i'm back on finger prick testing since my dexcom trial finished, but judging by my graph paper i would guess at around 12 or 13 an hour or so after lunch but back down to 8 about 2 hours after

@smc4761 totally agree with the help this forum has provided. I was at 64 this time last year and dropped 10 points to 54 since i have been learning from everyone. when i hear what sort of control some people have i am in disbelief how they achieve it. But IMHO you only live once, it's about...

And to be honest 4 or 5 points is not that bad, perhaps try to drop your target BG reading by a point also ( so 6 instead of 7)

@smc4761 After joining this forum i realised the same thing was happening to me, i never tested 2 hours after meals so was not used to seeing those sort of values. If the boat is steady i wouldn't rock it too much. The best advice would be to consume the same amount of carbs with the lowest GI...

the last time i changed my lancet i think we were still in Europe.

I had my scariest moment ever last night. I over stacked insulin after going out eating/ drinking woke up on the sofa about 1.30am with a strong hypo which i fixed by drinking orange juice. woke up about a hour later and started being sick ( a bug i think, the kids have had it this week and...

It's pretty amazing i have to say.

i think i have had a similar thing a few times when injecting into my leg. if you inject on the inner leg just above the knee you're not very far from a major artery. if the needle gets anywhere near it, expect rapidly plummeting BG.

Hi all, hope you are well. I picked a kilo of blackberries from my garden yesterday and cooked them down added some sugar and sieved them (love the taste but the pips are a nightmare) et voila! 600ml of blackberry sauce. Into my last 10 days of my Dexcom trial. it's b**** brilliant - not sure...

Big up all Reading crew!

I have had diabetes for 25 years and only recently in the last year or two have stared developing this condition. I have about 4 or 5 10p sized area on my hands. It's only recently i noticed it. I am spending more time in the sun recently and the tan has shown it up just hoping it doesn't get...

@helensaramay thanks, i'm going to check through this list.

I'm currently injecting to my usual ratio, but finding that BG is heading up to it's usual peaks and and not coming down agin requiring an additional injection 3.5 - 4 hours after the first, which is a little worrying.

Well done @GlitterSparkles !

i honestly cannot remember the date it all kicked off for me, some point in the summer.

They don't call it Amsterdamage for nothing.

I use Orange juice in the little cartons, but i'm getting the impression it is not as fast as glucose tabs from the books i am reading.

Morning all, my hba1c came back 10 points lower then last year - 54 (64 before) Very happy as it feel like the effort i have put in in the last couple of months is paying off. :)

Got mine back at the weekend - 54. Thats a great result for me i have dropped 10 points since the last (64) Thanks for all the help everyone!

I'm eating 30g of KP nuts on a flatish line, no bolus on board. I'm not taking an injection for the snack. Carbohydrate 1.7g Protein 9.0g Should i take into account the protein when recording carbs? (9.0g @ 50% = 4.5g Carb) So should i count 1.7g or 6.2g ? (1.7 + 4.5) What does...
