I wash my hands with soap and test within 5 minutes of getting out of bed. Some members have their test kit by the bed and use a sanitizer then test so they test before even getting out of bed. Maybe an experiment you could do to see if you get a better result?

I miss porridge so much……and pasta! The rest you can keep. I was never a great fruit or vegetable eater :p

I started taking Berberine as I’d read this lowers BG levels. After 4 days I had the most awful midriff (stomach and liver area) pain. I didn’t acknowledge it was the berberine until I realised that was the only change I’d made. Within a day of stopping taking it the pain went away. So I have...

Me too plus a folate (B9) supplement as my blood tests keep showing I’m deficient. Don’t know if this has anything to do with being T2 and taking Metformin but I had all of the typical symptom, breathlessness and fatigue being the worst. After taking it for 4 days the symptoms went away.

I’m interested in what you had for breakfast. I just have coffee with cream as I don’t start feeling hungry until around noon

oh wow @aylalake that is a beautiful portrait by your grandson :happy: My inspiration comes from other member's achievements and success stories. I’m afraid I’m like @Antje77 and my mood is often governed by my BG numbers and getting cross with myself if I eat something I should’t

I forgot to post yesterday :rolleyes: Exactly 1lb off so that has put me in a good mood and my BG has been in the 5s for 2 days. It always makes a difference to my day when I have results like these. I should be grateful for the life I have instead of dwelling on silly numbers :D;) Well done...

Well I don't understand this and it’s happened a few times before, maybe someone can explain? I got up had a wee, walked through to the kitchen, washed my hands and tested 6.0mmols at 7:20am. Bounced the ball a few times down the hall for the dogs to chase, let them in the garden, went to let...

@Trishhh you can self refer to Talking Therapies. You Start by filling in a questionnaire online and from those results it prompts them to respond. I got a phone call that day and I filled out my questionnaire at 2am! You can have sessions face to face, by zoom one to one or group plus emails...

I shop online at Sainsbury’s and always check the nutrition label for items in my basket if I’m unsure, which has the carbs listed. There are a few apps around, l use Carb Manager. I’ve also googled any food and it comes up with carbs per 100g, I can calculate from that whether that food needs...

Fantastic results well done. You must be very proud of yourself :cool: :happy:

6.9 at 7:30. Still erratic sleep but I’ve started taking magnesium to see if that helps. It’s surely better for me than nytol! @Estragon I used to have to feed tinned fish balls to the families dog (by hand!) when I was an au pair in Sweden. Never had a fish ball since! :hungover: Have a fab...

I forgot to post last week! I’m still in my yo-yo phase, last Friday’s weigh-in showed I’d put on 3lbs after stuffing my face with gay abandon over Christmas so serves me right :arghh: This week I’ve lost 4.5lbs so I’m classing that as a 1lb loss :rolleyes: Well done everyone and happy new year

Hello @LJay1. and welcome to this lovely forum. There is a wealth of information and support here and I hope you benefit as I have from joining. Although we can’t give medical advice coincidentally I’ve just been researching sleep problems as I average about 2-3 hours a night and exhausted all...
