Mistress

One of the girls at work was curious about her BG levels and isn't currently feeling 100% - very tired and was off last week with some kind of cold virus (a lot of bugs going around at the moment). I tested her blood for her and it was so runny that it just bled across her fingers like her hands...

@poshtotty - i'm so pleased for you and thanks for sharing your story. Found it really inspiring :-D xx

Hi Neohdiver - I know the doctor called me and told me that I was pre-diabetic because the second blood test was lower (due to diet) but I would actually agree with you and say it was a controlled reduction rather than reversal. I really think if I eat what I want I will definitely show that I...

Wow...i'm not the only one LOL. I reckon it's all the **** they put in our water nowadays - they've messed with it so that sensitive souls like myself no longer find it has the same quality. Thanks to my 'pseudo twin' 4ratbags - and thanks DumfriesDik for owning up to a slight issue - and most...

Thanks Energize ...just added latest reading before bed and it's going back down but it was a bit of a shock. I feel tired, headachy and very thirsty still - does everyone still get this after eating?

Can you tell when you've eaten something which has spiked your BG levels? If so...can you describe how you feel?

@donnellysdogs - poor you. Have they tried you on antibiotics at all? I had some kind of bug years ago in India from drinking dirty water and constant diahorrea can get quite painful. You might find after cleaning with a moist toilet tissue that using vaseline to protect the skin might help you...

One celebrity used to chew what he liked and then spit it out immediately (might have been Elton John) before swallowing. He got to savour the flavour without putting on weight. Of course...he wasn't diabetic but it might help??

That's good to know John, thank you. Do you remember any brands that you've used in the past which has impacted your results so I can avoid them?

Well tried again and it's 7.3 with washed hands now so it has gone up from 50 mins ago. 20:00 ish kebab 20:58 16.4 ------- walk for c. 1 hour 22:32 6.3 23:21 7.3 00:12 7.2 mmm...

Yes Sir!! :-D

Water - when I drink water I don't find it thirst quenching really - as soon as I drink it it makes the back of my throat feel slightly dusty dry. Anyone else have this experience. I used to find cold milk slightly more thirst quenching or cold tea or coffee. I also find it easier to drink...

Thanks bulkbiker - I'm going to go with 16.4 was probably a rogue reading then ...if only because it makes me feel better!! Needn't have gone for that walk in the rain for an hour afterall then LOL. ;-) Thank you. Didn't realise not washing your hands could also give bad readings - just thought...

Hi Donnellysdogs - can you not eat fat now hon? xx

You're so lucky DumfriesDik - she sounds amazing xx

The good news is that I picked a 'food' which maintained a high fat content. It all goes downhill after that point LOL.

actually no - I didn't - I wiped my greasy fingers off on a towel - chatted, played with my PC then decided to take my reading. mmm.... Do you think the readings seem out as well then? you could be right but I don't think I want to eat another kebab again to test in order to find out...as I got...
