Hi. I think the CGM and finger prick method measure blood glucose in slightly different ways. The CGM runs up to 15 minutes behind the finger prick reading so it probably accounts for the difference. They are fairly accurate but do advise you to double check reading with finger prick if feeling...

Thanks Antje77. I will get some ketone tests to check this as I haven't so far and will ask about a c peptide test. Definitely not had that mentioned to me yet.

Thanks! That's one of the dogs that keeps me active! Doctor has done tests on heart and thyroid but nothing on types of diabetes. Should I maybe ask if numbers stay at 10-12? I had some trouble getting taken seriously as initially may hba1c had only risen from 42 to 52 and they were quite happy...

Yes I was still low carb. I thought at first it was carb creep so I tried to be more careful, but it seems once its high it just won't come back down on own. I had eliminated bread, pasta, rice etc tho have reintroduced small portions of wholegrain pasta/ bread now that I'm on dapagliflozin.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew how low carb is safe on dapagliflozin? I've recently had this added to my regime after diet and metaformin appear to have stopped working and readings had spiralled back to late teens/20.Rapid weight loss/ constant thirst were all back too. Leaflet for...

I've found sukrin gold good. Doesn't have the weird after taste some do. Seems to be stevia based.

That's amazing! Well done you!

Hi Lotuslight. What's been said above is quite right and probably best way to go. If however like me you aren't quite ready for that yet look at something like Nicks bars or Misfits. Like all keto friendly things they are expensive for what they are so maybe long term that will help us want to...

Hi. I'm still fairly new to this and experimenting. I too am a snacker so have tried baking keto scones/ carrot cake etc from recipes on Internet. They help and there is plenty out there. I've also tried Nicks bars. I buy off Internet but some shops are starting to carry them. Not cheap but they...

I'm sorry to hear you have been unwell. Good luck with your tests. Hopefully they get to the bottom of it soon and get you feeling better in no time. Keep us posted!

Thanks everyone for the kind replies and helpful suggestions! I'll give them all a try!

Hello everyone. I was diagnosed back in middle of July with a Hba1c of 127. The DN put me on gliclazide to bring it down fast and then gradually swapped it out for metformin. I now take 2 metformin in the morning and 2 at night. My DN was great and directed me to this forum where I saw the...

Hello. I use Wholesome Yum online quite a lot. She has a baking book out that gets great reviews. Most of what I've tried online has worked well. She is Canadian I think but online she has a button for metric conversion which saves me going line by line with my calculator! I would guess she has...

I got some Olinas Bakehouse seed crackers online. They are really nice and really low carb. Might help fill the gap till M&S ones return!
