4.8 @ 0930 Happy Wednesday, everyone

Morning All; first test at 1030 after dashing around - 4.6

Welcome to the Forum, Droosie. There are so many people with this disorder and good on you for having the motivation to tackle it. I would recommend reducing carbs moderately to begin with, and 'eating to your meter'. You may be surprised how quickly those cravings are a thing of the past...

4.6 @ 0900

4.7 @ 0845. A relief after 9.7 last night.

4.2 at 0856; feeling better for it!

4.5 @ 0915. This is more like it!

Many thanks indeed for your concern. Control haywire over the Easter week, but I now feel far worse than expected and the levels reflect this (3-9 mmol/L). I've managed to obtain an appointment with my GP on Tuesday and wonder what the response will be like as these figures are probably...

Pride Comes Before a Fall I'm not surprised. :depressed:

wonderful :grumpy: One measly toasted teacake and nowt else until 10 pm today - 7.2 mmol/l Not pleased with myself.

Brilliant post, Gudrun. Since it is nearly Easter ... I feel we need a careful strategy for situations such as this. Would you all agree that it is better to 'never say never' and acknowledge that ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS we might have a small amount of something inadvisable as a treat and in order...

Emmy-Lou, may I wish you the very best with this. My husband had one heck of a scare from an excellent Vascular Surgeon to whom he was referred approx. 6 years ago with intermittent claudication. He was faced with the promise of one, if not 2, leg amputations if he did not quit smoking...

Your first para above is also true for me. I am attempting to fend of this disease largely due to a strong family history. I, too, witnessed my mother's deterioration via blindness, kidney failure and the rest, over a period of approximately 10 years. The doctors were considering amputation...

Gudrun, I am so pleased for you. I'm typing this with tears in my eyes because you are making a very real difference to your health and wellbeing! It is lovely to be free of 'the tyranny of the fridge'. (Wish I had thought of this phrase.) I've had no problems with reducing/avoiding potatoes...

Done

Please believe you deserve better than this.

:happy: I love your post; you're no quitter! Congratulations on your hard work and achievement.:)

To live in the hearts of those you love is not to die.

Just to let you know how pleased I am with my SD Codefree meter, received on Thursday. It is smaller than I expected and less "clunky" than the Accu-chek Aviva. Readings from the 2 machines appeared to correlate well, and so I've ditched the Aviva. I'm now using a "hybrid kit" comprising the...

:happy:Message received and understood. I've just ordered a Codefree meter plus 50 strips from Amazon, for £19.98. I shall continue to use my Fastclix device and lancets pro tem as I had no choice but to purchase a box of 200 lancets from the chemist 2 weeks ago. These cost £17.55 from...
