I find this to be a great meal, bacon, eggs, tomato fried, then throw an avocado in. It’s delicious and quick!

I think I’ll go and watch if I could. My team (Colchester) only get around 2k fans anyway and I managed one game in December.... the protocols in place meant I felt very safe and could watch the game with very little risk to myself. It helps that 2k people in a 10k west stadium mean there is a...

I honestly didn’t even know I’d had mine! I looked away and the woman had to tell me it was over! I was anxious about it as well so I totally can relate!

Over 24 hours now since Pfizer jab. Sore arm continues although it really is mild, I wouldn’t lay on it tho. I feel very tired suddenly last night but that only lasted 2 hours and when it came to bedtime, I just could not sleep at all! Struggled to nod off but I have to say, so far today I feel...

So i had mine this morning at 9am but it was the Pfizer vaccine which surprised me! I was expecting Astrazenica. Anyway, the process was incredibly smooth quick and Easy. The injection was over in seconds and I didn’t even know it had happened. Five hours later and all I can report is the...

It has been a long road for us all. Especially us diabetics. I feel so torn... I should be happy Kim getting the vaccine.... but instead I am so nervous. Hopefully it will go well and I won’t suffer any adverse reactions. I feel motivated by the stories shared on this thread which are...

I have booked mine for Wednesday morning. I have to say, I am feeling very anxious about it. I tend to avoid medicine if I can.... rarely ever take painkillers even when I have headaches etc. Didn’t react well with Metformin so stopped that. Also intake citalopram 20mg per day. My latest hba1c...

Ok, worth knowing. I’ve been drinking unusually high amounts of it for a while...... I knew there’d be something!!!! I’ll save it for those special Occasions

Hi Jim, thanks for that. Why wouldn’t you go overboard on sparkling water? Is there a health reason for that or purely because of the taste?! Thanks, Jon

Testing was the single most useful and powerful tool in my dealing with T2 diagnosis. I tested like crazy at first but after a while you start to realise what you can and can’t eat. This really helped me to Change and manage my diet for the better. I also recommend reading the diabetes code by...

Awesome story! The before and after pictures are epic! Seriously, posts like this are motivating and inspirational. Firstly, well done you and keep it up, secondly thank you for sharing and inspiring!!!! Good work!!!!!

Ok brilliant, so now it’s working the next 12 days will be interesting. That 10 is a bit worrying but obviously rice is going to do that. I had a takeaway curry last night and made cauliflower rice at home with it. Was amazing. Forgot to test but this morning was 5.9 finger prick test so hope I...

How frustrating?! That’s disappointing. Maybe worth starting a new thread to see other people’s experiences? Fingers crossed it settles down and gives you readings you can trust. Did you have rice with your curry?! A new curry place opened at the end of our street. We’re thinking of getting...

Interesting, I’m sure it will settle down and yeah, the trends will be good to see. I’ll keep my eyes out for your progress.

Oh interesting. I looked at that and think it will be a good investment to really understand how my body is doing. I’ll be interested to hear how you get on. Enjoy your weekend!!!!

Yes! I agree that it is so frustrating how random the readings are.... I tend to categorise them into 5-7 Ok range.... 7-8 better do something an 8+ you’ve been an idiot again. I tried three back to back tests once and they were all over the place. However, I have now learnt that chips and...

Ah yes a walk would have been a good idea!!!! I was very flat out with work today and stress would definitely have played a part I imagine. Just checked 5 hours later and down to 6.4. Have a headache as well now. Oh well, time to start thinking about dinner and I’ll be very good!!!!

Yes! I have been so good and resisted so many things, countless times in last 6 months..... but I just crumbled.... Fearful for the damage it may be causing on my body but I’ll have to refocus my efforts now. Three and a bit hours I’m logging 8.8mmol..... I hope it’ll return to under 6 soon

My lunch today came with a free complimentary flat bread. I looked at this bread for a while and made a poor decision to eat. Gone from 5.4 to 10.9 at the last check 2.5 hours later...... Wwwhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy??????

If anyone struggles to sleep.... watch that England game from tonight. Shocking
