Hi everyone, Just a little update. I've been just checking my pre lunch and post lunch levels as this is my main meal, and I'm learning what works and what doesn't. Today, I did 5 readings just out of interest as to how fasting, pre lunch, post lunch, pre dinner, and after dinner levels were...

Thanks so much Jo

Hi everyone, I received my Tee2+ monitor today, so I'm armed and ready to get my levels down. I fast from 6pm in the evening until 12pm the next day so 18 hour fast. I never had breakfast so it seemed an easy migration to do this about 18 months ago. When I tested at 12pm today I only had a...

I have today bought a Tee2+ and some strips from Spirit Health. I'm feeling less stressed now, so thank you [emoji4]

I do think if I go in armed with a plan and self monitor, the GP & DN will be happy to do review in 3 months. [emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696]

I have been looking at the glucose monitors suggested. Does anyone use a lancet device & lancets? I was viewing the Betachek C50 as it's an all in one and I won't need to pay out extra for lancets.

J_P that's exactly my thoughts. Fantastic news you managed to lower your numbers in the 3 months which has given me hope.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your advice. I have no problems with cutting carbs out, so if I can get my HbA1c back down to pre-diabetic level with diet only, I'll be happy. I am diary intolerant so cakes, chocolate etc is no problem and I don't have sugar in any hot drinks or have sugary...

Hi, I've been pre-diabetic nearly all of my adult life (I am 52), floating between 43 and 47 mmol. My mother is type 2 insulin dependent and my dad was, like myself, pre-diabetic. My dad passed away in Jan and I fell off the carb wagon. My last blood glucose was done in December 2022 and was...
