The thing that my mum said to me was I know its a bit too much carbs than normal, but you should be okay. She only did me one scoop full of spaghetti and more meat. Plus my mum is more concerned about my weight more than my blood sugar. They only get concerned about them when I'm drinking, any...

I've done better than before. I would normally eat more biscuits and cakes during my breaks at work and at home. Plus I have tried counselling and it has helped, I'm staying away from all things sweet. Like the other night, when my parents had a chippy, later that night they decided to do some...

Update on blood sugars, its gone down to 20.4. About to have Spag Bol with Garlic Bread and Mozzarella. I know that it is mostly carbs and my blood sugar is high, but I need something to eat. I told 111 and they are okay with me upping my Novorapid to 48 units just this once and are happy with...

I have done and now I'm being sent home from work early. I've been advised to take a ketone test (which has come back normal) and to take 10 extra units of Novorapid.

21.6, for my lunch today I had 2 slices of roast beef, 2 slices of ham, a babybel cheese and and some pickles.

Well I've just missed a phone call at 2:20pm from the diabetes nurse about my increase in dosage of Victoza. Will have to call back and leave them a message tomorrow morning.

Well I just tested my morning fasting blood sugar which is quite alarming at 26.8 and don't quite get as for my lunch yesterday I just had a few slices of cheese and for tea just 3 rashers of bacon and 4 sausages. I haven't had my breakfast yet and due to start work at half 9. Would a Oykos...

I've always only been on a fixed dose of insulin and I haven't been taught how to count carbs for my meals. The diabetes nurse that I normally talk hasn't mentioned carb counting, just that if it goes a bit high to take a couple more units of my Novorapid.

I got told to drop down my Novorapid from 40 units (3 times a day) to 36 units (3 times a day) and to up my Tresiba from 70 units to 89 units. They know about my high blood sugars and they advised that if it goes over and stays above 20, then I should call the doctors. My blood sugar this...

I've just tried to get an appointment, but I've been told that because I've been seen in November, that I've got wait another 4 months for an appointment to see the diabetes nurse.

It's okay. I've been asking for an appointment to no avail. My blood sugar after the gym, went down to 17.4 after I had a babybel cheese. Didn't take my insulin until I had my breakfast (Weetabix) at 11:30am, then lunch (chicken pasta salad) at 1:30pm. Now I've just had a chippy, which my mum...

My morning blood sugar today is at 20.4. Going go the gym, get to work and have some breakfast which is again Weetabix.

My blood sugars are all over the place. They are high (18+) when I wake up and then get extremely low (4.5) from 11am. From 2pm, they start to be stable between 12 and 14. I take a set amount of insulin every time and even then its still not enough some times. I'm also on Victoza and starting...

Well I wanted to say that I think I'm doing okay. It might not be a great start, but this is what I've had so far today. Morning Breakfast: 2 Weetabix and Semi-Skimmed Milk. Morning snack: A Croissant Lunch: Chicken & Bacon Pasta Bowl with a packet of Chicken Chipotle Bites. I've noticed...

Long time member of this site, but I haven't been on here in ages and I feel like getting my life back on track and that includes my diabetes, which I haven't kept on top of for the past 2-3 years. But now I'm back and more determined than ever to get my life better again with some help from...

Well I did get out some pork belly slices in a bbq hickory rub and had some fried cabbage in butter with it.

I just have 2 chicken wraps with plenty of cheese, sweet chilli and spicy mayo. Along with BBQ bites. I can't afford moving out, even though I have tried and looked. I can't afford it yet and I'm 28.

Hello all, It's been quite some time since I was last on here, so I will get you all updated. I'm type 2 diabetic (9 years) on insulin, metformin and victoza. Since lockdown happened, I haven't been taking my medication nearly as much as I should which is 44 units of novorapid and 88 units of...

So my diabetes nurse will only contact me every six months by a phone call and was just wondering if this is the normal now. Before Covid struck I was in regular contact with them, but now they've only contacted me via the phone maybe 5 times in two years now. I can't seem to get an appointment...
