BS readings

I only managed to take two readings today as I was caring for my mum who is disabled,

On waking 8.3
Before bed 8.2

I will be back to testing properly tomorrow. Also, should be receiving delivery of bathroom scales tomorrow so I can see my starting statistics to getting on top of my health issues.

Evening all,

Figures for today are:

Breakfast: 7.2/7.1
Lunch: 7.1/7.3
Dinner: 7.0/6.3

Did receive the weighing scales and it is not pretty, up over 4 stones from what I should be
 
I haven't tested mine for some time...I just take my medicine when required. This morning after I woke up it was 12.2
 
@davetee exactly why you should be monitoring your levels regularly, I dont do all day but I definitely do my fasting and before and after dinner just to know the trend.
 
Thats a great result, I dont know what my cholestrol is to be honest, the doc did not even want to do the a1c, I had to force him to do it. But I am due full bloods after I finish my ND, just planned it that way as if I ask for a full blood, he will never do it, looks like he pays from his pocket for the tests, I dont know how it works inside the nhs but I really dont get support from him, worst part is that the other one near my house is even worse so I have to persist.

I know it's so difficult getting any real help for a lot of us, and I have found since I have started to take control they don't seem to like that either. Especially when I question them about it. My Dr told me that I should be aiming for a HbA1C result of between 48 and 53 - when I asked him why, the only reason he could give is the NICE guidelines!! So I think we both need to do what is best for us. Good Luck with the ND :)
