No I haven’t been told it is due this this. Things are trying to be eliminated the diabetes being one.

Has anyone experienced low platelets caused by their diabetes?

@JoKalbeek Thank you so much for all the advice and explanations, I seem to have my BG under better control now 6-9. Wouldn’t have done this without you [emoji4]

@xfieldok thank you! @JoKalsbeck I eat cheese too.

@JoKalsbeek oh and no I’m not on the steroids at the moment. I also don’t like the texture of milk so I have a tiny drop of skimmed in my tea, if having a rare cereal (like today) it’s skimmed milk also. I the idea of a coffee with full fat cream as don’t like it with milk, I remember doing...

@JoKalsbeek thanks fir the links. Haha no fat shaming taken! Along with the foods I’ve already mentioned, it’s an odd pizza or oven chips which I wont be having now! The fish is fresh ie the salmon, tuna, mackerel etc maybe once a fortnight a fish in breadcrumbs but again not any more. 2 rich...

@JoKalsbeek my weight is so, so I’m not considered obese but on the overweight bit of the nhs graph (god knows how now). To be fair I put on weight due to chemo & steroids but lost 2 stone on the chemo that I am on now. Yes that’s the sort of stuff I eat generally, tuna, salmon, mackerel, veg...

Hi Jo thank you for your reply. I was reading about T3C and if I ever get to speak to someone I will discuss this! I’m so stuck, I’ve used the new meter all day today my readings are all over the place. I’ve downloaded and connected to the accu app which records my readings, I have absolutely...

Thank you for your quick reply! No I am not on any steroids.

I was diagnosed with type2 in March it’s thought this is a result of having had acute pancreatitis caused by a medication I was taking. I also have cancer. On being diagnosed I was given a px for Metformin 500mg 1 tab twice a day. Initially the nurse didn’t feel I needed a test meter but then...
