DBolding - thanks - just what I suspected. I will try to get prescription if not then I will have to buy them - I know they are expensive but it is my health so important

Urbanracer, yes I did.

Many thanks Urbanracer - this self testing is certainly complex ☺

I am new to testing as since quitting smoking - my Blood Sugars that have been stable for 9 years - have spiralled to 14 - 16 average in 6 months. I working with DBN to manage this and she gave me a Gluco Rx Nexus TD 4277 to self test. Yesterday I received my free Accu-check Performa Nano - and...

Not highly into any high carbs but I guess I have more weeding to do! Have been on small portions of carbs food ie potatoes etc - guess I must try much smaller and up the veg! Today porridge with 5 small raspberries - lunch two scrambled eggs piece of grain bread about 2 square inches. Dinner...

Doesn't seem to load!

1 year on, now armed with test kit from new DN - sugars gone way too high due to quitting smoking last autumn but I am looking to fight this! Also, new retinopathy scan due in May - praying no bad news.

All excellent advice - would say keep a diary to see what affects sugar levels - great app on Play.com for android users. Diabetes Sugar app.

Agreed on spicy foods comment - will try your suggestion as long as taking SR in two stages doesn't adversely affect BS levels.

Need to bring sugars down more a notch or two - but thanks for suggestion.

Not chocolate, but I do enjoy Sainsburys' no added sugar marshmallows once in a while.

Green & Black thins my personal love, caution 70% use sparingly

Cannot remember specifics but I am given to understand that sugar replacements used are not good - I imagine in long term use. Personally I find so called 'diabetic sweets etc' are overly sweet - also costly. Small amounts of dark chocolate are a better way to go. Emphasis on small amounts ie a...

I have written about my dilemma on other posts regarding my BS more than doubling since quitting evil weed. I saw my DN yesterday who gave me a testing kit - that so far I cannot seem to get right at the actual blood to strip test - that aside I have a month to get levels down before increase in...

No - I don't feel I am heading towards T1 - at least I do not feel my pancreas suddenly stopped working over night as 8 years of pretty good control averaging 6.5 to 7.5 - shooting up to more than double after quitting smoking. Seems there has to be a connect - but my real issue now is getting...

Still feel that giving up cigs changed my metabolism plus recently had nasty virus - have pushed BS levels up - getting them down is another thing!

Ah, sorry been a long day - Hba1 results today - not good -

Just seen this Cat lady 19 - had quick look back - not sure what you refer to - no recovery, definitely - did I say there was certainly not what I meant.

As I said - panicking - And breathe

I wrote on here a couple of months ago concerning my raised B'S on my HBA1 test in Dec following my quitting cigarettes in early Oct 2015. Diagnosed 2007 my BS then around 11 - 12, I had managed to keep my levels to between 6 - 7.5 so when I was told they were at 12 in Dec was a blow. Research...
