Thanks bulkbiker. Yes did a re-test in case but this happens to me so often. I follow a good diet as far as I can then for no reason loopy numbers.

Nothing out of the ordinary, same old day, this seems to happen often when I try to be good and follow a healthy diet and walking the dog, drink plenty of water and follow a good diet then WAM ! numbers go silly. Diagnosed a year ago metformin down to 1 twice a day as things were going so well...

Hi all. Question I need to ask... all week I've had good numbers from 6.4 to 7.2 not watched my diet to much this week, so lunch Saturday was green leaf salad, tomatoes.goats cheese with a little dressing not too much. Afternoon I got an 8.9.! ! started the day 6.4 what happened ? I thought I...

My diet has improved since diagnosed a year ago but I always look here for answers and this was suggested somewhere on the forum when I was looking up hypo at night. For more than a year I thought it was me and old age. Yes mate keep smiling.

Just reading through the effect of ice cream. Fathers Day and snacks at lunch time with my Daughters, white bread roll and ham, potato salad followed by ICE CREAM. I can normally get away with this but forgot my metformin, arrived back home had a bottle of water, dropped of to sleep, when I woke...

I read with interest your post Hypo overnight I hate the sweaty mess of wet pillow and t shirt so if my BG is less than 6.4 I will have a digestive biscuit before bed. I'm told this is wrong but the last hypo was weeks ago at 2mmol which really did scare me to what could happen as it's just me...

Just found this post and I thank catherinecherub Finding myself on a bit of a low this morning after dropping my bowl of porridge on the kitchen floor due to sudden **** in my hand thinking is this anther symptom ?

Hi mate you'll be glad you signed up there are loads of answers here. Sorry to hear you have type 1 at such a young age, I think perhaps at Type 2 in my later years I've been lucky to get away with just Metformin pills and an improved diet. Sadly my sister hasn't been so lucky having to inject...

Hi many thanks. I've been very pleased with myself of late with normal numbers after well chosen meals, and it does feel silly but I rejoice and cheer and even text my sister as she's type 1 for twenty years and can understand when I get a regular 6.4.

Thanks all is well but can't get use to what seems a cough or sneeze from somebody in the street or shop can put me in Hospital with an infection. Hospital told me " get use to it " that's not in the guide. There are some wonderful people here with a mine of information all you have to do is...

I understand as I'm type 2 and my sister is type 1 and as a type 1 she leads a normal active life and has been a great source of information for me. Proper diet, leave the rubbish food alone it becomes second nature to make good food choices but it starts by reading labels after labels on food...

Thank you Alison. I have found so many answers on this forum that I decided to sign up as it a very useful site for the many questions I have. I was given a warning 10 years ago and made a adjustments to my way of life but after falling for one common cold after another in 2016 a visit to the...

I do feel that my nurse has not been as helpful as she could have been. I am finding answers here. Thank you.

Thank you this is useful to know as I have never read this in the hand book given to me when I was diagnosed. I have found a great deal of information in the forum. My sister has been my source of info as she has been type1 for twenty years so my diet has been under control since diagnosed a...

MANY THANKS. My nurse hasn't really been that helpful and almost went into melt down when I said I had bought a blood test monitor for myself and then really went into one when I asked for test strips. I was told there was no need for testing on type 2. I have found it a useful tool to control...

Is it ok to feel at my best when my glucose is at a high 7.2 to 8.0 mmol. ? I try not to get below 6.4 as I feel rough. Most morning testing shows a high as soon as I get up and this appears to be normal for me.
