Only one day spent in the five hive this week. Kicked out again with disappointing BG 11.6 mmol. I am using steroid cream again which could be having a negative effect. Big hug and special thoughts of best wishes for rhe strugglers amongst us and big hug with heartfelt well done to the...

Yorkshire pudding, Carrots and Gravy probably all had their individual input to raising the BG levels to 16.5....... But what's a man to do, when at a Carvery? A bit of Yorkshire pud , gravy and for me, a dollop of Colmans English, is a given when eating roast beef. I did skip the mash potato...

Wel well well.... wonders never cease..... Amazed to read BG 5.3 mmol this morning. Checked it twice, to be sure and got the same reading...... Have a great weekend, whatever you have planned. I'll be having some sweet family time with my two Grandaughters ❤️ ,.........Ages almost one and...

Hahaha downright Barmy more like ...... Suppose it's shorts and tee shirt weather now it's a warming -4°C.........!

Type 2 on Metformin and Gliclazide. I'd be totally at a loss without the test strips supplied. They certainly help guide and motivate me, telling me I need to be stricter in eating regime, low carbs, and be more active when I'm able to be. Yes I am grateful for receiving the strips.......

Had another pretty bad BG 12.4 mmol this morning, following dining out last night at Carvery. I had no potato or roast potato but did fall foul by eating Yorkshire pudding with the beef, plus some delicious carrots somehow managed to make their merry way onto my plate then into my tummy...

Hahaha thats great. Hope I've not let you down, by 'regressing' after all that positive. Promise I will do it again, cut the BG levels down......and soon. I've bounced around a bit since having the Cardiac and arterial issues and leaving hospital. Feeling much stronger again now though and...

Smashed it!!! Love seeing readings such as this. Brilliant

Just have to add the support here is amazing and so very helpful to keeping on track. I'd be up the creek without a paddle and capsizing the boat for sure without the help I receive. Anyone who's commented, shared experiences, given advice, chatted and made me smile has helped out. I'm not going...

Was a ham Sandwich done all the damage. 2 rounds of bread ........ I know I'm an idiot .... bad bad bad..... No food tonight's early hours. @ravensmitten Thanks for the comment and kind thoughts. It's clear I've taken a huge step backwards since being ill over Christmas. I'll come back to...

This morning BG 16.5 mmol due early hours eating..... bad bad bad ........

I'm type 2 on tablets. Currently strips are prescribed and I'm allotted 100 test strips monthly. Seems I'm in the lucky camp. I didn't ask for them, but when I was diagnosed last year, they 'appeared' on repeat prescription. I'll gladly take them. Much prefer knowing the BG level.....

Headache free night thankfully.... Reading has given my head penty to think about this morning though. BG11.9 mmol on waking.....Ggrrrrr.

Thank you again LivingLightly. No point in seeing my G.P. I'll keep posting here and await the replies. The knowledge about always amazes me. Thank you for passing it on...... I think a trip to Chemist is the way forward & possibly decongestant tablets. The Pharmacist may confirm they're...

Thanks for replying Estragon. I believe I'm drinking enough, though I do get very dry mouth at night. I keep a jug of H2O next to my bed, so I don't have to get up, each time I take a drink. Ill see how I am tonight with everything.......

Thanks for your reply LivingLightly. To be honest I don't know what has brought headaches on, but I had the same again last night. Once again Paracetamol couldn't remove the pulsing pain. I was okay for the most part of the day yesterday and am fine again today. If it happens again tonight, I...

Horrible headache and sleepless night. Paracetamol usually work wonders, but this time pain clung on and ruined any chance of decent sleep. BG reading this morning of 6.9 mmol. Up on yesterday's fasted 5.7 mmol, but considering the night I had, I suppose its not so bad..... Sending Hugs not...

Hi Penguinmum.... Youre always very kind and thoughtful and your comments are very much appreciated..... Any chance of a bowl or two of the broccoli and leek soup...... I reckon on it being well tasty......yum yum The fasting seems to be OK to a point, then admittedly it plays mind games...

Ù Hi Estragon. Thank you for your comments. For sure, going forward I will use all the tools at my disposal, to reduce BG levels, should they return to the higher readings. I understand that the more time spent with BG >8 mmol, the more damage is being done in my body. That's my simple way of...

I was getting a little bit ' ****** off ' with my very self, for repeatedly hitting double figures and had a stern telling off ......from me for allowing it. It seems to have had the desired effect, though at lunchtime yesterday , my BG reading was 13.6 mmol and I'd been in Double figures for...
