tash stoking is an exact 72 mg/dl ,just like a par 72 round of golf[ 18 holes] and this is the definition of a chuff . Anything over is a chuff minus.

What is this strange language that you speak with? could you not chuff in mmol?
 
@ Baruney .

I am a bilingual chuffer , so that converting from mg/dl chuffs to mmole chuffs/l is not a problem for me.I am sure that other posters on this thread could propose a characteristically witty English name for a unit of chuff.

I will moshe, we will see if she's serious about it but im more than happy to spread the word about eating sensible foods and being more aware. I was told i didnt need to test any more because metformin isnt known to cause hypo's but i dont do it for that. I test to ensure my sugars stay well within a healthy range so that it isnt detrimental to my health, shame on the nhs for that poor pieceof advice !
 
I know how you feel. Nevertheless, I did take things in my own hands a bit when I bought my first monitor, and showed my GP, that after 2 months on Metformin, my fasting BGs were still 8.2 and 8.8 etc. I was put on Forxiga, which changed the game, but it is known to reduce bs levels, and I started to feel symptoms of hypo, and unwell. This is when I was given a monitor, strips and was told to test when I feel unwell, which is still quite often as I have lost around 1 Kg a week, from 125 Kg in May to 117 today, something unusual for my body used obesity for the past over 10 years.
Self monitoring was the only way to learn what to eat, and what not, and thus to go from a FBG of 8.8 on 28th May, to 4.9 this morning;-)
Keep up the good hope:-D
 
This morning:
Blood Glucose 6.3 mmol / L
Ketones 0.5 mmol / L​

Bed Time:
Blood Glucose 4.6 mmol / L
Ketones 0.1 mmol / L​

Noisy neighbours last night - Later than normal wake up time. Stress levels are up - as a senior manager said to me "Life is difficult!" - so inspirational that comment. bah!
 
Hi Nomistheman, sorry to hear that:-(
I've had planned supervision today, and I had the chance to clarify my need to have regular/(when needed) meals, so at least I don't need to bother about looks from some colleagues who think about diabetes as about some fuss...;-)
I guess it's still about digging your heels in, like with so many, other issues. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Take care
