Thank you PickledPepper, will read again tomorrow. (I was lucky I was supplied with optium xceed (pretty basic, but it works just fine) and presently i have lots of supply of lancets and strips, so I'm fine. I've just bought a new small notebook to write down what I eat, drink, activities etc...

Glad to hear from you PickledPepper, and the results of the experiment. I think that Frozen dishes of bitter melon (microwaved to piping hot) won't work. I'm still experimenting (i don't mind the bitter taste by now) Because my timing is still erratic (quite busy) and I keep forgetting the...

Many thanks PickledPepper, readers, I'm now used to the bitter taste, from both two types, the pale green and the jewelled green, the latter approx. 1/5th of the pale in size. Your 'when you eat it with other stuff that might push your levels up, it seems to balance it. ' has tempted me to...
