Good afternoon 6.5 for me this morning

6.8 for me this morning

Hi, May I suggest a cheaper meter for you which is the SD Codefree. The strips are currently just over £7 for 50. You can purchase both the meter and strips from the homehealth UK website. Hope this helps..

I think religiously eating to my meter every day takes a lot of self discipline which I have taken some time to get used to. I don’t think anyone really likes to be restricted. But, however, once I got into the swing of it I now feel like it’s second nature to me. I really don’t think diabetes...

This is a good question... well for me I always thought that ole chestnut- ‘it would never happen to me’. I dont drink or smoke so food was the only thing left in my life that was a pleasure to me as it were. I think a couple of years ago I was pre- warned by a GP that I was pre- diabetic but...

Hi Alison, Thankyou so much for taking the time to post the above link. I will certainly look into this.. Perfumeflower53 x

Thankyou so much Alexandra, you and everyone so far has reassured me. I just don’t know what else to say, other than thankyou for all your support. It’s funny how we are all essentially strangers but it’s so nice to read and be given so much support and advice on here. We all have one thing...

Hi DCUK, Oh now this is interesting, I think I may of heard something about this before. I just bought one of those cheap run of the mill wrist monitors from amazon lol but not quite sure how accurate it is to be honest. You could be right there. Might have to invest a bit more money in one...

Where to start, I could write a book Lol. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2016 which involves having pain and aches from the 18 tender points, chronic fatigue, depression and anxiety for which I am currently taking medication for. Osteoarthritis in my hips and ankles. And of course...

Hi grannygrump, I can only echo what I said to Rachox, your personal situation is so reassuring. You have done so remarkably well. I do intend to stay with low carbing and I know this sounds a bit daft I am actually enjoying learning all about real food on this site and the diet doctor site...

Hi Rachox, Gosh, that’s fantastic. This is so reassuring after reading your post. Thankyou so much. I just want to say well done to you for hard work. I know it most probably wasn’t easy, but your perseverance has paid off immensely. I think because I have been constantly worrying myself...

Hi sunnybouy, Do you mean they are not out of control? Or out of control. I’m 53.

Hi ickihun, Yes I have been incredibly stressed and short tempered due to the aforementioned circumstances above. But to give you an example of my readings taken this evening just sitting on the sofa (I have a wrist monitor) it was 203/103. This reading indicates serious hypertension so that’s...

Hi granny grump Thank you for your response and sending warm hugs to you.. If I may ask did you also have high blood pressure and if so can you reduce it just by low carbing, losing weight etc?

Hi, I am relatively a new member who has in principle been diagnosed with T2. I have quite high blood pressure. Is this caused by having diabetes? To make things complicated I also have other conditions which overall has effected my health to go down like a led balloon. I have Fibromyalgia...

Hi, On the subject of butter, can I ask which is the best butter to eat in terms of being a diabetic? There are so many butters on the market in the UK and it’s a bit of a minefield. I haven’t tried Kerrygold as of yet but I will aim to try some at some point after reading the great reviews...

Hi, When I am prompted to type in my email address and then click on the ‘get now’ tab in the above link it just directs me to my profile page. Same thing happened to archersuz. I was trying to download the blood sugar level charts. As far as I know I followed the prompts correctly but that...

Yes this is exactly what kept happening to me! Kind Regards Perfumeflower53
