some success after getting monitor

Hya :wave: I have been low carbing for 2 weeks now, but as I didn't have a monitor didn't really know where I was at. what would put bg up what wouldn't. so I spoke to my gp he told me he'd speak to the nurse next morning. so I sat and waited all morning for him to call me. by 2pm I decided to call him back,
I was told the nurse was about to call me. "here we go" I thought she's going to say I don't need a monitor, and she did. I explained to her that I was having problems knowing what was happening. she still thought I didn't need one. so I pulled out my trump card (sometimes illness can be usefull) I explained that my hydracephilis is hard enough to deal with and now I'm diabetic things are going a wee bit crazy. I'm suffering terrible headaches, ( thinking to much causes awful pain in my head) so she relented bless her and gave me a monitor.

After a few errors I finally got it right. I was very pleased to see that my bs was already down to 5.6 before dinner and 2 hours later 6.4
Today 1st test was 5.8. 2 hours after lunch ( wholemeal chicken salad sarny) reading was 8.2
Not bad considering 3 weeks ago it was 13. must be doing something right.

Hopefully by the time I go to the "educational clinic in April I will have got mesen down to a good level.
Hope everyone is well

Thanks annew. Have spent 20 years plus trying to get my weight down :thumbdown: always put it back on.
Now I have no option, I have to lose weight and keep my bs down.
So I'm so pleased that both are on the way down already.
