8.2.......:oops::eek::banghead::arghh:

It was tasty though.....

Morning all. 7.1 today but I did have a jacket potato the size of my head for dinner last night.......better low carb today I think.....

6.9 this morning. .....back in the right direction at least.

Hi lizzy, Sounds as if you are doing all the right things so well done! My hba1c was 103 in September (that's an average of around 21 I think....eek!) I had it tested again last week and it's now in a non diabetic range so just keep on doing what you're doing as it is doable. I have reduced...

7.1 this morning....boo. still better than yesterday :p

Mine was 8.3. .......A bit gutted but my hba1c result last week was 34 so I'm not too worried as long as it doesn't continue!

Thanks so much for your reply. I have changed my diet and am eating a lot less carbs......I do have weight to lose but have lost over a stone since diagnosed. I think the doctor's confused look worried me slightly! Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Hi James, Thank goodness you managed to find lots of helpful information yourself as it certainly sounds as if your nurse could've been slightly more forthcoming with information regarding diet and testing. Do you have a good supply of testing strips? I found it so helpful to test 2 hours after...

Hi all, Since being diagnosed at the end of Aug with an hba1c of 103 and high ketone levels it has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least! They originally suspected type 1 but one antibody test was negative and just waiting for the result of the 2nd one but the consultant said he now...

I would love to get involved. Newly diagnosed and I don't think many people understand how much time is spent thinking and planning around things.

5.6 this morning and I couldn't believe my eyes :)

Hi June, can I ask if you are on any tablets for diabetes or no medication at all? I feel very similar to you Tom and had a similar situation with diagnosis. I'm currently not taking any insulin or tablets but I fear it may be wishful thinking to think it was just a blip.......(I'm hoping though)

6.9 today. Happy-ish when it's under 7 but eager to get that down a bit if possible..........

Sorry all I meant was that unless you were having an ECG where they have to attach multiple wires to your chest then I have never been asked to remove my bra.

Hi, what sort of examination did the doctor perform if you don't mind me asking? If he was simply listening to your chest I am unsure why he would request for you to remove your bra and it does seem unnecessary. I am pleased to hear you haven't let it get you down but applaud you wanting answers...

Thanks so much :-)

Hi All, Just a quick query as I've been given so much information since diagnosis that it's sometimes a bit of a blur! When diagnosed, I had high levels of ketones so have been given ketostix so that I can check. My question really is do I have to check regularly or only when my BG is at a...

7.2 this morning.......humph o_O

6.6 today :-)
