Hi BibaBee, I cannot give much advice on Diabetes because I'm a newbie, who was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. What I can say is I suffer with terrible health anxiety and without the help from the forum users I would still be playing the what ifs, and guessing game, I was feeling how your husband is...

Thanks Rhubarb. Your screenshot is similar to what mine show's. I wear my Fitbit all the time and my HR is always up and down depending on what I'm doing. It was only recently when I noticed it was higher than normal for me. My wife wore it for a short while and her HR was high as well so I am...

Thank you Daphne. Most of my diabetes knowledge comes from this forum and the internet. I don't expect to much from health care staff and choose to research myself. My diet has improved, my exercise hasn't due to me being in an office all day working. Small steps hopefully lead to better...

Thanks Jayney I will have a look.

Just done another test 3 hours after eating and BG 8, so it is rising but taking a long time.

No I didn't check the soup ingredients, it was in a packet though. It was over an hour when I checked, maybe an hour and half. Was puzzled that Chinese meal I'm ok, chicken soup I'm not. Thanks

Hi All, I'm a newbie with type 2 diabetes. I have been very careful with what I eat. But cannot understand what has happened today. I had a chicken cup a soup in work, checked my BG before and it was 6.3, checked again and hour later it was 8.9. Tea time I had spicy chicken wings and Singapore...

Hi Boo, My resting heart rate varies between 67-70. My bpm rate had been fluctuating quite a lot since Monday. When I wake in the morning it is usually 57-60 and when up and moving around it stays in the late 70s early 80s. Since Monday it has been late 80s-100s with moving around. Wondering if...

I at a bit of loss with this one. I felt poorly with the usual diabetes signs etc, the worst is probably the light headed dizziness. I was diagnosed with type 2 and told because my cholesterol was 7.5 that I also have Familial hypercholesterolemia and high blood pressure. Since the diagnosis I...

Can diabetes and the hot UK mini heat wave cause raised heart rate. The reason I ask is, I wear a fit bit blaze heart rate monitor and my HR recently has been jumping up to the 100's when moving around, when sitting it goes back to mid 70's. Thanks

Thank you Brunneria, The forum has been a great help and I will only use trusted recognized websites. The lack of information the nurse gave me is not an issue, I will look into diabetes myself and use it has a learning curve. I didn't know anything about diabetes until 2 weeks ago, I am now...

Thank you Nikkie, Your nurse appointment sounds similar to mine, with the help and support from the forum and a low carb diet and exercise, I feel quite confident BG can be reduced further.

I sympathize with you. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and have suffered terribly with exhaustion, I also work long days. I don't know if it's the warm weather the low carb diet or the the type 2 diabetes that is causing it. I have managed to reduce my BG readings and I am taking metformin too...

To be honest, I did not expect too much from the nurse, I think it is more a tick box exercise they all follow. I feel I've achieved a little in the short time I have been diabetic. When I was first tested my HbA1c blood results came back at 58-7.5. Today my HbA1c, according to my sugar app is...

Hi All, I was diagnosed last week with type 2 and had my first appointment with the nurse yesterday, I have mixed feelings about how the appointment went so I thought I would share with you all. I had my weight and blood pressure checked. I am overweight and had high blood pressure. My blood...

Thank you

No didn't get a referral

I was puzzled myself with what the doctor said, and when I read into further extra testing was advised. I will speak with the nurse tomorrow, it is my first diabetic app with the nurse. Thanks
