Mine does, but errors after about 2 or 3 seconds, but when I go to squeeze out more blood, my body says nope... no more blood from this area... and i'm not quick enough, especially if im hypo This happens very rarely though and I don't waste strips willy nilly, the few times it does happen, it...

Hello, this will be an interesting diabetic discussion for us all. What are the most annoying or meticulous things you find about having Diabetes. What makes us tick most and get in a dicky fit. What do people say that annoys you? And anything else... For me it's when you're testing your blood...

Hello, Alcohol has an effect on your sugar whereby it can lower your blood sugars when on an empty stomach. Be careful though, because depending on which alcoholic drink your drinking, such as cidar, it could contain hidden sugars, such as Kopparburg, Dark fruits, WKD and other fruity tasting...

I was told we get the Dawn phenomenon because it links back to our cave men (and women lol) ancestors who woke early to go hunting or foraging, and they woke up at Dawn to do this, evolution played it's part and the body found that releasing glucose energy at the same time gave us an energy...

I assume fasting is more atune to how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago when food was scarce, it was something we adapted too and how we evolved. I can imagine humans then where naturally healthier than now. We would wake up early, without eating, go on the hunt for food, and eat later...

Blood glucose meters at home can be 15% swing out either way, so if it was 5.4, it could explain why it was 4.8 as home, not sure about the higher reading Also a bit off topic as your meter seems fine, but if your ever in doubt about your blood readings, test your meter every now and then with...

Your portion of shreddies is probably a bowl of 100 grams of shreddies or a full bowl full with milk? Try cutting down on that portion to 50 grams with 125ml of milk! See how it goes :)

Sorry to hear about this, how do the arguments usually start if you don't mind me asking? do you ask your partner to sit down and talk about your diabetes? Your partner may have a fear of talking about it because its something that affects your health and they may not want to think about it, but...

Went fine for me, was offered it, however if youve never been offered it don't be disillusioned by it, ring up and ask for it and why, they might say oh yes we have some in

Sometimes when I drink tea instead of milk I have a coconut substitute from Alpro (I think), adds a different flavour, and less carbs than milk, thats if you drink milk.

Your profile says type 2 but to put it bluntly you may be type 1, I seen the other day you were recently diagnosed on a post you did. My uncle was type 2, 2 weeks later he was type 1, he had similar blood sugar readings, Hope you get it sorted. Type 1 is misdiagnosed a lot, I don't want to alarm...

I was trying to be inspirational ;)

True I meant below 4.5 not 4.5 "or below" and she quotes 90% hers are below 4.5, that could cause dizziness if its 3.9 or less low Don't forget even at 4.5 the meter could be out by 15% higher or lower than that Interestingly enough, my mum is non diabetic and her blood sugars where once...

Highest 8.0 after waking Lowest 5.4 fasting
