In Diabetic terms, 'normal' means you're doing everything right - keep up the good work...

I have no idea what the game is called, but remember playing it at brownies and guides and more recently at a hen party & have to admit it works really well as an adults game too. Think you'll know it as I attempt to explain it. You will need - 2 Dice, Fork & knife, chopping board, large bar...

Good luck. Coming into summer does make it that bit easier - winter is the worst time for the evening comfort eating!

Have a look at diabeticjewellery.co.uk for something slightly more fun/less official You can buy the ones in stock or have them made to your spec.

You could do a test before proposed snack? If its below 7, then take a 1-2cp snack, in not trust your BG level and the dose you took earlier. I LOVE food, skipping evening snacking has been like losing a pet, all over again - but I am so happy I did.

If your bedtime reading is the same as the morning reading then it means your basal is correct & your bolus has stopped working for the night. I would take a correction dose if my BG is high, but i've been doing this for years now and know if my bolus has stopped working - I find mine can go on...

If you are going to bed with sugars in the high teens, what are they the next morning? Is this every night or when you eat certain things? How soon after your meal is the 'bedtime' test? Have you attempted to calculate your snacks (after the fact) & inject the appropriate amount along with your...

The iPhone 4S, with iBGSTAR attached in a smart case from Canada. No need to disconnect for charging, you can do it all via the mini USB cable thru a small hole in the bottom of the case - it charges the meter & the phone. Having everything together like this does make it easier to manage for...

You will not know yourself when you get the case! I'll try and upload a pic later, it does really look the part too.

Link:- http://starsystem.sanofi.ca/products/ibgstar-case-iphone It was a complete **** to get! They ONLY sell it in Canada and will not ship out of Canada. They will not take extra money or ANYTHING to ship the item out of Canada... Crazy! I am going to order a new 4S case between now &...

I love my iBGSTAR and have it attached to my iphone and use the software. I got a case from Canada which makes it very neat & 1 unit, so it is always to hand. Every 2 weeks I send the reading by e-mail to my DSN and its all too easy. Is anyone using it with a 3GS btw?

Thats why you have to go to see the doctor/DSN. As soon as you can.

Infection can make your sugars go up, of course. Bring proper notes into clinic with you, it wouldn't be fair to give you advice on here and not know your medical history or what else is going on - but 2 hours after meal may not be enough time for you to level off again - I know some meals...

How soon after your evening meal are you getting that reading, because you need to consider all those things as factors & be armed with the info when you go into the gp/nurse. My first symptom was being very very tired, I was coming home from school & going straight to bed, that combined with...

The Glucophage are slow release metformin & can be kinder on the tummy. But if you are very tired, that's symptomatic of diabetes so you need to tell your nurse this. Are you getting the high readings 1st thing in the morning? I've always taken supplements, but ask your GP as we are all...

Use what you picked up on the course to adjust your doses accordingly. It does take time, but feels good when you get the control! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ive been told by pre-pregnancy that they want to see 6.5 or less as a Hba1c - also that it's not about how many carbs, but which carbs & getting the ratios for each meal spot on. In the morning I'm on 3units to every 10g, but my evening meal is half that 1.5u. So test before & 2 & 4 hours after...

The test solution which comes with your meter should be able to tell you if the meter is calibrated right. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
