Hi all....just a quickie. My T2 diabetes is usually really well controlled, but yesterday I had a bit of a blip. I couldn't get my BM to rise above 5. My first blood test was 3.6, but I didn't get any hypo warnings, then most of the day it was reading between 4.4 and 5. I've just been diagnosed...

Maybe nothing....just had a morning BM of 3.8 but no symptoms whatsoever...I feel totally 'normal'. Should I be concerned? I have had lower readings way in the past but not recently....

My fasting BM was 10 yesterday and 10.5 this morning! :(

Hi guys! I've been on Empagliflozin for a few years now and I just can't stop peeing! So much so that my lack of mobility means I can't get to the toilet quick enough. Wondering if oral Semaglutide would suit me better? Just a thought....XXX

Prior to going to bed BM was 6.4. Lantus, 40mls, injected bout 10.30pm. 10.4 reading was 9am this morning, prob about 3 hours after waking, and watching TV....

Now you’re talking. My fasting BMs seem high too, after only having some chicken and salad at 5pm the previous night.....10.4 this morning! I think I have insulin resistance too. Night time meds are a statin and Lantus and I have a mug of coffee, decaff, with sweetener. So maybe I should eat...

Oh tell me about it.....When you say ‘natural’ fats, which do you mean? I eat full fat natural Greek yoghurt, Cheddar cheese, milk.....what others can I eat? I can’t eat nuts of any kind as they have an adverse effect on my bowel....and I really miss them. I live in a 3rd floor apartment so...

Anything and everything....unfortunately. I craved bread so I bought some. Bad idea. So it’s now gone to feed the birds. I haven’t eaten breakfast since I was 15, lunch is usu about 2pm and consists of meat and veg.....cauliflower, sprouts; no carrots, potatoes or peas, tea time, if I...

I've been on Lantus since 2005. I think I've been giving far too much...100 units at night, sometimes more, and I do know insulin causes weight gain. I just want to eat all the time. I'm never hungry....so yes, I do graze. That could be where I'm going wrong....[emoji848]

I take Empagliflozin and find it's ok. No side effects except weeing a lot....[emoji1]

I’m not new to low carbing but I recently decided to embark on it again. I am a bit puzzled though. In the past I was told I could eat as much protein as I wish. All day. Every day. Is this still the case? The reason I’m asking is I’ve put on 4lb in weight in the last 3 days!!! I’m...

OMG! I've just gotta go 'n' cook me some of this....mouth is watering as I write! Thanks guys.....:happy::happy:

Ooh...good idea....but eggs are out, I'm afraid...my stomach doesn't like them. But bacon and beans is just up my street! Thanks!

Thank you wonderful people.....any ideas what I could use to replace the bread? I do like my toast.... ‍♀️ BM this morning 4.6. I’m cockahoop!!!!!!

Wow! I've never heard of this before but I suppose it could be...thanks.

Yes, I washed my hands and repeated the test....11.4 I don't sleep well any night, pain doesn't help and some meds give me not very nice dreams....

Ok.....I’m getting confused. I have T2 diabetes, on Empaglaflozin, Metformin, and Lantus. I’m oh so careful what I eat...and I’ve been in lockdown since March 13th. Last night my bedtime BM was 6.5. This morning my fasting is 11.3!!!! What’s that all about? Last food was a ham salad...

Yes, thank you ladies.....I'll deffo phone....I've got my compression stockings on but I read that I should leave them off for the time being. Thoughts?

Thanks hun....x
