformin 3 x 500mg daily.
