    Higher reading

    Another random high reading again tonight. I'm hoping it's because I'm under the weather still, but had 100% mince, with a handful of mushrooms and half a cup of gravy. Had this before without a rise. 3 hours later and I'm still 2 above before eating x

    Carb flu/illness

    I really wasn't sure. I do have a slight cough, I've covid tested today and it's negative. I've had covid twice before (even tho Wass vaccinated!).. I feel worse than I did both times. Bonus is my bloods seem to be staying in 6s/7s over last few days which is a big change from before. That's why...

    Carb flu/illness

    Thank you. I'm so cold. Been shivering for 2 days. But head and face burning. Whole body aches. Super sleepy. Had gloves on, along with the heating and lots of layers but didn't help much. I can ride it out if it's keto flu, but some people say it isn't real so I wasn't sure if viral. Thanks

    Higher reading

    Thank you. I was concerned perhaps my meter was faulty. This hasn't happened to me before, it usually goes down instead of up throughout the morning, so does this look about right? ..thank you. Will see how the rest of the day goes!

    Higher reading

    Good morning everyone. I know it's possible this morning could be a false reading, but any reason why my finger prick could be showing at 2 points higher than my first, its barely 2 hrs ago and I haven't eaten anything or exercised..just school run by car. What else can cause a rise please? Is...

    Gliclazide

    My levels have been very high.. usually 18+.. but I think the gliclazide is helping along with better food choices

    Gliclazide

    Hi, I've been having omelette, chicken and salad or tuna. I had some bacon and some very low carb sausage with no sugar etc. I've been on the gliclazide 80mg on and off for a while ( i stupidly haven't been dealing with my diabetes at all) but I'm on it twice a day now (last few days), on order...

    Gliclazide

    Hi, sorry, me again!..I have a quick question about gliclazide and finger prick testing. Yesterday I woke with 16.3 result. With a very low carb day and 2 lots of gliclazide, I went to bed on a 7.7. This morning I woke with a 10.3 and ending the day on on 8.5. Does that seem about right, or am I...

    Gliclazide

    I've gone from 17 on waking to 10.0 today so it's definitely helping. Will monitor for hypos but I don't think I need to worry just yet.Thank you.

    Gliclazide

    Thank you. Yes I've been taking it 20 mins before dinner, but now it's been increased I wanted to be sure taking it 6/7 hours apart is ok. I prefer to skip breakfast ( I will still finger test on waking) and just have dinner/tea. Thanks.

    Gliclazide

    Hi [emoji112] everyone. The GP has doubled my dose of gliclazide today, so now 80mg twice a day. Quick question about timing please?... do I have to have a set amount of time between each dose or can I take one before dinner and one before tea? Thank you.
