5.9 this morning and well happy with this :)

6.2 this morning :) first test back from one of my long weekend breaks where I leave the meter at home and sod the diabetes :) but still being a cautious eater where carbs are concerned.

6.8 happy with that :)

This is the great mystery that only your liver can explain, and for some reason it has decided to dump more glucose into you over the past couple of days. I've been the same for over a week now after feeling under the weather, I guess all we can do is to carry on low carbing and exercise and...

7.2 its getting there :)

7.8 and slight improvement

8.1 this morning :(

I'm no expert either but it seems very strange that they have gone from a charge of driving without due care and attention, which presumably the police have recommended based on the evidence at the time from their investigation, to suddenly another charge? I would agree that if your driving was...

I'd check to see if they haven't changed from slow release to the normal ones in error, these people in the pharmacy are only human and an error could have occurred? I'm thinking as you had no prior issue with them you may have been on the slow release ones which tend to be more tolerable, and...

Ditch the belvita mate that stuff really is bad for diabetics, I used to eat them as a healthy choice to keep me full on a morning before I started testing or new about the carbs in them. One morning I had three jaffa cakes after as well just to see what the combination would do and I was at...

8.5 yeek! up from 7.7 yesterday and I thought It was heading in the right direction

I'm with everybody else, get him in to see the GP to see if he needs further medication or insulin. If he's overweight they may not introduce insulin right away as it can make you put weight on. Your husbands situation does pose the usual controversial question as to why most GP's and DN's...

7.7 this morning so heading in the right direction albeit slowly :)

I could be wrong but isn't it illegal for a doctor to remove something from your medical record? I'd certainly check this out. Also I'd consider making a complaint to your local CCG about both the hospital and your GP, Not a fan of CCG's but that mob does hold all the strings where your local...

From what I've read it takes some time for metformin to get into your system and do what its supposed to, so I expect any increased dose will do the same. However from what I've also read the drug only has a minimal effect on reducing BG anyway, so dramatically reducing carbs in combination...

7.8 this morning and a welcome improvement on the 9.2 yesterday. Whatever that glitch was has now gone and my numbers are heading back in the right direction :)

Hello @VCMicheal1 As has been mentioned only a doctor will be able to tell you if you have diabetes or not, If I were you i'd make an appointment as soon as you can an tell him/her everything you have mentioned here, you've said they did some blood work a few months ago so you can ask them more...

Hello Lee and welcome, unfortunately It may be outside of your GP's control and he or she is following the policy of the local CCG (or local health politburo as I like to refer to them) and most if not all do not authorise strips free on prescription to type 2's not on insulin or glucose...

I would agree with what has been said, that you could be developing a reaction to such things which could end up being severe, like some people have to carry and epi-pen as did a friend of mine who wasn't diabetic. As mentioned you could treat it with an anti-histamine next time but I'd think...

9.2 this morning :( Thanks for the kind words people, I was very late up this morning so I guess that's why its so high but I actually feel better than I did yesterday so hoping for an improvement Sunday morning.
