Yes I will look at the porridge options Got shopping done today- tuna, lettuce, plenty of salad stuff, eggs, mushrooms, nuts, ryvita. For lunch, had a mushroom omlette & some unsalted pistachio nuts, all fine, did a bm about 2 hours later, bm was 5.6. Hopefully if I can stick with it, it'll be good

What exactly does it look like? not being funny, but I just would like something basic, that the pump is secure in & doesn't stick out like a sore thumb

Rang Accu Chek the other day, was told to look on there website, Wasn't that impressed with what they had, don't like the idea of a lanyard. I have got the black clip, bit bulky though. It's a shame they don't just do a basic one, that would attatch to belt or pocket, keep it simple, there are...
