@Eurobuff - what was your reaction to the Junior saying, "Artificial sweeteners in and they raise your blood sugar" ?? This is tantamount to starting World War 3 if it was true - THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON THIS SUBJECT. Millions of people drink such drinks as Zero, etc., etc., not just to lose...

@Sapien - this is a very helpful contribution - your comments about my situation would be appreciated. From my own testing over a few years mean averaging - I have noticed that being 'naughty' the previous day from after lunch which is my main meal - will be proven by my pre-lunch testing the...

Wonderful - the best thing I did for my care since robot doctors prescribed Metformin and Statins at inception and I am not talking about stomach problems because I did not suffer from them. In the case of Metformin it's my opinion that I wasted years and years being a guinea pig with a drug...

Thank you bulkbiker you have confirmed another respondent's view earlier for which I thank you - I will take dietary advice

Your reply is most useful - my problem is that I have always cruised between 6-7mmol and even with fasting have difficulty getting below that. However, on the occasions I have got down to <6.0 I do not need a meter to tell me I am getting low (for me that is) because I start severe hypo...

Yes the cheese - 100% certain

My problems is similar - but my hunger is real - I suffer from a Diabetic condition/illness begins with the letter 'P' (it was discussed here a year or so ago) - NOT A CRAVING FOR A PARTICULAR FAVOURITE FOOD but hunger pangs created by the very act of eating - I am always hungry for hours after...

I am sorry that I have to say this but your anger at being Diabetic will cause you to have an early death. You have the choice mashed potatoes and chips OR die early - it's quite simple. You will not miss leaving the offending food out of your diet. Please make the right choice. The other...

I have posted this before but it is pertinent again perhaps. Starbucks spent a fortune on a survery/research about porridge oats some 8-10 years ago now. Their findings were such that porridge was the finest food they could possibly supply for breakfast with the health of their customers in...

I have what must be the absolute Diabetic Neuropathy - by this I mean it cannot get worse than it is as far as oedema is cocerned. Yet, being in continuous pain in feet, ankles, lower legs, fingers, wrists and lower forearms I have managed to avoid the poster's problems that worry him. For me...

Alison - thank you for saying that you will stick with your Accucheck Compact - it was the only constructive remark in the whole thread - I did not receive ONE reply to asking for opinions about Accucheck and another machine (My One Touch Ultra dying and no service in S/E Asia since J & J sold...

You will be forever worrying if you DO NOT take the tests. If you have Diabetes - it will not go away if you deny its existence.

As Johnson and Johnson threw all of those abroad using One Touch Ultra onto the garbage heap by selling their interest in this product without one thought of those of us in S/E Asia - AND as I cannot get my meter repaired or obtain a guaranteed supply of test strips that have not doubled in...

No dear member - YOU WERE DOING NOTHING WRONG - just unfortunately using a clinic where the Practice Leader (Doctor usually) wants to keep the bill down from his local pharmacy for test strips - I also was asked some thirteen years ago why was I testing myself by the head poncho - by a doctor...

This was the title of my last post - perhaps 10 days ago - I have searched for it here - did anyone see it - or was it removed by Admin? I desperately needed a reply - hopefully someone supplying contact number, email, etc., of the new owners who appear not to know that this is an INTERNATIONAL...

Please help me if they understand what is happening to One Touch Ultra now J and J has been sold. As is usual - they did not have the intelligence to realise what the effects of their GREED has had on people like me by not preparing their overseas customers with ongoing information. I live in...

@HSSS - sorry, have not been back until now - CHF - is the very common heart ailment - Congestive Heart Failure usually caused by Diabetes.

DIABETIC NEUROPATHY is not discussed as much as eye problems and amputations, etc. I have had increasing Neuropathy over past 11 years and it has become almost impossible - I really wish I could have my toes, feet, lower legs, fingers, wrists and forearms to elbows AMPUTATED. There is not a...

I cannot take your advice for full fat because of CHF - I started porridge oats on hearing about the Starbucks Report and found that that breakfast was the only food to give me steady readings at c. 6+ until 5pm each day when I always take a late lunch (my main meal of the day) - I would very...

Hahaha I did not really want to hear that - BUT if low-fat - less carbs ?? What do you think please?
