Many thanks for reminding me to try the obvious. All missing data now synced.

My Contour app has stopped syncing my test results with Apple Health since 6th July. Contour help suggests it is an Apple issue. Anyone else having similar issue?

I had a similar experience on Metformin over 10 Years ago but my GP changed it to Glucophage which was a slow release version and my body tolerated that fine. Don’t know if it is still available but you might ask

Simple solution. Don’t shop at Tesco. They will soon revert if it affects sales

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Now I can plan a feast before I fly.

Thanks, I will have a fridge and hadn’t thought about that. Will probably take some berries and a small yoghurt pot in a cool bag. Some nuts would be good for mid morning as well.

I am going on holiday soon and have an early morning flight. In view of travel times to the airport i will need to stay overnight but the hotel does not open for breakfast until after I need to depart. They have offered me a packed breakfast but it is far too heavy in carbs and sugars for me...

My GP and DN are now accepting this approach having looked at my results on LCHF for last 6 months but are still reluctant to pass the message on to other patients. I offered my services as a mentor to other patients but was turned down because of patient confidentiality. How can we get this...

It was back in stock at my local Waitrose yesterday

Your situation sounds very much like me 12 months ago. Every 6 months I had blood tests and was then prescribed an increase or additional meds. I had cut out sugar, cakes, biscuits and puddings but thought the meds would deal with the rest of my food. Then I was faced with injections and...

Try contacting Verio and they will probably send you a free replacement.

My local Waitrose have also not had any Burgen Soya & Linseed bread for over a week. Type 2. Was out of control till I found this forum. Low Carb and testing saved me. Glucophage 1 per day down from 4. HBa1c down to 36

I was diagnosed with a fatty liver in 2002 supposedly relating to alcohol consumption. Subsequent blood tests have confirmed that it wasn't getting worse but no test was carried out when I had my last HbA1c last month. At my review I asked for the liver results as I wanted to make sure my LCHF...

James, welcome to the forum. You have already had some excellent response from others but If I could offer one piece of advice now it would be to look at the 'Low Carb' section of the forum. Exercise, testing, losing weight are all key elements but will do little to get your levels down if...

The important figure is your HbA1c. Its OK but if you follow her advice on diet you may not see the improvement you want. You have however taken a big step forward in getting yourself a meter. You will soon be able to see the effects of the food you are eating on your BS levels. Look at the...

Breakfast: berries with greek yoghurt, smoked salmon, scrambled egg, omelettes with tomato, chives and a little cheese, lean grilled bacon Lunch: homemade soups, salads, omelettes, lean cold meats Dinner: Lean meats with plenty of green veg, Snacks: small portions of nuts Type 2. Was out...

Try eating more often. Three meals a day will help get your BG levels down as your system will deal better with your intake. If you are not on medication then clearly your pancreas is still producing reasonably good levels of insulin. Give it something to work on all day or your liver will...

Diet and exercise are key but try testing before and 2 hours after meals for a short while. Testing strips are expensive, I know, but a short trial might help you identify foods which spike your BG levels. Try adding your meals to this topic to see if we can offer any advice. In my opinion...
