I use Tee2 system cos that is what my GP gave me and I get strips and lancets free. Luckily my diabetic nurse mandated testing for me on tablets and now I am on insulin it is imperative before taking a dose. But I am in the U.K. so rules are different here.

I would die on that diet. I could not live without beans and lentils as I eat no red meat at all and most fish. I only eat salmon and that is expensive. I can eat chicken but I get sick of it if I have it too often. Eggs and cheese allergies.

Thanks for the support. I am not specifically on a low carb diet. On top of those health conditions I have food allergies and intolerances. I am allergic to eggs and cheese gives me anaphylaxis. It makes my throat close up and burns. I have to carry an adrenaline pen, steroids and antihistamines...

My lack of sleep is a symptom of my chronic fibromyalgia with muscle spasm condition. Plus the symphysis pubis dysfunction causes stiffness and pain in my pelvis and hips when lying in bed, despite the memory foam mattress. My irritable bladder makes me get up for the toilet several times a...

Thanks I will try. My diet is very restricted. I can't eat red meat, eggs or cheese. I am deathly allergic to cheese (anaphylaxis) and eggs. So I mainly eat chicken and pulses. Most diet plans don't work for me as I can't eat most of what they tell me to. A vegan diet may be ok with a bit of...

Thanks for explaining

I was started on gliclazide 3 months ago and it is much better than Metformin for me. I still find high readings with Metformin but the gliclazide helps to lower mine. I am seeing my diabetic nurse next week after another blood test and hope she will just keep me on gliclazide.
