Heart burn is a pain, no matter what I do I can't get off omeparazole completely =(. Down to every 3 days now The only thing that's helped me when it's mild is apple cider vinegar. Others swear by baking soda and mustard A lot of lifestyle changes can help too eg losing weight, quitting...

What an ass, he doesn't deserve you! Be glad he ended it, you don't need that negativity in your life. Keep eating salt, we need it to function properly. We've been told all these years we need to cut down on salt and its bad for our hearts, its rubbish. Since being keto I eat a lot more salt...

Low sugar usually contains artificial sweeteners, sweeteners are terrible for the stomach! As others have said though these diet/low sugar/zero sugar drinks still effect some peoples BG. I used to love pepsi max but when I actually saw how much it affected my results I stopped drinking it. Maybe...

I find the SD code free really reliable, I've checked it against the gluco nexus that was prescribed by nurse(only get strips every 3-6months hense why I have a cheaper meter as well) all results matched up. It's important to remember to change meter every 1-2 years

Oh yeah and to add insult to add insult to injury I bought a bottle of olivio the other day thinking it was olive oil. 15%olive oil the rest rape seed oil. Another bottle of oil for under the sink

Nice, well done

It might be worth either asking your nurse if you can borrow or buying your own blood pressure machine. I have this problem cos am always worked up and unrelaxed when I get to the surgery. I've heard from a reliable source you need to check when you are COMPLETELY relaxed to get a n accurate...

Hello. So, I finally checked my ketones with a urine stick and they were 8.0 mmol/L my BG, however, is 5.8 mmol/L. I'm guessing I only need to worry if my BG is high too? Just wasn't expecting my ketones to be so high. I did fast for 16 hour last night until this afternoon. Just want to make...

Really gutted mine was 8.2 on waking. The only thing I did differently was drank a glass of pepsi max as it was my friends daughters birthday. Done a little research and from what I can see 'no sugar' drinks can have an affect on blood glucose for some type 2s. Just letting everyone know, be...

6.3 at 9am. It's been rough, but I've finally stopped craving carbs. I wouldn't recommend going cold turkey mind. False hypos, even though you're bloods are in the normal range, can feel very real when youre body has become used to higher glucose levels. Whening down is probably the best option...

6.3 at 9am. Really happy I'm starting to see mine going down. My body's finaly stopped craving carbs. It's been difficult to cut them out, I won't lie. I wouldn't recommend going cold turkey like I did, but I've got through it and am still here!
