Wow!. I cant see anywhere that I wrote "I am not taking this seriously". I expressed doubts based on knowing my own body and also genuinely reflected on potential causes eg what I had eaten/exercise etc.

The 1.7 was at 7.45am The cupcake was about 9.45 am.

I also have a needle phobia. Testing myself is a nightmare.

I didn't say I was having a hypo. My reading was low but, in fairness, I didn't experience the symptoms apart from feeling a touch light headed. And that could be down to anything. I ate the cupcake out of an abundance of caution. Yes I am on Metformin for diabetes plus a plethora of other...

I believe NHS guidance is to fast 8-10 hours before a blood glucose test. I usually go 12 and when I am asked when I last ate and drank, and I tell them, nobody has ever said I have fasted too long or for too short a time.

Thank you. I know I am not eating enough. Well, not eating enough of the right stuff..and none of the wrong stuff.

Will do my best..

I will but hope, in six weeks of use, its not exhausted already.

I will check my meter when I get home. Its been fine so far so no reason why it should suddenly go wrong but who knows..

Diagnosed about 5-6 years ago, I think. Maximum dose of Metformin per day.

Its not about not caring. I want to care but find the struggle real. I ate that cupcake this morning and honestly, it didn't make me feel like I wanted to go back to sugar. In fact I felt weak and pathetic for resorting to it. I just have so much going on and nothing gets resolved and food just...

That is very kind. Thank you.

Hi, I feel okay thank you. A little light headed but, stupidly, I really haven't eaten much in the last few days. No breakfast, small salad at lunch, half a dozen strawberries and an evening meal of meat and veg. My appetite really isn't there recently and eating the same thing day in, day...

Well yes, they should be avoided but I think this was just a combination of things, unfortunately.

Monitor is virtually brand new so there shouldn't be an issue there. Possibly too few carbs (virtually none to be fair) and I exercised this morning before I tested. Before this I had read 3.3 twice, both in the morning. Feel slightly spaced out but not bad. have eaten two satsumas and some...

This morning- about 7.45. Eating that cupcake felt like giving in. Doing something I shouldn't have done.

Cant test as I don't have my monitor with me..one of those mornings I am sorry to say. Feel okay. Couldn't face another cupcake. Feel like I have failed big time by being in this situation and having to eat one.

A cupcake it is then. Only thing available. Cupcake eaten- first sugary thing in weeks. Now eating sausages...exciting stuff!

1.7 then re-tested and my machine said "LO"...no problem with the monitor as its virtually brand new. So..what do I do ?. I am at work. Salad and two sausages in the fridge. Cupcakes in the kitchen.. Do I just let things go and see what happens, or should I have something sugary ?. Advice...

Yes I have something similar. Probably worse in fact but it comes and goes. I find a bit of hydrating lotion or even a bit of Germoline can help. Vaseline is a good suggestion. I have had decent feet for months but the last couple have seen my feet get itchy and cracking skin. I think, in my...
