I have high blood pressure and on tablets. I bought a monitor so i can check at home as i seem higjer at the doctors. That way i can compare before and after a checkup

I found it interesting. The results surprised me. The biggest spike in 3 days of using it, Kellogs Bran Flakes was the worst. It went up to 10.1. As a contrast, i had 7 bottles of Efes pilsner. I didn't go over 8.5, so was very surprised. I tried to get it to spike higher, but i gave up. From...

I found it thanks. I rang them up. I had the wrong app version

Thanks. The has explained it so much better. As you said, there is so much disinformation, it is hard to know what is what. I remember in the 80`s that diabetes was no problem as Holsten Pils had you covered as there was no sugar. Good times to be a diabetic then :) . Obviousy now we know it is...

Ahh.thank you. I was under the impression that i had no- to low insulin. I assume that is why a prediabetic can control it easier than a T1 with diet, as we have it, but need to sort of tell it to work with low sugar, glucose? I aalso ssume a prediabetic is basically T2, but caught in time to...

Yes, Greggs was a waste of time to be honest, but as i said, i was just interested in how it would affect me. I never tested the beer. The noodles i had started rising to 8.5 about 45 minutes after i thought it had peaked, as it went down, then back up. It was too late for me too test. Yes, i...

I am new to this as well, so i am not sure. The app is set between 3.9 and 14 mmol , and warns me if too high or low. It was set at that by dexcom, although i think i can change it. I assumed they are acceptable ranges? I had black bean stir fry with noodles. I was at 4.2, And went to 6.1 ...

I thought you were going to say a free trial with Abbotts Ale at first. I would be up for that

I walked into town. For a bit of research, i had a Greggs sausage roll. I was 4.9 before i ate. It went to 6.9 and within 2 hours it was steadily climbing down to 5.5. 3 hours later i am at 5. I realise that Greggs is a bit of a waste, as there is little nutrition and not the best use of carbs...

A bit of a self congratulory title . I meant i think the rrading is good

I got my warning of prediabetes on 10th January at 44mmol. I was 16 stone, now down to 14 stone 7 lbs. I just recieved a 10 day trial from Dexcom. My reading is 6.1 mmol, so i think that is on a good range. Thanks to this forum i have learned so much. I am looking forward to see what spikes i...

I got my Dexcom, but can't find a serial number. Is it on a printed label, as it looks like it 0n the site? If so it is missing

Wow, that is a lot of miles. Iwalk a lot up and down stairs to sort machinery out, so probably walk a fair few miles , but short bursts.

I just took delivery of a free 10 day supply of Dexcom. I will start using it tomorrow. The rugby is on, so i know i will fail badly. I will find out how it will be tomorrow. I have no problem eating ice cream as i have worked for Wall's for 38 years. I am sick of the sight of it now

I try to go for at least a 5 mile walk once a week. I sometimes pass a pub . If i was to go into a pub and have some food, like pie and chips as i love a pie. Now if i still have a minimum 3 miles to walk, would i be able to have something on that line of food. Will i burn off the energy or am...

My free trial is supposed to come Monday

One thing i do know, eating healthy foods is harder and more expensive than the stuff i used to eat. Come home from work, open the freezer,into the air fryer and 15 minutes it is tea. Planning seems to the key

I just found out celeriac is a good alternative to potato, so yes, very much learning

I have to say, i was expecting to be told it was no good as it tastes nice. Wasn't ecpecting recipes for it

That sounds like a good idea
