I also had blood tests on Friday and according to the receptionist they do have to be seen by the Gp before they can tell me, I'm going to call again tomorrow. Like you, I have my first dn appointment (only 9 weeks since diagnosis) next week, I want to know what the results are so I've had a...

9 weeks since diagnosis and I've never been so scared in all my life! It's the sheer overwhelming amount of stuff to suddenly have to think about, plus the realisation that my years of trying to lose weight (up and down like a fiddlers elbow) was flawed because I relied on carbs and fruit. The...

I did Desmond a few weeks ago and all I can really say is that was 7 hours I'll never get back and could have spent it doing something more useful like cleaning the bathroom!! It was the look shared between the 2 nurses when I mentioned that I low carb (it said oh God we've got one of those!)...

I was told that self testing could make me obsessed to which I replied that I feel being a little obsessed with how different foods affect my body was probably a good thing! My meter allows me to be in control, to be informed about what my bg is doing and how the changes I make affect me. (I've...

I'm also feeling under the weather (not flu as I can get up but achy and hot and sneezing and now my inner ears are itching) and my levels are all over the place. I haven't eaten today as I just can't face it but have drunk loads of water. I'm going to steam some veg for tea, dose myself up and...

Ranging from 7.5 to 15.4, as I've been feeling sicker they seem to be getting worse, I had the same tea on Wednesday 8.2 before and 7.7 2 hours after and Thursday 8.9 then 9.8 after (same food same amount!). I've also recently been put on hrt and have achillies tendinitis and rheumatoid...

Hello Does a cold/flu type bug affect blood sugars? I only got my meter on Tuesday and by that evening I was coughing, sneezing, bunged up nose which won't stop running, feel so achy and hot and cold. Readings all over the place, I was expecting them to be high as I was only diagnosed about 7...

I found some very dark chocolate today, 100% cocoa, carbs 8g per 100, so treated myself to a bar and saving it for tomorrow when the kids have their egg hunt!

Thank you for the information, now i get it but oh gosh maybe I didn't have any blood in my veins, pure honey possibly!!

Hello, I had a well woman check up on the 13th of last month and received a letter complete with prescription for metformin, Hba1c of 112 (I'm still mortified and disgusted with myself) I went straight on google and found my way here, I searched and read everything I could and made changes...
