OMG! That's incredible. Thank goodness you came out ok. I've never have an issue repeat ordering test strips. Disk to you go and get them on an online order.

Legend. I've seen one or two of these on www.dietdoctor.com. but now you got them all. Bloody brilliant! [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji7]

Check the low carb forum. By cutting carbs from your diet you could actually reverse the need for metformin. Which would be ace.

Lol. You'd think they would know better. It's like they don't do their own research and knowledge building beyond what they "learn" at school. Don't they know there's no such thing as an essential carb?

I agree with @Indy51. Cutting the carbs could have a hugely positive effect on your bs. I was in a similar situation to you quite a few years ago, and then started take insulin to manage my bs. If only I knew then what I know now. Cutting the carbs could actually reverse your needs for meds...

Hey @fletchweb, I've not got a cold or anything like that. In fact I feel great (other than the high bs). Ever since going Keto I've never felt better. Though I will bare it in mind that high bs could be the onset of a cold or something. I think it's more what @catapillar said. The Dawn...

Thanks everyone for your advice. Greatly appreciated. @catapillar you mention basal testing. I test my blood sugar and does with bolus depending on the numbers. Can you explain how to test specifically for basal? I think you all might be right in that I think I might have had a hypo in the...

Thanks Juicy :happy: Fortunately, I don't have a cold or illness and I've not changed my cartridge since last week. A fresh one sounds like a good idea though. However... I have changed my site. I was almost exclusively using the right side of my belly, and now I've moved the the left. The...

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to lower my BS. I've eaten literally no carbs this morning as I'm on a LCHF diet. I woke 5:40 am with BS 3.9 One hour later I was 7.9 (even though I consumed nothing) After a little cheese and a bulletproof coffee at 10 am my BS was 14.5 Took 10 units of Humalog...

I get that this is a low cal forum. In my post up above I said that I was on a low cal diet for about 6 months, and that it did indeed work in that I lost weight. But it wasn't very fun. I was always hungry and just became a chore counting cals all the time. My second post... well, that was a...

Also, measure your waist and not necessarily the scales. Could be you're going through a phase of muscle growth, which the scales might simply tell you is no weight loss

There are many things that can slow down weight loss. Stress, Insulin, eating when not hungry. Perhaps you can find addition advice here? https://www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight Or try YouTube videos. Plenty of advice on there.

That's a shame. My hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, has a diabetic nurse drop in centre. I can see them whenever I like. I can speak to my GP, though to be fair you have to schedule in a phone call. But on the EMIS Access website, I can pick a slot to book in, usually either...

My hospital is the Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. I've never once been told to not test my blood. I have an NHS prescription card (free drugs) and use the EMIS Access website to order my meds, test strips, etc. Which I then pop to my local Lloyds pharmacy to collect in about 48...

Sad for Theresa. It's always a shock when you get this diagnosis. Hands up who was happy to be told they were a diabetic? <tumbleweed> I see a lot of comments about poor NHS service. Personally, and I may be in a rare situation, but the service I get is just fine. Most of the time when I...

This is the kind of advice we've been given since the 70s and 80s. Advice that has built a planet of ever increasing fat people and diabetics. Like others have said eating everything in moderation/balanced diet is part of the problem. The advice that we should eat "healthy" foods like brown...

YEs, a LCHF diet is for you. Keep the carbs low but add more fat to your diet. And don't be scared of Saturated fat either. In all the talks, presentations, interviews I've seen it's been said that there is zero evidence that satfat causes heart disease and other issues. Fat is high calories and...

I'm with @Freema, this is a lot of Carbs. It would be interesting to know how you BG is on this diet (it sounds healthy (according to govt guidelines) but is it good for you).

Last year I cut my cals down to around 800 and I didn't know about a newcastle diet or anything. I simply saw the odd article that reducing the amount of cals in would mean that I would burn body fat. Now, I did lose 5kg in 6 months. Which was nice. However, my BG was still as hard to control...

Hi @Vyewalker, There was a time when I felt like Harry Potter when talking to Sirius when he said: "I just feel angry all the time" :mad: My GF is my saviour though. She has this calming effect on me. Alas, I can't give you my GF to keep you calm. However, I can tell you that since moving...
