My GP told me my result yesterday as a percentage (8.2%). He then confused me by adding +2 to say my BS level equated to 10.2 mmol/L

for diabetes to be caused by stress and injury? The reason I'm asking is that I wasn't aware or I wasn't showing any of the classic syptoms of diabetes until I was knocked off my motor bike last June. It was the doctor in the hospital following a urine test who suggested I see my GP.

I wonder how many T2's don't change their diet and excercise? Me for one. I took metformin for 12 months from my diagnosis without making a change to my lifestyle, I don't drink, never smoked, but I just enjoy good food and plenty of it. Remote control aerobics was as much exercise I took. I...

I've spotted enough recipes on here to keep me happy for a long time :D :D :D :D :D

Tonight chili con carne brown rice pitta breads, followed by 2.5 mile walk. 4.8 2 hours after dinner. It looks like exercise might be the key to my own problems.

I too have thigh pain which occassionally feels like a stabbing pain. Most of the time it just feels numb. I'm seeing a neurologist on Friday this week. My GP only booked the appointment 2 weeks ago and to be honest the prompt attention is frightening. I am still on simvastatin, is it possible...

OK. Tonights results. 4.8 before dinner. 13.1 - 2 hours after dinner. Chicken pie and a few oven chips followed by an apple and an orange. 5.4 after a 2.5 miles walk about 4 hours after dinner, no snacks or coffee since dinner. If I can get to 5.4 more often I will be happy.

Why is it everything I read says to test 2 hours after eating? I normally have breakfast around 6.30am, lunch 12ish and dinner around 6.00pm it is rare for me to eat anything between dinner and bed. At sometime between dinner and bed I will have a 2.5 mile walk. I usually test 30 mins before...

Bloody hell. No Coffee No Bananas No Mars Bars. I asked my GP once for diet advise and he said ' whatever you like, don't eat it ' Not joking was he!! :(

The only other thing I do to excess is drink coffee - white no sugar - proper coffee not de caf, probably 10 mugs a day. Does coffee have an impact on test results?

I'm new to this self testing. I am really trying to change my eating habits. Dinner tonight was chicken salad and where I used to have a mars bar or similar as an after dinner treat I had instead an orange and a banana. 2 hours after eating my result was 10.4. Should I now start looking at...

I'm testing before meals. Breakfast lunch and dinner and before bed. Results before lunch and dinner are between 5 and 6 and there is always a high reading before breakfast.

Well pretty new to it. I've been testing for about a month since my GP changed my medication. It is a freestyle freedom lite and it says my average over 30 days is 7.6 14 days 7.4 and 7 days 7.7. Are these too high? At my last visit to GP he said they are well too high and to be honest I am...

Hi all 12 months ago I was diagnosed 12 months ago type 2 and I have to admit to being in denial. I took metformin and never changed my lifestyle one bit. Although I am a non drinker and have never smoked I just enjoy my food too much and the only exercise was TV remote aerobics. I had a...
