Thanks for your answer, I picked up the chocolate one, I also have tried the bars in the past, they are much cheaper out here :)

Hi there, Anyone on the forum can give me some advice on the Atkins milk shakes, I am on holiday in USA, moving around quite a bit, I've come across the shakes and wondered if it ok to drink them, sometimes I'm in the car for a few hours, and it can be a while before I get to...

Thanks a lot for the advice, will do.

Advice please, had a few glasses of champagne, celebration, I don't usually drink!!!, anyway just tested, and my BS is 15, yikes, I haven't eaten, so I wondered if I can do a correction dose to bring it back down, would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks Catherinecherub, for the link, I also wondered what the abbreviations meant, I've just taken a photo, so now I can refer to the Imformation when needed, this Forum, is a Gem.

Hey Riri, I had to smile when I read your comment, like you I used to worry about taking my insulin, (Novarapid ) before eating, in case it worked to quickly , and I would end up having a Hypo, went out for dinner one time, ordered the meal, worked out approx how long it-would be, so injected...

Forgot to say, Hamburger without the bun!!!

A delicious lunch I had the other day was, a hamburger, with a couple of strips of crispy bacon and cheese on top, with a large salad, I couldn't believe how filling it was, it kept me going for hours, and for afters I had some 0% Greek yogurt, and sugar free jelly, I also find homemade soup...

Oh, didn't realise protein could raise your bs, I've always concentrated on the sugar and carb content in food I'm eating, going to have to look into that now, blimey, it's never ending, feel I just get my head around all of this, then something else pops up haha, thanksTotto

Hi there, I'm a type 1 diabetic, I was for quite a few years, just taking Metformin, I used to have the same symptoms you are describing , up half the night peeing, because I was so thirsty I would be drinking half the night, I used to be shattered by the time I had to get up for work, it could...

Morning to all, let's hope it's a good one , just a quick question, was a bit naughty last night, eat a few of those delicious, Pork Crackling I heard about on here, I've just tested my bs, and they are at 8.5, would it be ok to do a correction dose, before I have my brekkie ( boiled egg and...

Wow, just read the article, I am SO into this , going to start saving, my finger tips are so sore!!!, but if I want to keep good control I have to test about 5-6 times a day, thank god I don't have to pay for the testing strips :)

Absolutely ,;)

Been reading the thread, I have thought at times I was going into a hypo, tested, and been shocked to see my Bs up in the 7s, so my Bs was high , and then obviously came down to a normal level, I agree with Indiana , I go by how I feel, if I feel a bit wobbly, I always test, and treat accordingly

OMG, thanks for the memory, we had those where I lived, on a very rare occasion you could get a ( used to be Galaxy) the bar of choc, free as your money would come back out, had forgotten all about those machines, great on a Sunday when all the shops closed on Sundays, unlike today :)

Oh what a good start to a Monday morning:), one thing the forum does for me at times, loads of great Imformation , and a good chuckle ,

Thanks for all that imfo Omar101, I do write down what I eat most days, and also test about 3 hours later, but like you said it does become tedious, also confusing, because for instance, for breakfast one morning I ate 2 hard boiled eggs, when I tested 3 hours later I was shocked to see how high...

Hi Omar 101, just been reading your reply,a bit complicated for me with all the maths, and not being a bodybuilder, and being a female, I would like to know what foods you are eating, I am on low carbs, I try to keep them below 50-70, I give myself 1 unit of Novarapid to 10 carbs, but it doesn't...

Hi all, been reading this very interesting link, I'm a bit confused, I take Novarapid , and my dn said to inject 5 mins before food, which I've always done, as I was worried I might have a hypo, if I didn't get food into me quickly enough, now today, I was out shopping with a friend, we had...
