It would appear my NHS GP Surgery is moving towards full-on pay to use. I’m wondering when my T2 treatments will become part of that list too?Anybody else become or becoming aware of this and potential personal MedCare costs?

Yes, no . . . Thoughts and personal experience - please.

Expensive, but yummy! This has quickly become my, so far safe, guilty pleasure. I'm adoring them. Here's the Science - and yes, I'm watching my numbers:

Well, here’s the thing: having now compressed my HBA1C down from 89 to 46 - YAY! - with Metformin and HFLC diet, my Cholesterol numbers are requiring my DR to call me tomorrow- BOO!! What’s a guy gotta do?

What’s the ongoing costs of this system? Do I purchase one set and that’s it? The information on it says wear it up to a fortnight? What happens after that? Do I need to purchase another free style libre 2 system? TIA - E

Hello - I just thought of this wrinkle: How do I take Metformin whilst on an extended Fast? This is a short fast, 18 hours, so would be I counter the fast? And with what? I’m drinking water and white coffee. All advice and alternatives gratefully received. :)

I’m starting to get to understand yet another wrinkle on these evidenced-base results. And this time around it is to do with the above. OK, and after a rested sleep: Overnight Fasting & PreBreakfast = 6.4 I ate breakfast. I waited for 3 hours and 45 minutes and then tested again = 8.5 Q1 -...

Yeah, ok, a Tad Dramatic . . . But you're reading this now. ;) I'm on 2mg of Metformin/day. After 15 months I've knocked back my 18bg fasting to this, seemingly, stationery, stuck, endless series of the Sticky-Sixes. Am I to remain here? I've read that people here do harsh and but attainable...

I’ve been anxious all day: 7.4 @ 6am 7.7 @ 9am 7.7 @ 2pm 5.8 @ 4pm Amazing how that last figure has changed my “mood”, almost joyous. Do others get that emotional lift?

(I luv it....) I now possess TWO meters and therefore have the retentive opportunity to test one against the other. Both AgaMatrix Meters. Just so you know, Meter 1 is Bluetooth and Meter 2 is not Bluetooth. Oh joy! I carried out my tests within five seconds of each. The blood came from the...

OK, since Sept19 I’ve been using the non-Bluetooth Meter. Transferring manually number into a SS. I wasn’t even aware I could USB Data from my existing Meter - ugh... Now, those that Data transfer to a Device, have you any Tips ‘n Tricks in dealing with the Data in another Platform?

I’ve been successfully reducing my BG fasting morning number from 18 down to between 6<>7 . OK, I’ve called this range the Sticky-Sixes, is there a Study that can indicate just what might be happening to my body, good or bad, at remaining within these ranges?

And more specifically, COVID19.

10.8 @ 10am ...... 4.3 @ 1pm waaahhh. Has anybody else had this 6 point swing over 3 hours? Take care everybody - E

10 point downward Trend in 12 days! Sure, I realise this is a BG Trend, and that the the over-arching HBA1C is the long term, Gold Standard, but here is evidenced based proof that I appear to be arriving at some type of liveable, sustainable food and medication regimen. I wanted to share this...

I gave myself a really messed-up day yesterday. This resulted in me missing taking my Metformin and, whilst not eating, in a 18 hour fast. I did a test during this and I was 8.1. So, during an insomniac, restless night: 3:18 ≈ 7.3 6:16 ≈ 9.0 8:35 ≈ 8.2 Ouch! I didn’t eat because there hadn’t...

Radishes + Hard Boiled Eggs with a Dusting of SMOKED Paprika + Pickled Herring + Cauliflower.

HbA1c level - IFCC standardised September 2019 - 89 January 2020 - 52 Plasma fasting glucose level September 2019 - 14.2 January 2019 - 7.2 Wow! I did NOT expect to be that successful. Quite an achievement. I realize testing at home etc, isn't as accurate as of the Official Blood Test, but...

Howdy Pardners! Been searching high and low, any recommendations? Just seen Humous is 60%! I’ve downloaded and hurriedly deleted ones that want to sign me up for this or that; be part of my FaceBook identity; be part of my Twitter account; take me out for Lunch or generally nose about my...

So, this morning’s foray into the Wacky World of “Pricks ‘n Sticks” 3:00 > 7.7 4:59 > 6.7 Left Hand 5:00 > 7.1 Right Hand OK, and seriously, what I’m getting from ALL this is that my Early Morning DP appears to be being “depressed” progressively each and every day. This is a good thing. Back...
