Hi Perry...don't worry. Everybody has to figure it out for themselves to some extent. If you haven't got a self-testing meter yet by all means ask for one but don't be surprised if you are hit with the usual rubbish about not needing to do that. Most type 2s on the site will tell you how...

5.2 after a few hours kip; not sure what the high level last night was all about...fingers crossed it was a sugary blip. What?

Hi Taylin...another old person here...looks like not a lot of young teens around for now...but please don't give up with the site as I am sure someone your age will be along soon enough. Meantime. don't hesitate to ask questions anyway if you have some. Maybe you could try posting on the Ask A...

5.8 yesterday morning...but a very worrying and totally out of place 10.9 an hour ago (four hours after an entirely usual meal) ! Not happy.

@azure, I am not getting what it is that is "not true" in my comment. Actually...if rather ineffectively, I was trying to support your position by encouraging @Fatimshaider_ to "follow your doctor's advice" as other advice appears to be coming from those with little direct experience of this...

Hi @Fatimshaider_ ...I get that people have views and opinions on this and have considered research etc. Personally, I have been more than ready to experiment a little to find what works for me...but I am not pregnant, not do I have any expertise regarding (never mind basic experience of)...

Please, Jesus...no! I am a changed man!

Weak schmeak. Coffee cake is a lovely thing sent by the sugar demons to tempt us. Let he (or she) who is without slip up cast the first low carb nut. It is frustrating as hell. Pat yourself on the back for a] how well you were doing despite obvious temptation and habit and for b] not just...

Is that her name?

5.6 yesterday

That is a very busy little step!

There is little conclusive evidence in medical survey or study to clarify. Some say that the impact of steroid inhalers (and steroid creams) on the blood sugar levels is minimal (but I would argue that minimal is still more than zero) where others disagree and some research indicates a...

Right enough @therower, the one pointing to the sign (the one who looks like somebody kicked the bejaysus out of Charles Laughton, hacked off his head and then sewed it onto this babe's neck) would probably look a lot hotter if I drank a crate of vodka and was on life support...and had a gun at...

Hi. @Liam1955 is correct, my Type 2 is steroid induced. I was on a fairly high dose of the steroid prenisolone as part of my treatment following a kidney transplant (required due to an inherited kidney disease). I was warned that a percentage of people on this drug for a period of more than a...

Yeah but what had you eaten before that? Test before and 2-2.5 hours after eating food. Chances are if the reading is more than 2mmols higher than it was before you ate, your food had too many carbs in it. Testing an hour or so after eating will maybe show you what kind of spike you are getting...

5.4 for me this morning.

Happy birthday..I hope other gifts are better...

Yet...surely one would need to imbibe to a tremendous degree to enable oneself to partake of the dubious pleasure which these beguiling creatures threaten to withhold?

Knock it on the head again. Have you not seen that mole thing?
