This is worrying as I've just started my last tub of TEE2 strips. I am however thinking of changing to the code free system as the strips are much cheaper when using the discount code. However it does seem that the self funding diabetes market has been in a bit of turmoil lately. For a while...

I tried the same thing this morning with TEE2 meter. The first finger tested st 15.8. This is very high for me so I tested the finger next to it. This was 11.4. ***!!!!! Don't know how I can have confidence in these meters for an accurate reading when they give wildly different results. Even if...

I have an appointment for my GP next week, hopefully he will be able to shed some light on what is happening. I'd like to think it was a bogus reading from my BG meter, however I used 2 different meters and they both gave the same reading. I don't keep a proper Food Diary instead I use the...

Technically I'm still in the "What The Hell !!" period where my doctor wants to find out how I deal with being newly diagnosed and do I have any reactions to the meds etc. I had a follow up blood test at 6 months (God ! has it really been that long?) along with a second blood test last week...

Well done !! But remember, it's you who sets your targets. Don't be bullied by anyone else in to doing something you don't want to do. I work with a guy who is an ex royal marine (bit like the boy scouts but with guns [emoji16]) and he pesters me to let him work out an exercise regime for me...

Yes, I'm on Metformin (500mg) three times a day as well as Atorvastatin (20mg) once a day. Diet wise I have changed my eating habits immensely. Gone is anything junk, no McDonalds/Burger King/kebabs etc. I've had 2 takeaways since Christmas (one Chinese and the other was a Thai curry). I tend...

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed that they do things now on a more regular basis. I'm a type 2 diabetic so every 28 days I pick up my repeat prescription from my local chemist. On the same day I've also taken to:- Reformatting my memory card in my dash cam, Resetting the time on my...

Thank you for your reply. I do a lot of self testing which my doctor says isn't necessary as type 2 diabetic, however as these 2 episodes have shown it's just as well that I did. I fix trains for a living (which also involves some driving of them) so self testing when operating heavy machinery...

As a follow on post to this I have ordered a Code Free tester and some test strips. I'm going to start using the Code Free meter along side the TEE2 and see how they compare. The kit from Code Free comes in a neat little pouch just like the TEE2. It contains a lancet pen, some lancets, a...

Back in May I had a very low BG reading after a long night shift. It read 1.9 mmol/l. The strange thing is I felt perfectly okay and in no way was I feeling any of the symptoms of a hypo. I rang NHS direct, who were fantastic and having followed their advice I was back to a near normal (for...

Judging by all the comments on here from other type 2's and my own personal experience of my GP I would say you have been either very very very very very lucky, or your doctor thought you were a type 1 diabetic. Generally type 2 diabetic do tgere bit for the countries economy by self funding...

All this discussion about rest strip storage etc has me worried. I expect like most of you I have a small wallet that my BG monitor, strips, Lancet and record book etc all live in. I take this with me to work so it goes from my room to an air conditioned car where it stays until I test during...

Because I have a brain (and it actually works) I use an android (samsung galaxy S6) my kids who have no concept of the educational system in this country all use iPhones because all their chavvy mates use iPhones and in it them is crucial

I've had TalkTalk, Sky and Virgin. TalkTalk is the evil dark empire presided over by a don't give a s**t attitude, and they lie about their connection speeds Sky was okay, just slow Virgin is very fast for downloading, but uploading is incredibly slow. On the whole I prefer Virgin

They recently tried to sue a barrister for overstaying by about 20 minutes in a motorway service station. He turned up at court, they didn't so the judge awarded him something like £1500. Read it here; https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/aug/26/parking-eye-takes-on-top-barrister-85-fine

Officially I was diagnosed in October 2017 by the Occupational Health nurse at work. My doctors diagnosis came in January 2018, so yes long delays and being left out in the cold are normal. However there is a solution. This place right here. We're all in the same boat and we know so much...
