I usually try to get the appointment for my day off (I'm on a rotating shift pattern, so no week the same). Or tpwards the end of my shift so that I don't have to miss too much work. If they were to complain I would tell them to add up the unofficial smoking breaks the smokers take! In a week...

I live in Orkney and don't get any test strips "because they will damage my fingers", according to the practice nurse. A doctor told me that testing 3 monthly is best and to follow her example of control by diet - she's built like a side of a house! So obviously her diet isn't working at all...

I have always thought that lard especially was not good for cholesterol? Butter too, although better for you than synthetic margarines. I do use olive or rapeseed oil all of the time

So the foods that the practice nurse said I COULD eat are banned - jacket potatoes (as long as I eat the skin she said), wholegrain rice(good she said), porridge for breakfast(slow release enargy, good for me?), home-made soup made from tatties (potatoes to you posh folk :lol: ) no-no. Sweet...

I've got an accu-chek and will start testing again properly tomorrow. We had a family birthday meal at an italian restaurant today, along with birthday cake, so not a good start to my new way of eating! But the practice nurse gave me the go-ahead for enjoying myself! I tested 2 hrs after the...

The Dr won't let me have them on the nhs, she says I have to "follow a low GI diet like I do, I'm type 2 diabetic. Then get tested every 3 months". Well she's very very overweight, so the low GI diet isn't helping her! :roll: I was really angry as how do I know what is making my sugar levels...

I applied for this a while back and put the password and log-in address away and totally forgot about it. So looked tonight. It certainly makes you (meaning me) think when the results are in black and white. My latest results are not on it yet, so will get them from the nurse tomorrow...

Hi, I hope you can answer some questions before I go and get a telling off from the practice nurse tomorrow..... Typical day: Start work at 7am: breakfast at 6.15am: Porridge with 8 raspberries (very bad but I rarely have a drink with my breakfast). Teabreak 9.30am: some fruit (a few...
