ok thanks, that makes sense. The Gluco was a gift (yes, a weird one!) I already had a Tee2, was just curious. Thanks again.

Morning, Last night around 10.40pm I pricked my finger and tested on my Tee2 Glucose Monitor, the reading was 7.6 20 Seconds later I did the same on my GlucoNavii one, it was 9.6! Is this such a normal discrepancy, or should I go with an average 8.6? My Tee2 test solution has expired so will...

Thanks for your replies (earlier on), I've been fine, except today I had a roulade! 58g/48g (Carbs/Sugar!) My blood suagar was 9.2, 2 hours later, I will be skipping dessert tomorrow!

I've been fine all year since diagnosis, however for a few days last week and this, I have basically been very naughty. Just eating a few biscuits/cakes/mince pies at work here and there and now I feel awful. I am peeing more often and my groin aches, these are exactly the symptoms I had just...

Just had my second HbA1c test since diagnosis. It's gone up to.... 39 from 38! It was 73 on diagnosis. However this could be down to the following: - A few beers during the world cup. - A few ice creams and french baguettes on holiday in France. - I was on antibiotics for a week last month...

Thanks Rachox, looking at your signature, well done to you too !

Thanks for your kind comments, lets hope I can keep this up! Hopefully I can pack in the metformin too. Seeing my GP next week, glad I didn't follow any of the dietary advice she handed out on initial diagnosis! :)

Edit: I stopped taking my Metformin (2x 1000mg daily) about a month ago due to complications.

I did for 12 hours, not 14 as suggested though .

Feb 18: HbA1c : 73 Weight: 98kg May 18: HbA1c : 38 Weight: 87kg !!! I must say I am chuffed and I know it could be better as probably had few too many beers and carbs on holiday in April [emoji1] . However I think my cholesterol may need improving , results attached .

I found it in Asda yesterday, it tastes sort of similar to the Lidl rolls. I had one slice with no ill effects. There are five "slices" in the 250g ack, so each slice is 50g, so just halve the 100g nutritional value. So just under 4g of carbs per slice.

A few roast potatoes in a roast dinner didnt spike my levels, however a load of mash did.

Let me know what you think of the Cisk! It tasted like water to me, plus I am half Maltese and much prefer the "normal" Cisk! In response to your original question, when I go out I have 1 or 2 beers (max) then switch to red wine and/or spirits and diet mixer. However watch out with certain...

I bought some Coconut Flour to try a few recipes, however I thought I would try and replicate a cake, swapping normal flour for Coconut flour (albeit less) , and sugar with Xyliltol (half the amount), 2 eggs and some rasberries. The mixture was a lot less than I expected, hence it isn't very...

Yes, I found out that out aboout Fever Tree tonic water too, luckily I only had one. Schweppes is 0g carbs/sugar. More "trendy" pubs tends to serve Fever Tree and Wetherspoons! Fever Tree Tonic Naturally Light: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/289287373 Typical Values Per...

As its almost Easter, i decided to treat myself today... I had a cheese straw at 7.30am, at 9.30am my reading was 8.8!! Normally it's rarely above 6. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/267235388 Carbs/Sugar/per serving: 30.26g/4.39g Then at 11.30am I had a small chocolate...

I do exercise, swimming 3/4 times a week and walking part of the way to work. I was basically saying I was replacing sugary biscuits etc with cheese!

Thanks, I just need to stop bingeing at weekends.

Since being diagnosed a few weeks ago and going all low carb, I now realise I have replaced the usual biscuits and general carb rubbish I was binge eating with cheese and meats. Yesterday I had basically a whole pack of Stilton cheese, and the day before a whole packet of continental meats in...

Sorry, I've updated it. I don't know where the insulin reference comes from .
