Apologies if anyone has mentioned this earlier, but I find the FitnessPal app a great way of keeping track of everything I eat. Might be worth checking out how much muscle you have gained recently; I also keep a photo of a comparison between identical weight Fat and Muscle on my iPhone. Good luck.

4.6 at 8:00am. Feeling encouraged, the Low Carb regime is working! Thank goodness for this gem of a website!!

Good Morning. 4.2. Yesterday was a Low Carb day.

Good Morning. Mine was 7.7

Hi Seagal75, I'm newly diagnosed T2 too, and after the initial shock, started researching big time, mainly because I came out of the Surgery without any real help. The conflicting advice online was mind boggling, in the end I concentrated on this fantastic website and bought Gretchen Becker's...

7.1 at 6:30...... When I managed to eventually give up some blood, five tries later. I am new to this....

I've been using Fitness Pal since diagnosis, highly recommend it. So, that's a habit in my daily routine. As suggested, I will also keep a BG levels diary and it is reassuring to know this will highlight the best foods for me to scoff, I mean eat. In hindsight, I've not been eating enough fats...

Good analogy, Resurgam. I am starting Testing this morning!!!

Oh yes, I've researched till I'm blue in the face. I've had other Steroids side effects, two Cataract surgeries. After the Fasting Blood Test, it appears it wasn't temporary, and I now recognise earlier diabetic symptoms during previous Steroid Courses. Thank you again, much appreciated.

Thank you Pleinster for all your advice, and what an ordeal you have been through. I do hope you are as well as can be. I take Steroid tablets 40mgs for 7 days maybe four times a year, plus a Steroid inhaler daily, plus other asthma medication. The steroid tablets and inhalers have been part...

Thank you Daibell. I can see the need for a monitor to record my blood sugar levels. I'm not due to see the Diabetic Nurse until July, but will request a print out of my test results.

Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 a fortnight ago, after developing Diabetic symptoms when taking Prednisone for a Respiratory Infection. The Fasting Blood Test result were Average Glucose 11:8 and HbA1c 92. The Diabetic Nurse was almost as shocked as I was. I had 9 Blood...
