Hey all, I got a codefree BG monitor yesterday and used it yesterday evening and this morning fine. My morning blood sugar was 10.5, which is around normal for me at the moment. I had breakfast a tested again 2 hours later and the first one came back as 19. I've never had a result higher than...

I wish my fasting levels were 6! 12 this morning and still no sign of getting my first appointment with the DN since diagnoses. Your levels are all within the normal range so that's great Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Yes, that's what I thought. Maybe I should have my blood pressure checked! As far as I understood type 2's don't have hypos unless on certain types of meds or insulin. Is that true of type 1's as well? My mum is a type 1 who was misdiagnosed as a type 2 at 31 as she was overweight. She's...

Is that available on andriod? The kids version comes up but looking on that link there's an adult companion version? It takes me to itunes though!:roll: Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks Diabell, from looking around there does seem to be a wealth of helpful information here. I guess the worry for me is more about not being able to see the diabetic nurse and no indication of when she may return. Essentially when I was told I had gone in to the Doctors for the results of...

Hey all, I've recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (I'm 28 ), however my timing sucks as the specialist diabetes nurse at my doctors is on long term leave. I was told to just wait until she was back (although they couldn't tell me when).I complained about this and managed to get a...
