I find that if I have a natural yogurt and a few whole wheat crackers (Carr's Originals) that my BS levels are better in the morning and generally in the 5's otherwise with nothing before bed my levels can be around 7. Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x...

I could not agree more but that was more the Daily Mail than the phrase she was quoted as giving...

I eventually have just dealt with this a few weeks before we travel - I read the small print in the summary information on the Lloyds website which clearly states that unless they have confirmed in writing that you are, you will not be covered which I did not know until it was pointed out to me...

Home Secretary I was interested to hear that you have recently been diagnosed with Diabetes. There is a forum for fellow diabetes sufferers, their friends and families which provides a great support network to those who are recently diagnosed and those who have suffered from the condition for...

The Home Secretary's email address is: [email protected] I have written a polite note to her asking her to get involved and raise the profile of Diabetes care (good and bad) and that joining this forum would be a fine start. One or two of you might consider doing something similar.

Until you wake up and smell the coffee you really cannot be helped Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin - HbA1c - 48 mmol/mol

About once a week every time I open a new box of strips so every 50 tests for me. Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin - HbA1c - 48 mmol/mol

I thought you said you had not tested for 18 months - are your strips still in date and giving you an accurate reading? In any event that is no indication as to the Hba1c reading - stop the distraction therapy and get yourself to the doctors. You said you came here for help but you do not seem...

But you have no idea what your levels are or have been - the tingling is a sign that damage is not far away but as you wish they are your eyes and feet. Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin - HbA1c - 48 mmol/mol

Being brutal if you value your eyes and feet get to see your doctor and let him determine what your Hba1c level is and then make a decision as to whether there is or is not an emergency that needs dealing with. Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg...

Reducing carb intake to about 100g per day has taken by level from 66 to 48 in less than six months and to be honest it was not hard . Add some exercise as has been said will also help - a brisk walk on a regular basis will not hurt unless you have some other major health issues. Diagnosed...

I think I would go back to see the doctor - there is something not quite right with those levels but I am not very familiar with hypoglycemia and what the cause and remedies are although carbs might be the key and I would keep off of raw sugar carbs and go for complex carbs

Why do you think your blood sugar is low? are you testing it?

Apparently Jasper Carrot was trying to call his daughter Nora!

Please do try to be objective about the very significant contrasts in treatment provided by the NHS that we are all receiving - some of us very good, but some of us apparently very very bad. There is so much ignorance out there about this condition and we need some positive press occasionally -...

Boots is normally open in lots of places on a Sunday - if you are a smart phone user then there are a couple of ones that plug into your phone - I love the iBGStar which is about £24 from Boots now

OK where to start? 1 - start by writing down everything you eat and drink if you can using an app like MyFitnessPal and be honest; 2 - test immediately before and 2 hours after eating and record those results using an app like BGStar; 3 - reduce carb intake - there is normally a direct...

it is nothing to panic about - many of us occasionally get keytones but normally only for me when the readings have been quite high - you need to note the level of BS as that is the most important thing and the only reference point to know what is going on - take your level again there can be...
