    4 different values taking 4 blood glucose readings in a row?

    Hi, I was only diagnosed 2 months ago. I have an old meter from when I had pre-diabetes a year-and-a-half ago. The strips are 6 months out of date but I opened up a new package and tried to take a reading. I did eat something I probably shouldn't have which is fried plantains and I was...

    Type 2 Will I be able to stay off the medications if my carbs are 75 to 100 per day?

    How were the potatoes cooked the first time? I have had potato skins with bacon, cheese and sour cream and that works, I assume this is because there isn't much potato left and there is a lot of fiber plus the added protein and fat.

    I do also enjoy epic foods such as Thai foods and curries from India and that helps. I'm buying many many cans of coconut milk that's for sure

    Type 2 Will I be able to stay off the medications if my carbs are 75 to 100 per day?

    I love meat, cheese eggs and I like salad which is what this ends up coming down to. I do miss Mexican, and potatoes. I feel stifled knowing that my diet is down to the meat group, fats and above-the-ground vegetables. If every single meal is just based on that and the fact that I have to...

    Type 2 Will I be able to stay off the medications if my carbs are 75 to 100 per day?

    I just love your food diary! That is the kind of food that I have been eating. What I need to do is get back into a regular exercise routine. I just can't stand the lack of variety on a very strict LCHF diet. It triggers kind of panic and depression in me sometimes. I like a lot of ethnic...

    Constant cough

    I also had a constant cough which I thought was due to the flu but that didn't go away for weeks after. I just got diagnosed with type 2 a month ago and I was about to go back to the doctor's about this cough but it seems to have disappeared. I am getting my blood sugar under control by using a...

    How to clean lancet device?

    Thanks! When I first started using the multiclix, I came close to ordering these crazy expensive wipes, but I couldn't afford the $60 and it gave me pause to think. It's bad enough that the strips are only partially covered and everything else is out of pocket (I live in Canada).

    How to clean lancet device?

    Hi, I'm new to this. Diagnosed with Diabetes 2 a month ago. The instructions on my new multiclix device say to clean weekly with these expensive soft cloths you have to order online. As far as I can see they do contain alcohol. From the reviews I see these wipes are said to be quite dry. Is...
