Me either, well maybe me BG and alllllll the other numbers. And my scales.

Thanks, that is what I was trying to get her to understand, they are two different beasts.

That's the meter I use. The gold end goes into the meter and the grey end 'sucks' blood off your finger. Maybe you have a faulty meter. I would return it to the pharmacy when you can, sometimes these things happen.

You do realise that this site is NOT Diabetes UK? Nothing I have read here leads me to believe that this site wants people to remain diabetic. I think you have things a tad confused.

Pecans, I was amazed at how many kilojoiles they contain.

If you are eating beans and potatoes you are not eating low carb. And definitely no grains. Most of us follow a Low Carb High Fat diet and keep our carbs to under 50gm per day (some even lower). Read some of the other threads, especially the low carb diet threads, they have great ideas of...

I think I am on my third lancet since October. Test multiple times a day and no problems here. When they are $20 for 100, which would only last me roughly 2 weeks, I am not changing everytime. Also, just because the manufacturer says they are single use, doesn't mean that is true. They want...

Can anybody give me some clues as to why the joints in my hands are sore, really sore. Is it too much water, not enough water, too much protein, old age or something else. I take one Metformin 500mg daily, eat LCHF, have lost around 14 pounds this year. No idea what's going on, any suggestions?

OMG I love Pana Chocolate, try the Cinnamon if you can get it. Was a treat in my husbands Christmas Stocking, but he was nice and shared.

It might be for healthy eating in general, but I took it straight from the Diabetes Australia website, so it's safe to assume that others looking for advice on how to eat 'diabetic' will think that this is the way to eat.

Just stumbled upon this helpful guide following links from the Diabetes Australia facebook page. Unbelievable the rubbish they are telling people to eat - no wonder we are getting sicker and sicker as a nation...

Just because the prescribe statins, doesn't mean you have to take them, if you are still unsure. Ask for another 3 months, if they refuse, take the prescription but don't get it filled. Impose your own 3 month wait and then go for another test and see what the results say.

I am in Australia and not part of the NDSS, so I am paying $50 for 100 test strips. Yeah it's tough. And unfair.

You know what, if WE can use the internet and do research, why on earth can't our health professionals??

Interesting article http://robbwolf.com/2017/01/05/why-wont-we-tell-diabetics-the-truth/

Oh that would send me to the poor house. I am paying around $20 per 100. I just change them when they are feeling blunt, usually around once a week.

I will be joining you in this Tipetoo - too many extra bits the last month or so and over Christmas and tomorrow is back to work and back to the LCHF diet. I need to be more organised with my food and also my testing. Here's to a great 2017

This just popped up on my FB feed - http://campaign.diabetesvic.org.au/Expo. The speakers look sort of OK, though one is just a GP local to me. Not impressed with the food menu though, pita, sourdough, couscous, muffins, wraps, sushi. etc. There are a couple of salads though they are quite...

Breakfast was what I was finding difficult too. I am up at 4am, and not only do I not feel like cooking bacon and eggs, but I really don't want to wake the household. I wasnt a breakfast eater before Diabetes, but did what I was told and started with a low carb cereal and a bit of yoghurt...
