I have taken it for a few months now and after a couple of days I was fine.

I used to have the ultra easy but I believe they are not up to the current standards now. I think you can get a free upgrade from the company

Try funky pumpers.

I stopped the metformin one of the reasons being it didn't help me lose weight. As to the sandwich I find if I eat so much as a tea biscuit my sugar rockets now and it is not a good feeling it makes me crave carbs!

Well done.

Well done keep it up and don't slack.

I will complete your survey shortly. I no longer have issues with injecting in public after 2 little old ladies accused me of taking drugs. Fortunately my mum was with me and announced to the restaurant and the old ladies in particular that yes I was taking prescribed drugs and if I didn't I...

The test cassettes are on offer at Boots just now up to 40% off!

Illness will put your BS up unfortunately. I stopped taking metformin altogether as I was so ill on it and found that it didn't make any difference to my blood sugars or help me lose weight/not put it on. Perhaps you should have the test in may then deal with the review and see what the results...

I think it all depends on what you eat, how your body reacts to carbohydrates etc. I would say if your sugars are within the 4 - 7 range that's fine but usually it's after meals are the higher figures. I need to bolus 1 unit for 5 carbs in the am and 1 unit for 10 in the pm. I only got to this...

I typed in driving and diabetes on their website and got some info but perhaps not what you need.

Welcome to the forum. I will @daisy1 who can provide a lot of info for newcomers. My est advice would be to try the LCHF diet as many here do. I have lost 1 stone in 10 weeks. My blood sugar .Hba1c has come down from 60 to 50 after trying this. The diet doctor has plenty of info and so does this...

Too true

Well done @GeorgiyH

I was forced to take the True You meter by my GP and I found it to be such a nuisance. Kept losing all the readings putting wrong dates in and I couldn't set meal markers or anything when just taken a reading. I went back to my countour next USB and now have the next one, brilliant meter btw...

I hope so too but you probably have. If I have any out of mealtime carbs nuts or 90% chocolate squares my sugar goes up and I crave more. Need to empty my cupboards

5.6 this morning thank goodness back to normal.

Should be fine. When I was pregnant before I was diagnosed, I refused point blank to go through the X-ray scanners. I got a body search (not invasive) instead. Don't know what the doctors advise now though so I would check. Enjoy yourself though.

Didn't we all!

7.3 this morning which was kind of expected as I had a couple of hypos yesterday for no apparent reason and probably overcompensated on the carbs. Feeling better now. 5.1 after breakfast.
