Scottie, can you get hold of the little book entitled : carbs and cals by chris cheyette and yello balolia it is so helpful to us in counting carbs and cals ?
Scottie
I doubt whether you are going to lower your readings much more just low carbing.... You need to check out your new gp sooner rather than later...
Yes that is a given scottie, you need to do this with your doc's approval and any further meds they prescribe.I called the practice we had applied to today and they said we are not in the correct postal area so called one up that was and hubby has to go tomorrow and get some forms. It was too late today as he was due to set off to work, so will get them tomorrow.

I agree and i think sooner rather than laterWendy
Are you T1 or T2? You may get more responses if posting on T1 if you are a T1..
However if you say what insulin regime you are on it would help.. But you really need to see your healthcare team..
Hello
My blood sugar has been in the high 20's and 30's for approx. one week.
I don't know what is causing it, have not been eating or drinking anything I shouldn't.
My eyesight is very bad at the moment, I feel like the my head is spinning. My left foot is feeling numb and I feel really poorly.
I spoke to my GP at the end of last week and he suggested insuin but did not take it any further and said I needed a blood test so I had one yesterday.
The nurse said she would mark it as urgent and it would be back today, it hasn't come back and the surgery does not seem concerned at all.
Please could anybody advise.
Thank you.

Yep, its very eye opening as to portions etc, just whats needed eh!I ordered Carbs & Cals a few days ago, it arrived yesterday, sunday. What a good book. Boy have I got my portion size so wrong. Eg. Oven chips 10g carbs. 54 cals thats only 7 chips.
It shows a plate with the amount of food on.
Hope your book arrives soon Scottie
Hi scottie how are you?Phoned GP - cannot get an appointment till next Wednesday with either Nurse or GP. Told receptionist about my BG, she looked on PC and said I'd been given 2 x extra Gliclazide for 2 weeks so it wasn't urgent.
BG on waking 19.1.
