Sounds like you enjoyed your day - fabulous. There is an Xpert course in my area that I wasn't sure about attending but after reading your post I will get my DN to refer me, thank you and I will also look forward to day 2's posting :D

Have been lucky so far that needles dont bother me. I do find it easier if I don't look and think of what I have to do later in the day etc shopping, going for walk what book to read next. Try that, hope it works for you or maybe you could ask about sedation to make it a bit easier - had a...

Didnt see the program but wil try and catch it on 4od. Honestly didn't realise that food was that bad in some hospitals. I have only ever been in 2, Shrewsbury and RJAH Orthopeadic and can honestly say the food was superb as was the select and choice of portion size :) sorry some of you have not...

Now now boys, play nice :lol:

I ain't going anywheres lol

Started RamiPril 5mg on the same day, got another app in 3 weeks. Have ordered a free meter from Accu Chk should get in a few days :) thanks for the tip

Thank you will check it out and get phoning. last BP was 162/123 on Tuesday. Eyes tested about 6 months ago :)

FAb suggestion Nigel, my sister in law is phoning me later, as she had thought ahead, to discuss the menu (great minds). Patch and cugila I appreciate both your suggestions and really don't mind how you get the info across :lol:

Thank you for your reply. can you recommend a meter please as not sure what to look for. Am on meds for high bp and cholesterol but was getting headaches and tiredness before that. Will go for test tomorrow and see what happens. Feels like I have been on constant diet for years - even tried...

Have already tried that Patch, but that doesnt really leave me much else to eat - apart from meat and cheese etc which is bad for my cholesterol and bp. It seems I can win - sorry to moan :cry:

Dont know about levels because they also wouldnt give me a monitor - only reason I thinks its too high is the headaches and falling asleep :(

Patch you are correct. I am a foodie (but not overweight) - even though I want food all the time I do have a small portion :lol: of will power. The pasta would deffo have me asleep in no time so the suggests of just meat and veg/salad is excellent. My levels and nowhere near controlled as...

Have been told I can't start this until I get the results of the HBa1c test (which I was told to have done next week!!! and then wait until the week after to get the results :( ). Does this sound right????

Also a good suggestion, thank you Nigel :)

Thanks Patch, not on meds yet but have left message with DN as cant keep going on like this. Am find it easier not to eat - at least I stay awake. Will try your suggestion of meal and let you know how it goes - sounds delicious :D

I didnt think I had anything wrong until they diagnosed me and then I realised that I was drinking loads and peeing all night. Try not to worry and they will sort you out :)
