Good morning Johnny, I'm glad you were able to get a replacement monitor. My mother uses the same one and I believe our friend @13lizanne does as well, I find it very easy to use when I check my mother's blood glucose. Well done for remembering to take your medication and your blood glucose reading was excellent. Keep up the good work!Good Morning, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,
I am posting to inform you all that my health centre staff member, a very nice nurse practitioner, gave to myself a brand new True You blood glucose monitor to replace the one that either got taken from my home or misplaced by myself because of attention deficit anomalies in my autism spectrum disability/ADHD. She had to set the clock on it and check the battery power in it. I have got it now and I am going to keep it in its box and little zip-up bag with a new finger pricker and test strips.
I administered my Lixisenatide 10 mcg injection, 1000 mg of metformin, and adhd medication.
My blood glucose reading (fasting) this morning at 11:31 ante meridian was 6.7 Millimoles Per Litre.
Have a lovely day, my good, fellow diabetic friends.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Johnny Baker

Aww, sending you hugs. I felt just like you when I was diagnosed but spending some time on this forum was all the support I needed. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, we have all the expertise you need right hereHi there, yeah I would but can't have high fat foods either as am in verge of high cholesterol so trying to be careful not to increase that too. I'm feeling really down to be honest as trying so hard and have cut out so many things, lister ally living on salads and lean meat, no salt, no sugar and no improvement!! Have no support from GP surgery or diabetic nurse as I'm not high priority being a type 2. Feel tearful most days as feel like no help just too much don'ts. Oh well. Oatabix was the only carb I was having in the day tbh.

Same here, ask away we'll all chip in. We all react so differently to foods. Don't give up, keep trying and testingAww, sending you hugs.

Aww sending you hugs Vicky, A has just gone to college and I feel like going back to bed myself. Look after yourself, the post office can waitI'm reckless when ill. Just been offered a cupcake with a bit of a flake on top. Feeling sorry for myself, I yummied it all up.
Years gone by I would have had the whole pk of 6. Ha ha
It's been a busy morning but I've had to postpone the post office til tomorrow. Just not up for any more crowds today.
Bang goes my 4s.
Back home topping up paracetamol to numb my banging head cold. Might need my bed.
Phew! I hear you say. She's bogging off. Ha ha
Have a good afternoon everyone.
I'm not surprised you're fed up if you're living on salads and lean meat!Hi there, yeah I would but can't have high fat foods either as am in verge of high cholesterol so trying to be careful not to increase that too.

Aww, don't beat yourself up, hun - you're doing the best you can and that's all that can be expected of you. Summer colds seem so unfair, don't they?! Take care of yourself and I hope you start to feel better soon. Hugs xxI'm reckless when ill. Just been offered a cupcake with a bit of a flake on top. Feeling sorry for myself, I yummied it all up.

Oh @PenfoldAPD it gets right up my nose. So petty.Put 5 words after my FBG post this morning and told off. Clearly I don't know the rules around here so think probably easier if I just wander off .. have enough on my plate already
Yes, Oatibix definitely wouldn't work for me, either, as it's very high in carbs and would spike my BG levels straight away. I follow the LCHF approach (low carbs/high fat), so I avoid most carbs such as flour, rice, oats, bread, potatoes, pasta, couscous, etc. and instead for breakfast I have things like scrambled eggs, bacon, good quality pork sausages, full fat Greek yoghurt, berries (fresh or frozen), etc.
I'm not sure whether you've had a welcome post from @daisy1 so I'm tagging her, as she has some very helpful information which she can offer if you're looking for food options.
