I've been re using mine, and usually change every couple of days. I did wonder if it could alter the result, so not sure about that.

Hi Calamity, have just sat and read all that has happened to you.....really bad service all round, and so dangerous .You've received great advice from everyone here and I hope you get the treatment you need and deserve from your new GP practice. Wish you well and keep us updated how your...

I can't seem to get below 8. But last few days even though I've eaten something I've eaten before at night, it's gone up to mid 10, and in the morning is still the same, and after eating breakfast gone up to 11 and 12 post 2 hour meal test. When I am high like this I'm unsure what eat for...

Oooh.....fried bread!!

Hi Deb, how is ur testing and meal planning going. My results are getting better, but I still have the odd slip up. I really need to write everything down, and plan what I eat better, according to my BG levels. I've been so busy lately......pregnant daughter came to stay with me and she has just...

I noticed in the Diabetic shop here that they have multi vits on sale, so I would think that may be a recommendation of sorts. I'm having tingling in my legs and feet, although I have already seen the Podiatrist who did the usual test and said that there seems to be no damage to the circulation...

Hi everyone. As a recently diagnosed T2, I'm now on Metformin 500 x 3 daily, and reduced carb diet. I'm wondering what Vitamins and minerals are depleted when you have diabetes, and can someone offer some advice or recommend what supplements I should take if needed,to help stay healthy. Thanks .

Now I'm even more confused. If we are cutting down on Carbs and so increase the protein for energy, and the BG levels are elevated, then how is that helping? How will I know if that's my bodies reaction to the small amount of carb I've eaten or the meat? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

After yesterday's evening meal of lots of Okra in a tomato sauce, with one brown bread roll and 5 grapes which gave a post prandial reading of 9.3, my fasting is only down to 7.9. Why still so high? Wonder if the dawn phenomenon is anything to do with it? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

It was a ravioli with spinach and ricotta filling Deb. No meat. But the still high morning result shows it is very slow to be absorbed . Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

My Post pasta reading was 8.0, which although high is much better than last week when I first started testing. This morning my fasting BG was 7.0, so like you said its a slow decline. But again for me that's better than it has previously been. This evening it's worse :-( I had okra in tomato...

That's a very interesting article about Diabetic Dyslipidemia, and it could indeed be what the Nurse was referring to. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Help I'm confused. My Nurse said Diabetes and high cholesterol usually went hand in hand. I eat a Mediterranean diet, which I thought was healthy, and I always went for low fat healthy food,but my cholesterol was up a little anyway. I'm now on Simvastatin, and interested in everyone's opinion...

I've felt hungry today too.

Is that one of Patricks recipes ? I love cheesecake, my daughter sat and ate a gorgeous one in front of me yesterday.......I nearly caved in. I m not really that keen on peanut butter, but thinking it may be a good source of protein and maybe I could do with introducing it into my diet.

Hi Annelise, thanks for your feedback. I've only been recently diagnosed, and so for the moment everything is trial and error as my Nurse told me just to eat anything only smaller portions. I've since found that doesn't work, and so I'm still in the testing stage of seeing what affects me. I've...

Back again. Took a pre meal test this afternoon it was 6.0. Had 2 whole wheat buns with cheese and lots of salad, and a cup of tea and 3 hours later it's 9.5 still. Bought the buns fresh from the bakers and so no label on, so guess it's not as whole wheat as I thought. Just ready to have...

Ahh....I ate quite a lot of grapes last night...another culprit! I always put cumin in 'Kofta ' fancy name for burgers or meat balls, and use plenty of herbs too. Yummy!

No not late, and my post meal was 13.0.!! It's my fault as my daughter made a Paella last night, and so I ate half a portion...again I'm still testing to see how far I can push my luck( or my BG levels) . I'm learning the hard way. Now Paella is out......I love Paella :-( What if you eat...
