It's a form of bullying. If you don't go do you still have the eye screening?

Had my Thanks. I'm not the only one on this forum who has had this kind of experience. Maybe my next meeting in a couple of weeks time will go better, she might have been having a bad day.

Well done that's brilliant.

I too was one of those always hot people and I've lost weight and now I'm cold and having to wear socks. Normally I wore crocs and no socks all winter. I changed from hot to cold quite quickly after starting to lose weight.

Actually it's much easier to correct a wayward diet after each meal. i.e. you test, you eat something and then 2 hours after eating you test again. If your bloods have spiked or are still too high after 2 hours then you know that you've eaten something that is going to raise your BG. So you...

Thank you asking. I've just written and deleted a reply because it was just so whingy whiney. So I've pulled myself together now and YES I am hoping it will be lower. My bottom line is that I don't want to take meds. The DN has said that I won't be able to manage my type 2 without taking...

It seems to me that so much hangs on the A1c test results. But maybe that's because I'm having one tomorrow.

Thanks for the thread wise owl and also for the information Squire Fulwood and Bluetit.

A duff sensor? I've been using the Libre for 3 months now, that's a lot of duff sensors. It might be a faulty reader though. Interestingly though when I was first diagnosed I had to have checking fasting bloods and of course another A1c. I scanned just before going into the phlebotomists...

That's normal for me. I have my lowest range setting as 3.9 and on Friday the line never went black. Today it also hasn't gone into the black and is 3.2 at the moment. I am eating btw. Occasionally it reads in the 2's had read as low as 2.3. When it first happened I did panic and ate a...

Enjoy your well deserved holiday.

A day or so after I was diagnosed with type 2 I had a bowl of what I thought of as healthy cereal Special K. Result BG 17.9 and it stayed above 10 for hours and hours. I freaked out, talk about panic. Ah the early joys of testing and pre low carb days.

That's what I was going to say. Why do you want it lower? You've done really well to keep it there for so long.

Hope that you start to feel better soon.

Thank you.

And the one about meters 'cause I never got it despite doing searches about meters. Would have been helpful for me. I'd never heard of a Libre before coming on here

They posted in my thread AND in fact they tagged in daisy1 so that I could read her post. They were very welcoming towards me and helped me feel that I could ask questions. Nothing intimidating, no bullying, just kindness.

BUT when I was first here it helped me and I'm new so you would have stopped me from being helped. I looked at posts like the ND and Keto ones, I might have read some them, if I found myself getting over whelmed by the information I simply though, not for now, I'm busy just starting out and...

I have a close friend (of 30 years) who is T1 and despite my being there and helping her when she has had hypo's I could never understand what it's like for her. I certainly wouldn't dream of offering diet advice to her. She on the other hand has been very helpful and supportive to me. She is...

IMO it's best to get a meter and test for yourself the affect that the foods that you eat have on your BG. Then you will see for yourself. Everyone is different. I test immediately before I eat, 1 hour and 2 hours after.
