Exercise can also affect blood glucose levels. I know mine goes shooting up If I exercise a lot.

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of helpful and kind people here. Ask lots of questions and someone will find an answer for you. Just remember not everything affects everyone the same way. You should try looking for info on basal testing for your lantus and carb counting for your bolus...

Me too.

Don't worry I'll tag @daisy1 to give you all the info you might need. Take a deep breath and don't panic. You have come to the right place

My sympathies I guess I am lucky as mostly my docs and nurses are good, they even listen to me mostly although I have had my fair share of "duds". I think it's a lottery sometimes.

I use a cream prescribed by my doc but some people use yogurt. I only get it though if my sugars are high. Do you test?

I was only 36 when diagnosed as well. I was fine in the June, my father had diabetes so we all tested(urine) regularly. By the middle of October I was showing symptoms. I am 63 now so there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a freight train coming your way!

Afraid it is the carbs. And I can't stop at two or three, if they are in the house I'll eat them!

There are 6grams of carbs in 50g of cherries including the stones! I love them too but can't eat them.

I can manage porridge, small portion, but with cream, oh the hardship!

Levemir 78 split into 2 doses 12 hours apart and humalog around 30 a day depending on the carbs I eat. The humalog is about one third of previous doses. Reduced due to low carb. Had to stop the metformin as I was so ill with it.

My jeans kept falling down too and had to buy a belt but now down 2 sizes and have ended up wearing leggings cos jeans just don't seem to stay up!

Totally agree except for the avocados. Can't stand them.

Try phoning the manufacturer it could be faulty strips. Do you have another meter to test with as an alternative?

I believe you have to pay for the software which I find appalling so just use a USB cable and look at the results

I was once told if I decided to cut my wrists it would take me 3 weeks to die! My blood disappears at the sight of a needle!

I had to use one a few years ago. I just found it a nuisance but it was worse for my husband. It wakened him up every time it took a measurement!

Mine neither, but then it's home made.

I hate them too!

Have you thought about a pump? I personally don't know much about them being type 2 but many people here seem to love them. Have a look around and see.
