The advantage for me is recording food, reading etc anywhere. I always have my phone with me so it’s quite simple. Also the app automatically works out averages for the day, estimated hba1c and provides graph reports. Much more straightforward than doing it all separately. I also enjoy being...

Haha. Not sure I’ll get away with mine. [emoji23]

I can’t stand the noises either!

Hello, I’ve been using the MySugr app since I was diagnosed. Anyone who is using it will know you have to tame your diabetes monster by getting points for logging readings. The fun bit is you get to name your monster and I was wondering who else has done this and what name you chose? Edited by...

Hello. That is high. Best thing to do would be make a doctors appointment and explain that you have tested and see what they say. I think a single result in isolation isn’t cause for alarm. If the doctor sends you for a full blood test you will get a much clearer idea of if you are diabetic or...

Defo better safe than sorry. Do you work too?

Fingers crossed. So do you have to do anything special having T1 and being pregnant? On top of all the other stuff you can’t do when expecting?

Must have been crazy being diagnosed at 12. Hard enough doing high school without the extra hassle. Congrats on the baby! Right now I’m seeing it as a positive, for the first time in years I’ve been motivated to get off my **** and make a change. Really enjoying high fat low carb. Obviously I’d...

[emoji2] So what’s your story? I was diagnosed type 2 at the end of April. Gone low carb and hitting the gym. First hba1c test since diagnosis due in a couple of weeks.

Hello!

I’m in

Well done mate

Research has shown that almonds may reduce the rise in glucose (blood sugar) and insulin levels after meals,” said O'Shea-Kochenbach. In a 2011 study, researchers found that the consumption of 2 ounces of almonds was associated with lower levels of fasting insulin and fasting glucose...

What I think makes this much worse is that there are lots of we'll meaning people reading that article taking the advice to heart, maybe deciding today is the day I'm going to make a change and then cracking on eating brown rice sandwiches! How is that fair to release that information into the...

Fixed the link. Sorry

Diabetes: everything you need to know, including the signs, symptoms and treatments https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/diabetes-everything-need-know-including-causes-signs-symptoms/ Just come across this article on my Apple News news feed. Seemed sensible and well balanced until...

I felt the same at first about avoiding foods. It can be hard but if you test before and 2 hours after meals it's really easy to build up a list of foods that don't spike your sugars. As to breakfast, I have a 2 egg omelette with cheese everyday and a coupe of rashers of bacon. It tastes great...

Thanks everyone

Hey guys, Had my first follow up with DN today pretty much straight after my first eye screening test. Walked in with my shades on as my eyes were a bit sensitive but I'm sure I just looked like a proper summer idiot. Lol. My blood pressure was the lowest it's been at 126/78 so I'm happy with...
