Thank you Levy, didnt know that so will be really careful when I do have a drink :)

Certainly cheered me up for the rest of the day :lol:

Thanks cugila, as you know I am new to this so never thought to search on here - will do from now on :D

I must agree with HLW, I can usually tell the difference but at the moment even bread tastes very sweet (or maybe I am just really wierd :lol: ). Thanks HLW I will recheck everytime I order :)

Thank you dib and Sue, really had no idea. Will deffo have cans or bottles next time I go to the pub, or sneak my own in :lol:

Welcome Danielle. I have just found out I have type 2, I was on the verge of GD when pregnant with my daughter but was very lucky (only had to cut out sweeties for a while). I just want to wish you all the best and let you know that someone will be along to give you more advice :D Check out...

Thanks to everyone who posted. Didn't know about pump diet coke - anyone know why this is?? Am now having a glass of red wine. If I get a headache I know its off limits - will let you know. :lol:

Can only answer from what I have learned on here, hopefully someone else with be able to give you more info. I believe that it is something to do with the liver releasing sugar early in the morning and is call Dawn Phenomenom (perhaps you could google and see what results you get). Hope this...

Can anyone recommend snacks - I am hungry all the time and even though I have a fairly lo-carb/sugar meal I am starving afterwards. Do I need to go for diabetic stuff of just lo-fat etc. All help will be appreciated 8)

Hi all, many thanks for reading the post. Could anyone suggest which alcohol is best - I usually drink cider, vodka with diet coke or rose wine. I realise they are all high in sugar and would love someone to recommend something that I can drink occasionally and enjoy even in diabetes. :D

So sorry Jeannie, felt sorry for myself and should realise that there are other people worse off than me. Diabetes is just like a dog - for life. Am not on medication yet as the nurse is waiting for results from HBa1c to see which would be best. Hope yours works rapidly for you so you can go...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Was having a really bad day. Feeling much better today :D and going through the fridge and cupboards to see what I can eat (not much unfortunately - any excuse to go shopping lol). Got a few weeks off docs appointments so will make the most of it and...

Well I can't believe it!!! Thought I was quite healthy - but no my cholesterol is 7.5, nearly fell through the floor. Annnnd my bp is up even higher. Doc has now put me on Simvastatin for my cholesterol and Ramipril for my BP (I think). Got to see lots of other people (good job I am a "people...

Thank you. Have got regular arm to should be ok. Appreciate the tip tho :D

Ah boo. Was trying to look on the bright side!!! Oh well at least I have support on here and from my hubby. Hopefully the doc will sort out my BP - last reading was 153/126. Will let you know tomorrow :?

Found out my last result was 7.0 after getting a 7.5 yippee. Can anyone tell me if this still means I am diabetic or not. Your help is appreciated. PS have got to see doc tomorrow anyway for this and also for BP as it is way too high :( Just want to put my mind at ease.

I am pretty new to this, my first test was 7.5 and I was told I was deffo diabetic - omg did I panic so I can understand how you feel to a certain degree. Best thing is to see your GP and go from there. Hope you get on ok. Let us know :)

Not sure if this will help, I get itching all over and the doctor prescribed me an extra strong anti-histamine. The ones over the counter dont work. The name is Loratidine 10mg. Might be worth a try :)

I have just been diagnosed with T2 and high blood pressure. This post has made me realise it is not the end of the world but chance to start fresh. Keep up the good work and I will let you know how I go. Many thanks :)

I have recently had the above result and am awaiting results from another test taken yesterday. My doc says I am diabetic but how can she tell from one result. I eat healthily and don't use sugar. I don't class myself as overweight 12 stone,5.8 height and 37 years old. Can anyone put my mind at...
