Typically bread is around 17g carbs per slice. Burgen linseed and soya is around 11g per slice. Available in supermarkets everywhere.

Wheat bread is likely to increase your blood glucose alarmingly. You need to test before and 1hr after eating and test again 2hrs after eating to see how different foods affect you. It's the only way to work out a diet that is good for your bg. Many here eat to their meter. Aiming for a not more...

Personally I like the term lurker. I think it would suit me.:rolleyes:

I had to change over from a paper one in January last year when diagnosed and put on insulin. No payment necessary.

Easy one for me. I was in hospital at the time being diagnosed with cancer and almost died in a&e. So after the family were told I was not going to make it and then told I had a very aggressive cancer and could go either way, and then I also had steroid induced diabetes (from the drugs to keep...

I am now a regular. I was a legend. I will always be a legend to me..:wacky: (feels like a song coming on)

Got one or these sent free. You need an iPhone or iPod to use it. I think Android phones now have an app for it as well. It is not a stand alone meter, more or an adapter for your phone. It uses a standard type Lancet but has no storage for them. It does store the strips but there is no case...

Welcome @daisy1 will be along with some useful information. Hopefully this should help you understand diabetes a little better. It's still early days for you. Ask any questions you like however silly it may seem to you. We've all gone through the steep learning curve.

Yes. Probably the soup. Corned beef has very little or no carbs. Some people here find onions can affect them as well as the carrots and turnip.

Always in the fridge. The family understands it has to be there and not to push it to the back where it would freeze. It has to be in the fridge so food is no 2 on the importance list. I have a fridge thermometer that sits on or next to the insulin. Don't take chances.
