Brilliant, thank you!

Thanks Jim, what do you suggest instead? TIA

It's good to hear that the insulin isn't as bad as you'd think - I'm still nervous but feeling a little bit more confident about Monday now - so thank you. I too am struggling with levels in the morning - last night I had the lowest reading I have had so far of 12.2 - this morning I have woken...

16.8 today after my lowest BG last night of 12.2...

Wow - thank you so much for all of this info! I will try out some of your tips. Thank you :)

That's what I was thinking, at least I can take that along with my blood sugar readings as they may be able to pick out the patterns more than me at my appointment on Monday

currently I'm only drinking water or slimline sodas. But no all sugar is bad, fruit and veg is still recommended as far as everything I have read says...

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. That sounds awful- I hope you are okay now? It really does - but it's nice to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel

Haha thank you so much, this place is a God send isn't it?! It's so nice to know I'm not being unreasonable and that everyone feels frustrated at this point. x

I think I had both of the tests done on Monday and have another appointment this coming Monday. They seem to have fast tracked me as my levels were so high - I went to the doctors because since quitting smoking I couldn't get off the toilet weirdly - so I had tests for everything my doctor could...

Oh it's so nice to 'meet' someone in the same boat! When do your test results come back? What were your glucose readings on diagnosis?

Thanks so much, I will check it out!

Fingers crossed for type 2 - insulin scares the heck out of me...

I was 18.3 last night before tea too so don't think it's the strips :(

I've been eating lots of eggs and as much meat as I can afford. I used to eat a mostly vegetarian diet focused around pasta as I can't afford to eat meat all of the time... I didn't realise cheese was good - I love cheese! Does the fat in cheese not matter? I'm allergic to nuts so can't go for...

Hi. I've been finding these forums very useful since my initial diagnosis of diabetes in the past week, so thanks everyone. As yet I'm still unsure of whether T1 or T2 - I will find out on Monday. However since researching food and what I was eating my diet was awful - pretty much all carbs and...

Phew, glad you agree what I'm doing is right. I'm trying not to change my diet too much but cutting down on carbs and eating no added sugar. Just being healthier to see if I can kick start me feeling better. Woke up this morning with an 18.1 reading though, so feeling incredibly down in the...

Absolutely gutted, meter reading this morning 18.1. No added sugar and only 120g of carbs yesterday which is half what I used to eat. I know some on here suggest only 20g of carbs but I have been advised not to drastically change diet before knowing whether T1 or T2.

I'm still holding out hope for T2 - in denial I think... Thanks for the welcome!
