Tested on waking. Tested again two hours later only having had water. Reading is 0.5 higher. No idea why. Any input appreciated, thanks.

Thank you. That is helpful to know [emoji4]

Thank you. Yes, I had seen that and it is a very good article. However it doesn’t really clarify if dosage is like for like. I guess I will wait til Weds.

Thanks. I did ask the pharmacy but they said they can only go on what has been written on the prescription. I’m not asking anyone to tell me what to take, and I intend to stay on regular metformin until I speak to my diabetes nurse. I just wondered if anyone knew if the dosage is like for...

Hello all Have just picked up new prescription for slow release metformin. Up until now I have been prescribed 2x500mg twice a day of regular metformin. The new box says to take one 500mg slow release tablet “as advised”. As far as I can make out, that is only a quarter of the dose I have...

What does DD mean please?

I saw these in Sainsbury's the other day, next to the chilled prepared veg section

Hi all, Came here looking for inspiration and have got some good ideas, thank you :) Am going to try the coconut porridge, and would love to try this cheesy corned beef thing that a lot of people have mentioned but cannot find the post with the recipe. Can anyone help me out please? Also...

Sorry, I may not have made my question terribly clear. I know exactly what values are in the food I am eating, but I cannot add the food to the food diary in the low carb program. What I want to know is how I can add items that are not in the database.

Have been keeping track of food and drinks consumed using the food diary in the low carb program but there must surely be a way that we can add in the values of items not found in the search results. The database cannot cover every item from every store so how do we log these foods in our...

Just want to thank you all for the helpful replies. I am, for the first time, looking at my new dietary intake as a lifestyle change not a short term diet. Blood Glucose down from high teens to 8 so I am very happy with the way things are going in week 1! I have also been walking a fair bit...

Thanks Guzzler. It's going well so far..... just got to keep at it :)
