my food choices are terrible
ive had a salad in fridge made up and a steak ready to cook
but no fish and chips

i need carbs for that little bit of ommph
i use the mysugr app on my phone and its telling me my AC1 is 41.0 :(
i have days when my numbers are good
then days when they are really really high
under a tonne of stress too (i mean BAD stress)
 
Hi @licklemoose
Huge hug.
The ferretin and associated issues will naturally affect how you feel. It may be that you just need to focus attention on this for a while rather than try for diabetic perfection.

thank you
im seeing dr tomorrow hopefully so will see what he/she says
i just feel lousy
smoking lots ( i know i shouldnt and have been working with the nurse to quit but its failed due to stresses and they suggested counseling but ive been there and done that and felt worse for it, i think once this major stress has gone smoking should be easier to quit) i need to concentrate on what im eating i refused ice cream yesterday and oh boy i wanted it so badly but i know i cant have it
 
How about sugar free freezepops? Tasty and cold, not quite ice cream luxury though. Or cream on frozen berries?

Won't lecture you on smoking (yet!).

i actually have them rubber push up lolly molds so can make sugar free ice lollies, might even look into a diabetic friendly home made ice cream (if i get the energy to make it)
ive actually just got off the phone to drs and have an appointment with smoking nurse on monday at 4.30
im just looking at buying some lysine as its supposed to help with iron levels so fingers crossed ill be back and at it soon
