Just woken up and tested my bs levels and they are 15.4

Well I did the 3am test and my bs level is exactly 21. I am delaying the start on lchf as I do not have much of my student loan to pay for a lchf shopping trip and I think another trip to my gp is due as I keep on hearing my gut moving and churning everyday now for at least two weeks and its got...

I've heard that stress can increase BG is this true? Because if it is I don't know what to do to become less stressed out as it is my final year of uni and have been feeling the stress since September.

I've already had my meds increased last Wednesday with my lixisenatide going up to 20mg from 10mg and still waiting to get the prescription from the chemist as they said it would take up to a week for collection. I also have a gym membership, but have been unable to go as i had mole surgery on...

What's a basal injection as the only injection that I take is lixisenatide as I am type 2 and not on insulin.

I tested my levels before I went to bed last night and they were at 7.6, but when I got up and tested I had a level of 12.9 which shocked me quite a bit as I don't have a clue on what could have shot it up that high.

Yes I can, its no problem at all. I just forget to test sometimes.

Unfortunately for me I won't be able to have a steamer in my halls kitchen flat as its one of their kitchen rules. I've been testing for the past 2 days and my lowest blood sugar was 12.3 last night at 11pm. I had a good healthy breakfast of grilled bacon and fried eggs with 2 hash browns that...

I love eggs no matter which way they are cooked. I also love to eat all types of meat, fish and veg, except for avocado as i've tried it and I did not like it at all. I like double cream in my morning decaf coffee and don't need sugar or sweetner for the taste, I also like squirty cream and...

Dillinger, I am a Type 2 Diabetic and got first diagnosis in October 2012 when I was 19 and just starting my first year at University of Derby. I should have been diagnosed much earlier, but due to the fact that my GP in Stoke-on-Trent was pretty much unhelpful I experienced Hyperosmolar...

On my true result lancet pen I had it too high at 5 and when I checked the lancet it was blunt. I really want to change my eating ways as I need to lost at least 75kg to be at normal weight as I weigh 151.5kg. I am seeking help from the livewell programme in Derby and was recently asked to...

I do not have urine test strips and I have not given up on low carb, I just can't get on the band wagon yet.

Really?? That is strange as when I drink a can of it for one day a week it does not affect me. But tbh i rarely test my blood sugars and I feel great, like yesterday I had 4 toasted slices of Warburtons Fruit Loaf with Orange for breakfast, then for lunch another four slices of the fruit loaf...

Primula Squirty Cheese is low carb, for a 25g squeeze it contains one gram of carbs (of which 0.7 grams is sugar), it has 3 grams of protein, 3.7 grams of fats and provides 50 calories. I might buy some and top it on a burger with some mayo chilli...

Your welcome :) thats ok, i found this recipe and it looks delish :happy: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/roasted-olives.html

There are other anchor squirty creams, but they contain 95% cream and 4% sugars

Hi mo53, I wanna try olives again as I love cooking with olive oil, but when I had olives from a jar they just tasted too bitter. Would roasting olives and then adding cheese on top counteract the bitterness? I found this squirty cream by Anchor and its extra thick spray cream which is 99%...

I feel fine now, the wounds are healing up nicely and itching which is a good sign that they are healing. I've also only had a dash of diet coke in a week and that was at my uni's student union bar as they do pints, half pints and dashes of drinks, the bartender then looked at me in a strange...

I forgot to mention that I lost another 3kg in a month :) and I had 2 moles on the back of my neck removed 2 days ago which strangely raised my blood sugars and blood pressure quite dramatically and made me look pale and I was shaking for some time.I don't know if this is common for diabetics...

I don't have excessive thirst all the time, its just that I drink so that I don't feel like snacking. For example, today I had a bowl of cereal at 7:30am and just over a litre of water until I had some Walkers baked crisps at 2:30pm. I drink to suppress my hunger and to keep hydrated as the...
