4.7 this morning. Hmmm 4.9 yeasterday morning. I hope that it is not a downward trend.

No, not from time to time. All the time! Since I was about 15 years old (68 now). I have found no cure. The doctors have no clue. If anyone has a cure please let me know.

I find cooked prawns very helpful. I quite often have a prawn salad for my lunch.

4.9 It took several attempts to get any blood at all. Hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to put the lancet setting to 5. Usually 3 will do. Even then it was like drawing blood from a stone. Do any of you struggle to get blood in the mornings. If so what do you do about it.

5.1 here. New lancet type is fine. Fighting excel VBA to produce my December report. I'm winning though.

Its not a big issue, I was just trying to see if a different lancet type might be better. Yup i use different fingers, different sides, some are more sensitive tjan others

Hmm now that is interesting. Different lancing devices may operate differently. Sounds daft but it is very relevant. All they have to do is move foward and backward with a lancet very quickly. But then there is the sideways motion, vibration, impact speed, retraction speed to consider too. I...

5.6 Slightly Higher than my usual fasting result

And as a follow on can anyone recommend a really good lancet device that takes universal lancets? The one that came with the Tee 2+ kit is good. Just looking ahead in case it breaks.

Yup just the sides. I could be wrong and maybe the new lancet type I tried is no better than any other except they do seem better made. I mean the pain is not severe but I would prefer less if possible (without paying too much) I just thought that the info might be useful to someone.

Ok I'm fairly new to all this and the prospect of pricking a finger several times a day, and the associated slight pain, is not something that I relish. I have spent the last 2 months jabbing holes in my fingers... I have been trying different lancets, mostly 28G general ones. Generic...

I put this in the non chatty forum by mistake. I excpect to be burned at the stake shortly. 5.1 again here. Been out to buy some strawberries from Sainsburys. I don't know what it is about their new type of strawberries, but they are delicious. They don't look ripe with their white tops but...

5.1 again here. Edited by mod to remove excessive chat.

Oh no, another dumped and given terrible advice by the NHS. Same story here. I understand the stress and upset you are going through. But once you take control and start to understand what you need to do it will all become a lot easier. Advice on these forums is excellent as is the support...

5.1 this morning. Happy new year everyone.

Just cooked and eaten the mixed grill, minus the potatoes but plus some mushrooms. My it was good. Thats it for new year celebrations

Oh my goodness. I had never before realised that there is so much nonsense believed and said about our health and medicines. I always thought that doctors knew best and that all medicines were good. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Statins, it seems, are a good example of this according to the videos...

Today, being new years eve, I am splashing out on a light mixed grill. 19.5g carbs in total and that includes a small amount of potato (I may dump the potato as that is responsible for 17g of carbs alone!). Its quite tricky juggling foods to get the nuitrition and barb balance to a reasonable...

Good morning. Its a 5.2 from me at 6am. Up at 5am but feeling a bit tired this morning. It's new years eve. Happy new year everyone. I hope your 2021 is a good year

Sorted that. I meant carbs as I am sure you all figured out. The trouble with getting a new tablet is that you have to set all sorts of stuff up that you're bound to have forgotten how, or they've move 5he selection to somewhere new and obscure. Great tablet though. Great screen, great sound.
