as the say went "... let them eat cake!....". Eat what works for you an be damned any whispers & opinions. Remember the best way to manage a rude question at a social event is a punch in the nose (you know what i really mean, go for their jugular verbally. )

butternut squash cut into cubes with diced bell peppers and some diced onions then fried up until browned in a skillet to make a dandy alternative to diced hash browned potatoes. it can be boiled mashed up tasting better than mashed potatoes. I've not tried it yet but I'm going to use...

For 2nd time i inadvertently depressed the plunger while getting it ready to affix. I took off the guard too soon as it just pretty much fell off. This was my last sensor before new get here Monday or Tuesday. I guessed the issue was simply the needle was extended. So, why nit just manually...

great but as o mentioned i used that A1CNow kit for several yeats so i'm intimate familiar with them. You test in a fashion similar to using one of out BG meters. It takes a bit more blood. All the tools are in the kit. Results take about a minute if i recall correctly. They really are...

You might look at these A1CNOW self test kits. I used them for years but over here they break down to about $13/test and you get results in minutes. They seem to be a bit more costly for your part of the world...

Sounds good, thanks. I make very concentrated cold coffee overnight or so...about 32oz at a time. That lasts me 2-5 days. But a tasty decaf version with bubbles fir a nighttime carb craving killer, coco or as dark a dark chocolate as i can find sorta helps. BTW, I'm planning on adding the...

Hi Jack, Holy hell! Your poor hubby. All they seem to have left our is gabapentin to make him a total zombie. How great he found cannabis in forms which work for him.

thanks for the chuckle! Needed that this morning. I will look for some sort of kitchen gadget to make my own fresh. I really enjoyed them.

hahaha....

Anyone with a Soda Stream made a fizzy cold coffee drink? That's the real reason I really want one...to make a fizzy coffee, cream & coco (just coco no sugar) sweetened with stevia drink.

found thd right kit in Amazon US... A1CNow SelfCheck - Includes Analyzer and 4 Test Strips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FMLTTH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HSb6CbGEFQKGD They were under $20 when i first found them. EDIT: Oh wow, I'm done complaining about the price here. They are on UK Amazon but...

did you know Amazon sells the Bayer home A1C testing kit? I'm in the US they maybe be Rx only in the UK? The kits have 3 tests and can be a bit fiddly at first but i get great results, or did until Bayer bought the company who created them. Went up in price by a factor of around 4x..still i...

Lately I've been testing 15-25 times daily. BG level has been very dynamic in an unpredictable way.

That's interesting that your body seems to crave the diet soda more on a good low carb diet. I'm going to keep an eye on myself. I wonder... i too get a sense of being unwell plus headaches if i drink diet clear soda or a few of the sweetened flavored fizzy water options. Doesn't happen with...

when you only shop based on sale prices, at least over here, the prices are pretty much the same for name or house brand. But sans a good sale I'm on the Brand-X bandwagon too. Here prices for brand name 12-pack standard 355ml cans have reach nearly the same price point as beer. About $5.99...

YES! Nothing else seems to work for that craving. I actually like the taste of saccharine, I'm weird I know. But that's close to impossible to get. I do miss a good ol' root beer float though. I found out homestyle vanilla ice cream here has just 15g in a "scoop" so i cheat once in a great...

Had an interesting dinner. Found zucchini "noodles" with parmesan & garlic. I get tired of using cabbage to sub for pasta/rice noodles. Did a "hunter's." dinner ...hunted around the fridge for things to toss in the skillet. A bit of rhubarb chopped, diced up deli ham (our stuff here is...

i completely hear you. I went through 2x20 12oz (355ml) can pack of Coke Zero & Diet Dr. Pepper in 4 days. Was house bound resting my hip & back. I just crave the bubbles. I'm an addict. I'm sure you've read the very reasonable theory that these artificial sweeteners actually increase our...

RIGHT ON! Hugs from the US left coast. Your success is very motivating for me that i can do better, especially the carbs/day. Congratulations!

I just gave it a quick scan and I'm really intrigued by the new metics. It's about 11pm here on the west coast of US. I will make some time to play with the equations and see if i can see the logic what the values impart to aid in seeing, with greater degree of granularity, rhe importance of...
