I started measuring my blood glucose before meals with a Sinometer and it was generally below 5 mmol/L. Then I got a virus of some sort - no effect on my asthma, no snotting, no coughing, no intestinal upsets but no physical or mental energy for a couple of weeks. I've pretty much recovered...

I've got my phone sync'd to my Sinocare AQ Air BGM, and the app is only displaying the last 2 readings in the graph. It doesn't make any difference what view I select - I only get the last 2. The readings are all there - I exported them to double-check. As far as I'm aware I've not applied any...

I am thinking of getting my own meter and Rachox suggested I post my own thread. I had an AccuChek Instant for a short while for a medical trial, but I wasn't accepted on the trail as HbA1c was a touch too low! However it got me thinking that some investigation into my BG might be fruitful. My...

Just wondering, will you know if it's done you any harm until harm happens? BTW I'm another person that eats butter, drinks full-fat milk, eats full-fat yoghurts and rather likes fatty cuts of meat...

Blood taken for an HbA1c yesterday morning, and the results were there on MyDiabetesMyWay just now - 24 hours later. :) (pleased with the result as well)

I was talking to my GP in May 2022, and said I hoped I had another Munro in me - it was around 25 years since my previous one. I achieved that ambition on Tuesday 30th May, managing to get up & down Mayar in Glen Clova. Sadly Driesh would have been a hill too far, so will have to go back some...

I'm wondering about spiralizing as a way of making pasta substitutes - I came across the ideal of spiralized turnip recently! So I did a bit of research about spiralizers. I don't want to spend £££ on one, especially as it's new for me and I came across: OXO Good Grips hand-held spiralizer...

Is it possible to buy these in the UK? Plenty of places selling the seed, the gourd seems hard to come by/

I was actually diagnosed a year ago - HbA1c of 56 - but it sent me into such a flat spin it was some months before I could bear to look here. At the time it felt full of rather macho 'I will beat it into submission' posts and I simply looked at them and closed the browser window. However I...

Had this at a friend's recently and was very taken with it as an alternative to rice. However buying it is expensive. Any tips for making & cooking it? I have a food processor! If possible I think it would be sensible to make several portions at once and freeze any not going to be used on in...
