Thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement and advice. You are an amazing forum.:)

OK problem resolved my meter giving false reading. Checked on friends meter and I was a healthy 6.7 . Panic over.

Hiya. Ok I have eaten very carefully and just checked and it is reading 11.1 which is spectacularly high for me but way down from 20 yesterday. I will check later on my friends meter and see how that looks. Thanks for your help and concern.

Problem is I am deep In rural Somerset tonight and birdwatching in Wales for 3 days so very little med support. But one of my gang I'm meeting up with tomorrow is a type 1 diabetic so I can do a test on her meter and see how it looks. She can also advise me. If I do another test now and...

I feel OK - no thirst or peeing. I have a slight headache but it probably stress. All I had eaten before test were 2 boiled eggs and a crayfish salad. I had some chicken and carrots fir dinner. I will do another test in 2 hrs. My weight is stable at 81kg at 5'10

Thanks for help. I am not sure if it's a rogue strip. I am using a Dario meter and app. I will try in a couple of hours before bed and wash my finger carefully.

hi the last time I was on the forum at the end of April my bsg was a healthy 5.5. I stopped regular testing and just eat sensibly with the odd treat. My weight stayed much the same. Yesterday I thought I should check and was horrified my bsg was 12.1 and tonight it is 21 and I am away from...

My 2 hour post prandial was a healthy 5.8 so I guess I can stop worrying and assume it was the stress of the house move :-)

Hi again. This morning my fasting level was a reassuring 5.4 ! I will do another postprandial and report back on that.

Over the last 4 months I have moved my blood sugar down steadily to a normal average of 6.0 and my hca1 in jan was a reasonable 42 down from 48 in November. I am eating carefully and have lost weight. I relaxed and stopped testing too much. I have started checking regularly and results...

6.7 today which is slightly up for me but my A1C was 42 last week so I am fairly relaxed.

I just did my post meal and it has shot up to 8.4!!!! which is way higher than anything in the past 30 days. Had very light dinner - no alcohol or anything Really concerned :-)

I use a Dario meter which seems fine. I have been very happy with my post dinner readings which have been between 5.5 and 6.2. My fasting readings however seem still on the high side - and have moved from 6.1 earlier this week to 6.9 today and I have been eating very carefully. Is this...

6.30 am 6.1

I really like my Dario. It was a bit fiddly at first and I wasted some strips in getting the hang of it but now it works just fine and is very handy to travel with - I travel a lot. I don't know if I can get the strips on NHS, I will ask my GP who is super helpful.

I am back on this forum after a while away. Just needing bit of support to get my levels back to normal. my Doctor has given me until end jan to get out from diabetic range hc1a was 48 end Nov.. It was 42 last year. So I am back on low carb regime and checking fairly regularly with my Dario...

Well done - certainly an excellent life style, many would envy your control.

I get confused from my reading online as to whether I should stick with low fat yoghourt/milk or switch to full fat versions. Thanks David

start the day with greek yoghourt 15% fat mixed with berries and sprinkle of all bran. coffee with skim milk. Slice of dark toasted bread. during day i snack on peaches/apricots/some almonds. lunch either a smallish portion of smoked fish often with a few new potatoes and butter sometimes...
