Nurse said today need to change needle with every test. Is that really necessary?

Actually hoping reading maybe even lower when get home and relaxed.

Just came from the nurse who was very nice. And my blood sugar was 13.5 slightly relieved actually bit happy lol that down from 16.5 on blood test last week when fasting. Was really worried was gonna be over 16. Weighed in at 16.5 stone ouch (5ft 11) got meter and meds ready for the journey bit...

The doctor did say but I don’t remember. Yeah I’ll have a chat with the nurse cheers.

I’m seeing the nurse tomorrow and hopefully get my monitor. But I’ve been thinking my glucose was 16. I’ve cut a lot of things out last 3 or 4 days and I’m really hoping that 16 was some kind of early morning blip. I really want to lower it without meds. But if tomorrow say it’s still say 14-16...

No breakfast a concept I hadn’t considered lol. Unfortunately bacon is off for me but did get some nice sausages from the Jewish butcher so that’s a consideration. I’ll give the other thread a look. Anything on vitamins?

Just diagnosed and I’m working out a diet plan. So far ok on lunch and dinner but struggling a bit on breakfast. At home I used to have Frosties or a croissant and jam, going out I’d have scrambled eggs and salmon. I think I’m right in thinking eggs are ok but I’d like to keep that as a going...

Just been diagnosed and found this thread. Given me so much encouragement thanks guys. Starting point is 101. Seeing the nurse on Tuesday actually feel weirdly excited to change my lifestyle and get fitter. I think my reading 2 years was 44 and I didn’t take it very seriously but I certainly...

Maybe the vaccine question wasn’t so stupid. There’s actually quite a lot of stuff on twitter and diabetes UK actually mentions it as well. So maybe my numbers would have been bad but the vaccine added to that. Anyway will be interesting to see numbers next week.

Good to here resurgam. I had been eating a lot of bread and pasta last month or so. Thanks for response on Covid. Yeah I realise there’s obviously an issue as the 3 month guide is high. But just wondered short term on the vaccine.

I don’t wanna sound silly but obviously done some reading up. And I’ve seen that a cold can effect your blood sugar level. I’m just wondering if the Covid vaccine could have had an effect on my result. I had the vaccine Monday, Tuesday lunch did urine, Tuesday afternoon had slight fever and felt...

Ok guys thanks a lot. Was a bit shocked when I heard this afternoon. But after reading stuff on here I’m much less worried. Have been a real pig during lockdown as food was one of the only treats. But I’m very good with diet once I get on it so much less concerned than I was few hours ago thanks.

Yeah I might just cut out obvious for a month and see what happens like chocolate and fizzy drinks. Also seen carbs are quite bad and I do eat a lot of bread potatoes pasta and rice so hopefully that will make a difference. Could I get some advice on bread ? Should I cut it out all together? And...

Yup reading stuff in other threads seems my numbers although high can be improved with diet.

Well just had a call from doctor. I had a urine test Tuesday and they found some sugar so had bloods done yesterday. I had a few possible symptoms drinking a bit more and peeing bit more but nothing excessive. I had test a year ago and everything was fine. All other tests just had were fine. But...

Can I just ask something else while I’m here. I know thirst is a major symptom and I have been drinking more lately. But I’ve just been reading some stuff where people were drinking huge amounts before diagnosis. I never used to drink much maybe 1.5 litres a day. I’d say now it’s 2-3 litres...

Ok cheers for quick reply. Yeah guess I’ll find out soon enough.

I’ve been feeling bit under weather but I have ME and presumed it was that. But my GP ordered some bloods and a urine test. So lunch time today I went and did urine test. Now before I did the test I had a croissant jam large hot chocolate for breakfast. Then lunch I had chicken salad/Mayo...
