    Look What I Got Last Night :)

    Its so motivating too. Never mind slowly. I have about 2/3rds of the way to go, and as long as the tendency is downwards I'm happy. I'm in no real hurry anyway, and my most important goal is to keep my BGs stable and within range :) Oh, of course I wouldn't mind being able to wear the clothes I...

    Bought Victoza On A Very Hot Day

    Thanks kitedoc. True. I think it could've been a problem on that particular day. As far as I remember it was one of the hottest days, which would've made it 32 rather than 30 C. On the other hand it was only kept out of a fridge for 3 hours at the most, and not 30 days. It's probably ok then...

    Consistently High Glucose Readings

    That does sound rather high. I was told to get in touch with my DN if mine rose above 18, so perhaps you should consider doing that?

    Bought Victoza On A Very Hot Day

    I hope someone can tell me what happens to victoza if it's been transported in temps around 30 C for a couple of hours or three? I forgot to bring an ice pack when I bought 5 pens on a very hot day, so I wrapped them up in several layers of old mags instead, but my BGs seem to be slowly on the...

    Is There Any Financial Assistance To Peoples In Other Country?

    I wonder if it wouldn't depend on which state you live in? I hope that other members will come to your rescue with useful replies.

    Article On Ultra-processed "foods".

    This is an old'ish article, I know, so this link might have been posted already. If it has, please excuse me. It's a scary read, but good to see that the Scandinavian countries have been omitted from the map. However, I'm not so sure it means that we don't eat processed foods at all ;)...

    3 Milestones In 1 Day

    I absolutely loved reading your post. Perhaps even more so after watching the gloomy Panorama documentary with people having 4 weetabix topped with frosties for breakfast, geez! I wish that even more people knew that there is a solution Congratulations, and thanks for being so encouraging. That...

    Diabetic Gum Disease Is Good For Me.

    It hurts when I chew, or even drink a glass of water, but hey presto, BGs are down to below 5. Its called IF for Involuntary Fasting. My husband the blacksmith (no, really he's a carpenter) treats me with chlorhexidine in a dental syringe morning and evening :hilarious: Funny? Well, I have to...

    How Do You Deal?

    Or even do away with the base part, and flip the rest. I blame the food pyramid for my obesity and T2, as when younger I believed that if I became fatter and fatter, it must be because I did it wrong and ate too little from the base (carbs), and thus ate more from it. I took the food pyramid as...

    Hi Cathy, I'm T2, but just wanted to welcome you as a fellow lover of (nearly) all things gadgety :)

    Scared To Eat

    If nobody in your household eats them, why don't you either bin them or give the unopened ones to a food bank? Or, when you look at them, remember what they tasted like and imagine you're eating them. Chances are that you'll think 'naah, they weren't that good after all'. I do that with chocolate :)

    What Is Next?

    Hi sweetdave, Yes, you still have to watch your diet and if I were you I'd check my BG too, to keep it under control. Your diabetes is dormant at the moment, but could easily wake up if you're not careful. I wasn't back in the last decade. Please see my sig.
