Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluetit1802" data-source="post: 1436816" data-attributes="member: 94045">Hi and welcome,You must be a good diabetic. You have done a lot of reading and have found your way to this wonderful forum where you can get all the help and advice you need from fellow diabetics.Can you tell us what sort of diet you are following? It is usually a low calorie diet with low everything that keeps you feeling hungry. If you can get the balance right between reduced carbs and increased fats, you should find the hunger isn't there any more. Is it hunger, or is a craving for some of the foods you have eliminated?I struggle to get enough blood. I have the finger pricker settings on 3.5 and still struggle a bit, so I just give it a bit of a squeeze. These machines don't require a lot of blood, but make sure there is a nice round blob on your finger before you put it on the strip, and make sure you put it on the very edge of the strip, not on the flat part. (Unless you use an AC Mobile meter and cassette) Keep trying, keep calm. It will become second nature, and your meter will be your best friend.</blockquote>
