@zand thanks to my note mentioning him testing, the dr prescribed him test strips so he doesnt have to punch mine so he can test properly. Got severe tendonitis so on strong pain medication, hopefully it gets better soon cause the tablets make me sleep.

Doctor has upped Metfirmin to max dose for the next 3mths, if that doesnt work then we need to start looking at Victoza, etc. Diet is fine so just need him to start moving off his bum a bit more (doesnt help that I have a knackered knee & usually go gym/swimming together) Thank you all for...

Thank you. Thats him just headed out the door now. Being the good wife I am (LOL), I have wrote a list of things for the Dr, think I should have been a dictor, or mother to an army

I am actually completely stumped which is a first for me lol. Thank you for your help. I will post again once he has seen the doctor and we know what is happening

@Oldvatr he doesnt take money to work. He has this in built thing where every little thing he eats/drinks, he texts me or tells me when he comes home cause obviously, I have been diabetic for a lot longer than him so he knows I will do whatever I can to help him. Think I am more worried than...

@mo53 He has GP at 3.50pm today so is asleep just now as he is on nightshift at the minute. I have been reading a bolit anout Victoza, any one have experience with this? I take insulin and jardiance & the tablets have been amazing for me, gone from over 40 units Lantus per day to 30 and feel...

Should also add, slightly overweight. Washed hands & made sure they were dry properly. Checked on 4 different meters and they were all the same. Sitting at 19 now so hopefully it will continue to drop. I even checked my own sugars every time he has checked and the highest mine has been is...

He always eats low carb, even when he goes to work he has low carb (I make his lunches etc), he drinks mostly water and cups of tea with milk & sweeteners. Funnily enough, GP has just called regarding his blood sugars so I think insulin might be the way to go.

So, hubby was diagnosed t2 November last year, doesnt check bloods but does eat low carb diet. Said he didnt feel right so checked his blood sugars and its sitting at 24.0. This is after a mad rush to garage to get tyres changed and a walk to the shops. Any ideas?? He is on 1 slow release...

The novopen echo has a function on it that tells you how ling since you last injected, might be worth seeing about getting one of them.

You may also end up with food poisoning but u r more than welcome..

Thank you for all your tips/help. For someone who only eats chicken, I am absolutely starving now after reading all your ideas!

I will easily cook for you. There is a good chance you will end up with food poisoning but I'm willing to risk it lol :D

Aw, poor kitties. We got a thing to feed ours when we go away overnight, he sits and waits for it to turn to the food then jumps out his skin when it changes haha

You got my attention there!! The one I was looking at is a red one lol. Only because everything else in the kitchen is red hahaha

Yep, that is the one we have. Hubby threw away instructions cause (no offence to anyone, he is a man and doesnt need instructions! Even though I bloody well do lol) I have no idea how to work the thing.

I never even thought about B&M, there is one about 5miles from me, saying that, all the shops are avout 5 miles from me lol. Thank you for the link. Dont worry, I have Friday brain every day haha

Its only to do stews etc to start with for hubby (I dont eat steak, etc) so size isnt a problem. There are so many out there I dont even know where to start looking haha.

@Robinredbreast there was no link :-( I have been looking at Morphy Richards at Argos but the things confuse me sooo much. Only 30 but got the mind of my grandparents haha

Looking for recommendations for a slow cooker. We currently have a Go Chef one but the timer only goes to 2hrs and need one with at least 5/6hrs. I have never even used the one we have yet, I would rather slave over the cooker but the local butcher said to use it for stews, etc so need any...
