Thanks, my readings were much higher when I started taking Humulin 1. I have not yet been able to go on a low carb diet. I have only recently (in the last 3 months) realised the significance with carbohydrates. I was under the impression that sugar is the problem. I joined this site hoping to find some information about reducing carbs.Good morning... A lot of us would be ver happy with your 5.9...Do you low-carb?

Have faith Brummy, yes carbohydrates are important. And since being on insulin I feel miles better !Thanks, my readings were much higher when I started taking Humulin 1.

That's my thinking as well. It's better to be incorrect on the high side.I find the same when cross checking with my Accu chek mobile. I've put the Accu chek away again now, experiments completed. I will stick to the Codefree because I would rather see the higher readings than be led in to a false sense of security with the Accu Chek.
6.2 this morning, but not a fair test. Usual weekend ritual of very late night snacking (jalapeño's stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon) after the kids are in bed.
Also woke up to -28C (-37 wind chill) this morning.... Don't think I'll venture out unless required. The cold had me thinking about the summer time fun and of course warmth of that season. Ended up going through photos on my computer and found a nice one that was still in the RAW camera format.
Fired up my Lightroom application and here is the end result. Sky is in a transition state, and about 25 minutes later everything was a purple glow
When it warms up in a few days, I'll venture outside with my camera and share some winter shots of the snow.

That is one stunning photo.
Thanks, can't say that I feel any different. However I feel I must try to heed the warnings.Have faith Brummy, yes carbohydrates are important. And since being on insulin I feel miles better !
It is frightening, impossible to contemplate moving to another country without NHS.Just checked the price of the B-Ketone strips..£28 for 10 strips now that is way too expensive, glad the NHS looks after me.
Is there a problem with the Accu Check? My GP has invited us to a meter demo, it will be interesting to see what they have to offer.That's my thinking as well. It's better to be incorrect on the high side.
What sort of cheese was it? I'm more for cheddars and that texture and Lancashire and other crumbliesI put two tablespoons of it into 1 oz of cheese and could not taste it as I thought the same as you....but on another forum they going on about one should not try these things when on insulin how are we going to know if things work if we do not try them I ask????

You've come to the right place for sureThanks, my readings were much higher when I started taking Humulin 1. I have not yet been able to go on a low carb diet.

It's the CodeFree that may be measuring high.Is there a problem with the Accu Check? My GP has invited us to a meter demo, it will be interesting to see what they have to offer.
