I like to have salad but can't eat it dry and struggling to find a suitable dressing. Tried making my own but it didn't work out. I'm somewhat of a fussy eater and seem to stick to whatever is simple and quick. I think I need to broaden my options but so worried about failing.. again.. X

Thank you @lovinglife, I do test but need to do this more regularly to be honest. I've been off/on track so many times now, I'm having to relearn and research everything again. I've been sticking to below 10, some days nine at all, but have people telling me it's too low, and not sustainable...

Is the only way of knowing through finger prick testing, or is there a rough guide I can use. I've just looked at an online carb counting app, it says I should be on 9 carbs a day?? What's your opinions plz x

Ok, so trying again to get these blood sugars down and lose some weight in the process. . Going from your experience/knowledge, what's the best carb range to stick to? I want to be successful, but also need to be realistic. I'm finding myself eating the same things day in, day out... Which I...

I'd like to nominate plz. .this is based on my personal experience and who I have found to always be there and very supportive.. @KennyA @MrsA2 @Antje77 and @lovinglife. I really would have also voted for @JoKalsbeek but I can see she isn't taking nominations.. I hope I've done this right!

15.1... back again..

Wow, that's quite a jump but I would be same if I had been in remission for years I think. So essentially, it never really goes away?

I hope you get good news..keep us all updated! Good luck

Thats amazing! You have obviously worked hard and had alot of self control to gain that figure. ..I'm sorry to hear about your eyes, fingers crossed it will be good news. Sometimes, surgery is needed but hopefully your vision is improved and your news is better. Good luck! My last hba1c reading...

Hi everyone, I'm back again.. the vicious circle I can't seem to stay out I was just thinking about when I was first diagnosed and it hit me how long ago that actually was. I've been extremely lucky to not have any damage that I am aware off ( I'm sure there will be something happening I'm...

Wow, thanks you so much for your reply. Hearing about the damage its caused for you has hit hone for me. Sorry this has happened to you. My bloods are in the high alot of time..but i stupidly feel like because I've no symptoms it's not really there or affecting me, so your story has brought the...

@Irishmist66 we are in the same boat, but we can do it.. keep paddling till we hit better health! Good luck! X

Thanks everyone Feeling a lot of guilt at the moment, for not getting myself put of this mess by now..I know it's a marathon though, will stick with it. My bloods this morning we're 14.2, not great at all but tbh I expected much worse. Taken my gliclazide, and had some scrambled egg. Definitely...

Hi guys, so yet again I fell of the wagon completely. I have been for a substantial amount of time now.. Ashamed to say no control of diet, no testing and no medication taken as should. [emoji3525][emoji3525][emoji3525] had a few things going on, but in all honesty, it's just laziness and not...

Hi everyone, it's been a roller coaster few weeks for me. Ranging from gas leaks, carbon monoxide leaks, family issues and health diagnosis changes. I've been on and off the wagon more times than I can count! But I'm done with the excuses, and back on track from the morning. . Posting on here...

Are you feeling any better? I've been referred for this, would love to hear more on how it works/your experience please x

Sorry, busy morning. I ended up sleeping on a 4.6. Not great but was exhausted. Readings a bit better this morning. 5.2 on waking. Thank you

Thank you for moving this post for me! I'm keeping a close eye on bloods tonight as dropping quickly. We are now at 4.1 . I have been unwell this week so I don't know if I would even recognise the symptoms for a hypo, (between a hypo and illness) and it's the first time I've ever been this low.

That would be great if possible! I don't want ppl to have to read through unrelated comments on someone else's post. Thanks [emoji4]

Thank you. Yes I test most meals a day unless I already know it's something that won't really affect my bloods. Can I just ask another quick question. Now I'm on gliclazide twice daily, my bloods are vastly improving. I'm not there yet, but wondering what number to keep an eye on for hypo risk...
