Hi everyone. I have gone to the homehealth to order test strips, but I cannot see where I add my discount code? It's just taken me straight to card details to fill in. Did I do something wrong?

I have my second HCA blood test coming up next week but I can't remember if I have to fast for this one? Does anyone know? My first one was back in June, so a long time to recall what I had to do. I know it's a 9 0'clock appointment, so if I do need to fast it won't be too bad. Thanks in advance

Last night, while hurriedly preparing dinner, (due to being late back from mum's) I dropped the hot pirex dish full of vegetables and it smashed to smithereens! Unbeknown to me .. a small shard of glass got into my slipper. It caused no problem, but, this morning I got up and slid on my slippers...

For the first time since diagnosis ten months ago ... my blood glucose levels have not once gone above 8 all weekend! Today was even better than yesterday, and my highest reading during the whole of the day was 7.3 My only gripe ... well there has to be one ... is that I've put on just over 4lbs...

My blood fasting readiing this morning was a little higher that usual at 6.9 ... and when I tested an hour after breakfast it was 8.3 ( my spikes are always within the first hour) So here's the thing ... if it only went up by so little, is that a good thing, or is it still too high? I realise...

This has never happened to me before, but it's almost an hour after my lunch and I've just had a reading of only 3.0 Is this something to worry about? I feel fine but this has alarmed me as I've not ever had a low reading like this! Anyone know if I should be concerned? Thank you

Hi everyone. As a newbie to the site I wish to introduce myself. I'm still coming to terms with now being a type two diabetic (shock ... horror) and have been pretty good over the last few months dietwise .. but then again I've ALWAYS eaten nuts, vegetables, fruit, plain yoghurts and a suger...
