4.6 Apparently my body likes what I'm doing at LARP.

I'm so happy, back to a 5 this morning. First time in months I've been in the 5 levels has been this weekend whilst out at a LARP event.

I tried to write a little something to everyone having a hard time recently, seems like lots had happened whilst I was busy enough not to be online but the forum or my phone have eaten it thrice. So please know I hope everyone is doing well. For those still in the deep cold I salute you. I can...

9 in the morning...then had weetabix for breakfast and 2 hours later I was showing at 8. 8 again before lunch and 2 hours after lunch showing 6.4 All seems a bit suspicious to me, still can't bring myself to trust this new monitor.

Yesterday B chicken wings L caesar salad without croutons D nothing S really late banana after I felt nauseous from forgetting to eat dinner Today B 2 scrambled eggs with fried peppers, cherry tomatoes, and goat's cheese L is going to be quail with sweet potato and turmeric, leeks, and maybe...

My nephew and a few other people on O2 received it again on Monday apparently. I hope you weren't subjected to it again. Another friend received the alert but it came through as gibberish, like it was still encoded instead of in English. Funny how the whole thing was sub contracted to a company...

I heard some people received the alert early so if you had it late I can only assume they sent it as soon as it popped back onto the network. It also, predictably, didn't work properly so some carriers never sent it (several people I know on 3 didn't receive it at all). Not surprised they did...

Thanks for the welcome @jjraak This is what they gave me: https://medaval.ie/docs/specs/Taidoc-TD4285-Specs.pdf I put in a new battery, the strips are apparently in date. I used to be 5s and 6s in the morning, I believe perimenopause may be to blame for the new higher level trend throughout my...

I was given a machine by the NHS here in Malta to test my bloods and I do not trust it. This morning it said the following for the same pinprick with different test strips: Too high to measure 9.1 11 30.4 9 It's done similar a lot and the NHS people here won't do anything about it. I guess I...

I did self diagnose, sort of, I am aware it may *not* be gastroparesis but something else causing delayed gastric emptying. B12 deficiency, might not be causing it but may even be as a result of something that could be causing it... I am aware that I had an infection that is known to cause...

I don't know for certain, as it does seem to be worse when my B12 is lowest, like I feel bloated / full after just a few bites of food. Then the nausea can start up. For me it's probably a mix of various things I have all comorbid with each other that can all effect the digestive system, I can...

I came here to ask this very question. My meals that used to only bump 2 maybe 3 are spiking me up 4 and 5...same meals I've been having for years without an issue. Maybe it's just a thing because I've had this for years and eventually it does become worse but it seems weirdly tied to when I...

I have had to have b12 jabs for years, you don't even have to be really low to have symptoms from low b12 and if taking supplements is not keeping your levels up you probably aren't absorbing it properly and may also need the jabs. I know when I'm needing another jab because symptoms appear that...

Thanks, mostly the food is raising it by less that 2mmol so you're right, I'll just keep going as normal and deal with the illness as best I can. I know it's common for the body to release extra glucose into the blood stream when you're ill, I just had never noticed it go quite so high at...

I've recently been quite ill, a restaurant fed me something I was intolerant to despite telling them about it and I spent a while recovering from that but went to a comic con anyway over the weekend and managed to pick up a fluey type bug with some diarrhoea and lots of sneezing...which is fun...

Said somewhere else I've been having trouble with my memory, forgot my testing kit so no updates for a while. Congrats @BrianDoc This morning was a late test after some running around as I found my kit where I had left it at work. High at 7.2 but I had a very cheating meal last night as...

The good news, HbA1c is at 41 (or 5.9%) - so back to prediabetes ranges if not down in the 4s, I'll take it though, was not doing so well last year. My Monocytes are low and my Red cell distribution width is high again...not entirely sure that's too much of an issue other than I'm more liable...

Thanks, I know my brain tends to highlight the negatives so it's good to hear someone highlight that it doesn't sound like that to them :)

I'm not newly diagnosed, but I am newly going on to the NHS system where I live in Malta, with different metformin meds (slow release isn't provided free here) and the new machine is a TaiDoc TD-4285 URiGHT, their own information states they hit those levels "over 98% of the time" so I'm...

My doctor sent me a text message asking me to come and see him to discuss my blood test results. We had already talked about arranging an appointment for that so it's already concerning to have him message me and ask me to make an appointment. Though I did tell him I'd been noticing a lack of...
