    sugar levels

    Hi there and welcome to the forum. First things first, avoid fruit juice, Orange Juice is one of things people with diabetes can use to recover from hypoglycaemia. Fibrous fruit, apple, oranges, berries for example are low GI which means they'll be digested more slowly than fruit like melon and...

    Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose and Type 2s

    That's good news Romola, a low GI diet certainly appears to be the 'party line' as far as diet is concerned as detailed on page 9 of http://www.diabetes.nhs.uk/reading-room ... s_2008.pdf, so glad to hear that that was clearly enunciated rather than the plenty, some carbs line.

    Making the best of a bad situation... Which BG meter?

    You'll need to be aware that external will affect each reading, that, and there's a 10% accuracy tolerance. The Xceed and new Breeze's report a plasma blood glucose figure (by taking a whole blood reading and multiplying by 1.12 - or 1.13 in the Breeze's case). Not sure about the GlucoMen LX...

    Gardening problem Help required.

    Another use for vinegar: 6. Cats - Vinegar will remove the odor of cat urine. Cats do not like the way vinegar smells. They will avoid urinating in areas that are sprayed with vinegar. A newspaper or rag soaked with vinegar will help keep cats out of your flowerbeds Regards, Tubs.

    A word of warning! Please read.

    Choccie, I'm so sorry. Having been the victim of two break-ins I think I can guess how you must be feeling. Another piece of advice is not to leave keys visible from the letter box as well, I've heard of keys (especially car keys) being taken from hallway tables. Regards, Tubs.
