Thanks for your reply, That's my major concern, spent all this time getting to an amazing hba1c then they want to spoil it with a presentative pill

I often find eating very low/no carb after fasting can lower my sugars, if I miss breakfast and have chicken on its own for dinner it will drop my sugars

Not entirely sure of all the reasons but she said I was at risk of complications so recommended me to take them but never mentioned of the blood sugar side effects so wondered if it has raised many peoples sugars or hba1c

I'm going to insist on it, it was the pharmacist from our surgery that rang with her annual review so didn't question it until I read in to it more

Hi I've just been recommended to go on 40mg atorvastatin I'm reluctant to as my cholesterol results are from over 9 months ago when I first got diagnosed with diabetes hba1c was 86 so I started healthy eating and got down to 28 and 31 on my last 2 tests, I've seen atorvastatin can raise blood...

Drink plenty of water and exercise to get it down

My sugr app teamed with my accuchek mobile was bang on with my ha1 reading, I do test upto 10 times a day so guessing that's why it was accurate

What kind of food did they serve? I'm guessing the breakfast can't be much worse than the normal offering [emoji23]

Yeah we don't go until April, seen some pictures from a few years back where people had mainly rice, then another with boiled potatoes and mash in the same meal?! If that's the case may as well stick with a normal meal where at least you have a bit of choice

I'll be taking something on board to be safe, but if it is really a bad menu for diabetic I may as well stick to the regular meal

I've just stopped drinking for this reason tested 5.8 before I drank, had a small meal and 3 bottles of beer and it dropped to 2.8 this has happened 3 times now so have stopped drinking as the first time I woke up and was sick and blood sugar was down to 2.4

Has anyone had a diabetic meal on British airways recently, I've put down diabetic meals when we goto Orlando which will be a hot one one way and a cold one, then a hot meal and a breakfast on the way back, I've seen some reviews from over 3 years back which said they where unsuitable so wanted...
