Thank you for your super quick reply xI am type 2 on Merformin and on a HFLC ish diet. I find I can tolerate more carbs now I have lost nearly 3 stone but still never consider buying anything with more than 10grams per 100 and aim for lower. I don't have hypo's anymore, I think I used to as...

I hope you did well at the Gino. I had the same when I began to menopause, sometimes just standing up would create such a flood despite using triple protection. I couldn't leave the house at times, the bathroom at others! I bought a Mooncup and it was life changing. Amazing product. I could...

I have just arrived in USA after flying from Gatwick and I bundled up my blood testing kit with enough strips and lancets and tablets to last the trip ( in case suitcase went missing- it has happened) in a see through plastic bad the same as liquids. The security didn't even blink an eye when I...

I have found that I now only focus on the carb content of foods when purchasing rather than the sugar- does this work? If something has a lot of cigar in would that always make it high carb? Thanks

I am so loving my concoption in the morning, having been missing my porridge from days of old! An egg, whisked up in a cereal bowl then mixed with ground almonds, I add anything from almond essence, frozen rasberrys, plums, blueberrys. grated lemon, to chia seeds, nots and/or coconut....etc...

Thanks guys. I run everyday between 5 and 8k, which I always have done, and it seems all my hard work has paid off as I had a reading of 4.5 the other evening! The danger is I may become complacent so back on the strict diet and running regime for me. I lost just over two stone, another 2 to go...

6.2? Lowest for months? What's going on? Ate a huge pizza which usually would send me......

Wonder what my fasting will be in morning? Usually 6.9 ish, quite high, never been able to bring it down .

Went out for a celebration with my daughter tonight to a pizza restaurant. There was nothing low carb at all so I thought 'what the heck' and 'it's a one off' ( I am usually very strict) and had a pizza, ( white base rather than tomatoe) I have been low carb high fat for ages now, lost a lot of...

Getting a bit stuck in no carb breakfasts- does anyone use a NutraBullet and what are your BG results please? Think they need apples or grapes to sweeten drinks which for me is a no no but am I missing something? Thank you

I made bullet proof coffee a few times ( my problem is that I don't like fresh coffee [emoji45]) however one day I made it and couldn't manage to drink it all at once. Leaving it to go cold. It was almost like a Frappee, really thick and creamy, ( but horrid as tepid fresh coffee lol) Has...

I have eaten porridge every morning for 50 years and now I have found it gives me a huge spike an hour after ( up to 13) , usually gone back down to a more acceptable level at two hours ( in the 5's or6's, however I usually run for around 45 mins straight after so the days I have measured the...

I find if I squeeze my finger a little first then squeeze the blood out it gets more blood and I use a lower click level.

Got it thanks, have no idea why it wasn't coming up on my initial search- must have been some sort of user error [emoji16]

I am so sorry you are in this position. I have experience caring for someone with severe mental health issues, have seen the refusal of meds/tests ( I'm ok now,it's not me it is everyone else etc) and I have diabetes. I am newly diagnosed so cannot offer much in the way of advice but I just...

Hi just read about downloading Carbs and Cals on an Android, but can't find it on my IPad, does anyone have it on an Apple device? How? Thank you

Thank you Himtoo.

Please can I have some opinions on testing bgl? Should I test an hour or two hours after food? When I had gestational it was two hours, on diagnosis recently the Dr told me an hour, ( but I did two hours) so recently I have alarmed myself by testing an hour after and sometimes getting high...

I too have a clinical side Brunnaria, and I quite agree. I will still do some two hour tests, however perhaps take it a bit easier on myself. I have been doing at least 7 tests a day, with an extra 3 recently for the hour after so my thumbs are getting quite sore. I think I will start a new...

Ps I don't have my glasses on, am sitting with my sleeping daughter so I hope my posts are legible!
