    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.2 today, up 0.5 :arghh:. I'm guessing the excessive alcohol intake past two days (it's 60p a bottle here! What can I do?!) Noticable permanent numbness in big toes, ball of foot and slight reduction in feeling of left pinkie, and of all things top of belly button! Time to take it seriously.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.7 this morning again, and first A1c in over 2 years was 5.4, so not too bad considering I follow no diet of any kind (except being in the Philippines it's too hot to have an appetite - and everything contains sugar!)

    Anyone own a Sannuo Yizhun GA-3 ?

    I just got this from China, via Lazada. It has many very good reviews, but I'm a little surprised at my readings (happy, but surprised)... Fasting 4.7, postprandial 3 hours 4.9 Does anyone else have one and can confirm it is accurate?

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    HI all. Diagnosed T2 Feb 2016 after a visit to the Philippines and learned you don't have to be overweight to have diabetes! My GP estimated I'd had it for at least 18 months - and I had been attributing the thirst and nightly wee to too much cider! Been on Metformin 2g ever since. Can't...
