Yes, I was told I can up my insulin for those nights I have a take away! The nearest I get to a treat is an apple [emoji4]

10 years after being diagnosed.

Ok, so I have been cutting carbs as I had an type 2 on insulin. I had a routine blood test two weeks ago about my other meds, and it appears I have high potassium levels. I have been advised to cut out a lot of the low carb snacks I using to deal with this issue. Another blood test and I now...

I can’t eat weetabix either. It spikes me badly.

My best advice is speak to your doctor. Hope you feel better soon

Fingers crossed. I can’t deal with another diet change lol. I am exhausted with it all!

I am on insulin now so I am waiting for my next Hb1AC and if it has dropped a fair bit I will try again with my glasses

It was specsavers for me too! I called them within two weeks and told them and they said I would still have to pay for the new lenses. I didn’t want to do this as I paid for reactions and other additional options. I am also going elsewhere too. Especially as I told them on the day that my eyes...

Funny enough the nurses don’t eat bananas, which like you I don’t eat lol. I do eat lots of broccoli and my snacks lately have been cheese and nuts. So I am hoping that is the case. Although I don’t know what I can easily replace these with as I am in work all day so not easy to cater for. I...

Thank you for responding. I think I do yes. I wonder if it is because I am eating more cream and cheese as when I look up about it it says stay away from dairy.

I have had this. In fact I once had two pairs of glasses based on a bad day which became unusable in 2 weeks because my eyes were better and I couldn’t see out of either pair of glasses!

I wonder if there any of the low carbers out there who after changing to a low carb diet now have high potassium? I have had a blood test and it has come back with high potassium readings. I changed my diet a lot to go as low carb as I can personally manage with my snacks being things like nuts...

If you are not on lowering meds you don’t have to.

If I get a really low reading I finger test. For example I had an warning saying in was at 3 but finger pricked and it read 5.9. I always prick now with a low reading on the Libre2 before taking action as I treated a low to find out I want low and then had a really high reading because I treated...

Thanks for the advise. I appreciate it. I have had to send back two sensors back to back through malfunction. I will intermittently finger prick as you suggest to keep track. Thanks again. X

I just had an alarm go off on my libre2 and it read 3. I have finger tested and it is in fact 5.9 so quite a difference. Is this usual please?

Alcohol can lower blood sugars, usually the day after drinking them.

Keep an eye on it but don’t forget chocolate it’s onlya quick fix if you are low. You will need something a little more substantial than that.

Is that with a Libre2 or finger prick? As I go low on Libre2 and when I test with my prick test it is usually about 2mols higher.

I want to but whey powder to make low carb pancakes but I don’t know where to start. There are so many to choose from and quite expensive so don’t want to get the wrong ones. I will be buying in Home B again. Uk. Thank you
