Sounds like very good advice. One gets a lot of that here.

I have one on order from Amazon. Thanks for all the advice.

If you have the results it would be reasonable to assume that the Dr has also seen them. A lot goes on behind the scenes in a surgery. But I am sure you are aware of that. Please be patient.(No pun intended). I was left hanging around for ten weeks before I received confirmation as a T2. in...

I'm a LC person but not a NC one. I love Cumberland pie. (Minced beef or lamb buried under a layer of mashed pots and covered with cheese, Chedder, of course. I don't have it often but in small doses and that way I don't raise the BG. But two small slices of wholemeal bread and I'm away. Every...

Thanks for all the advice from you good people. I shall try the cheapest method first and see how I progress.

What ways should we officially dispose of our used lancets and test strips.?

I'm with robinredbreast . On advice I bought a tin of glucose sweets six months ago. Not expensive. As yet have had no need to open the tin. Will I ever ? I will leave them in my will to you. Keep watching this site and you will learn much useful information. Have a great day. I admire you for...

Take Torqpenderloin's advice. I did not, and felt a real fool clinging to the banister rail in a museum having climbed two flights. The meal was good though. My better half helped me down the stairs to the cafe where I recovered, sort of. You really have to take great care what you eat, but it...

Good for you LadyV. I tried many times to beat the fat but it wasn't until I was diagnosed T2 that I was persueded to take things seriously. Since September of last year I have lost over 2 Stone and still going. All that with Metformin 2 x 500 and my own version of a LCHF with several miles of...

On average I use under 100 carbs a day and average 1000 cals, but they do vary considerably from day to day. Being 82 I do not do a lot of exercise. About 2 to 4 miles brisk walk on most days (If my ancient knees will allow.) I do manage to keep my bg within range. (Mostly). Over the past 8...

I love your attitude. New shoes or a new handbag. Sounds just like someone I know.

I have had similar pain over many years, but mine is in the neck. I have crumbled discs. I have taken paracetamol max dose for many months but recently have stopped with no increase in pain. I can barely turn my head to the left and the left side of my face and ear are partialy numb. But life...

I hate abreviations.:arghh:

I have been on thyroxine for about thirty years, and I was not aware that it had any noticeable effect on diabetes. You learn something new every day:bookworm:

2 egg omelette and a generous handful of assorted small fruits with plain Greek yoghurt washed down with real coffee. A brisk 2mile walk followed by a small shopping trip. Lunch was fried corned beef slices with salad. (I love corned beef). As a special treat a FRESH CREAM DOUGHNUT. The first in...

Phil-W Much the same as me. A normal BT and the result was a phone call from the Doc informing me that I had T2. That was last Sept. since then I have been given Metformin 500mcg x2. and have not felt any different all that time. I do test for bg several times a day with varying results from 4...

Going on a Desmond shortly, 21 April. I will keep you informed as to its value to me.

I use the Gluco RX Nexus. My first and only machine. No problems with use apart from the test strips which have a high wastage, or perhaps that is just me. The company will supply a free pen if yours gets broken and also a free cable for your laptop connection and test liquid. Test strips and...

Seems par for the course. There are far too many diabetic people. ergo. Can not afford them. I used to be on statins for years, but when I moved and changed surgeries, I was promptly taken off them about ten years ago. Didn't stop me getting diabetic. Never mind. You can get all you need from...
