    Unexpected numbers

    This could actually be a cause. It's not usual for me to eat so late. Something for me to bear in mind. Thanks

    Unexpected numbers

    Where do you get that info? The carbs and cals book says a boiled egg is 0g but if it's 6g per egg that would make sense in causing the rise for me..

    Binge eating

    Well I'm still going in circles. I've identified why I binge. I have a list of 'distractions' as long as my arm yet I continue to do it. Granted not as often. Only once in 3 weeks compared to 3 times a week. It's hard but tomorrow is a new day

    Advice on my cat?

    Thank you everyone. I've called our vet. She thinks it could possibly be a hairball? Tilly hasn't passed one in 6 months so I hope that's what it is. She suggested a gel on her food so will try it. Thanks again everyone.

    Petition to have freestylelibre on nhs

    I get that @nmr1991 I personally could only afford this 'luxury' as I currently view it maybe twice a year. My biggest complaint of of my diabetes is my fingers . they are either numb or ache . I read that this would cost the government less than test strips so I see it as a win win.
