I wipe my arm with rubbing alcohol, before sticking them on and put an adhesive patch over them. Otherwise they can easily get knocked off and at this time of year, sweat and sun cream. If the patch starts coming off, i just replace it. They never fall off

A lovely 4.7 this morning

5.1 for me

A 5.2 for me. I was low 3.7 before bed, so ate a piece of chocolate to bring it up overnight, perfect

4.7 this beautiful morning

I get quite a lot from Ocado. They do carbzone products, wraps, bread, chocolate and fitbake bread and wraps. If you search keto there’s lots of other products too. I especially like a product called nibble, which are low carb biscuit bites, soft like fudge and only 3.5 carbs a bag. They also...

5.1 for me

I was never given sick rules but actually my blood sugar doesn’t seem to be affected. Even when I was really ill with shingles, I just had to increase my basal by a couple of units.

Yes, I asked her why she hadn’t sent me to on the diet course and she said because they give all her patients the wrong information. So she’s aware of this.
