Might try that[emoji1]

Thanks couldn't see any reason for the suggestion and was a bit thrown when the nurse suggested it today. Guess I will keep doing what I am doing and see what happens. She wants to see me in 6 months

Hi Diagnosed 12 months ago with hba1c of 98. Today told it is 36 and told not to let it get any lower! Not in any meds- dsn doesn't believe my diabetes could have been temporary although the doctor last year said that it was likely to have been steroid induced and that it may revert to normal...

You could also try Cloud bread, or Lidl high protein roll

Tried these rolls for the first time today. Taste good even if they are a strange purple inside. Thanks for suggesting them ellagy

Thanks oats seem to be fine but most bread is out. Lidl roll occasionally as a treat.

Thanks I have a codefree and will take an old empty container for strips as suggested above. In schools much of the time and don't really want to put the strips in a bin kids might go near.

Hi, Started testing myself last week and it seems to be going ok. On holiday at present but going back to work in ten days. How do peopke dispose of their used strips and lancets, if changed, when out and about or at work? Bought meter and strips myself so at present strips go in bin at home and...

6.0 to days in a row. Don't think I had enough liquid yesterday.

6.0 this morning, but I did have a cereal bar yesterday evening.

I only got mine yesterday and the instructions said for normal fingers, not too calluses to set at about 3, so that is what I did. Seems to be OK for me.
