Jamie all you need to know is don't outbid me lol Lyn

Now I know your all going to say ready meals are big no no, but just occasionally for whatever reason late home from work etc I cant be bothered to cook. So if you was going to have a ready meal, what would the max amount of sugar content be that you would go up to?

I can't believe you are being treated like this working in a school. How are your pupils treated if they have a disability. Personally as a mother I'd wouldn't be bothered if your was to test in front of a full class, I'd see it as a lesson for the kids to get a better understanding and...

Thanks everyone, remembered I had kept a couple at my mum. So have enough to half dose untill Monday when I can get in touch with the Doc. Will just reduce carbs a bit more as well.

Hi can anyone advice me, I have stupidly run out of meds and my doctors doesnt open on Saturdays. I take 2 metformin morning and night. Does anyone know what I can do or will I be ok waiting untill Monday ?

Thanks Cugila that would be fantastic

I've decided to buy myself a meter so i can work out if my rash is link to sugar levels. Problem is ( an i'm prob being really stupid here) I cant find where to buy everything from. I've looked on the main site and it lists the web sites that make then but when i look at them it just tells...

Hi, I was diagnosed in October and my nurse also told me I don't need to self test, but what she did agree to do to start with was test me monthly so that I was reassured that I was going in the right direction. This really helped me and in 2 months I went from 8.3 to 6.5 . See if you can get...

Thanks for all your replys x

Hi can any tell me if having your period effects your levels, my nurse hasn't got me self testing so am unable to tell for sure but the rash I had pre diagnose has been really bad the last few days and as it started to fade I started to feel lightheaded and sluggish .

Yay, one month on (two months since diagnosis) fasting blood sugar of 6.6 and HbAc of 6.5

lol I haven't had any sweets since i found out I was diabetic

I was diagnosed as type 2 on the 8th October with a fasting blood sugar of 14.1 and a HbA1c of 8.2 I've been controlling this with 2 x metformin 500 per day and diet. I went back to the nurse last week so she could retest my bloods a month in to see how well i was doing and my results were...

Hi I'm newly diagnosed type 2 and my nurse doesn't think I need to test so is not providing me with a meter so I'm thinking of buying my own. Any advice on where to go and what to get would be great thanks Lyn

I saw my nurse yesterday and she doesn't want me to self test so I'm not sure but I think my levels may be high tonight. Is there anything I can do to bring them down

Thanks Sid I'm not a morning person so it's already an effort having to make sure to eat breakfast in the morning before work without having to make a packed lunch as well. Found a chicken and pasta salad in the campus co-op that only had 11.8g carb and 0.3g sugar so guess i'll be eating...

Hi Thank for the reply's, guess for now it's a case of a day at a time and wait to see what the nurse has to say on Thursday. I'm a bit calmer today but I think that's because i'm at work and have things to do to take my mind of it. Could someone please tell me what is an expectable level...

Hi I was told last thursday by my nurse that i'm diabetic at the moment other than that i know nothing untill thursday when i have an appointment with her. I had to pick up a prescription for metformin so i'm presuming that i have type 2. It come as a really shock to me i'm 37 and no-one...
