this will do it too: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.htmlHow do you relate the daily readings to your HbA1c - is there some kind of formula you have devised?
Be careful to eat enough.... 500 calories is far too low for man (or even petite woman for that matter), your body goes into starvation mode and makes it harder for you to lose weight as its doing its utmost to make best use of what you have and conserve energy where it can. Its very difficult to get the range of vitamins and minerals etc that your body needs in so few calories5.0 this morning - much better than yesterday's 5.9 and the signs are that I am in ketosis thanks to my low cal and low carb diet because yesterday and this morning I had/have no hunger pangs and no lack of energy. skipped breakfast and only had a 100 calorie lunch so managed to do 500 calories for the day. If I keep this up I may be able to re-coup some of the weight loss I didn't achieve last week...
no probs.......Well done guys ... sorry for the temp derailment

6.7 this morning which I'll take as out at pub quiz last night so few chips and no exercise. Also @WeeFergus I'm having the same problems with urticaria ( hoping it's not going to end up chronic but I'm not holding my breath as it's been weeks so far) and just the stress from that can put your levels up a notch. I wake up worrying whether today will be a bad day which doesn't help, I'm sure. Hope you get some relief soon x

It's unlikely that I'll get complete relief soon as I've had pressure urticaria for about 10 years and take 4 antihistamines a day. I certainly hope you lose yours sooner than I have.
Ah, I must have missed that. Glad you are being carefulDon't forget I'm on a temporary Newcastle style diet very low energy diet. I actually feel brilliant but not expecting it to last and will take appropriate action if necessary. Last night I had fried beef steak with a mushroom cream sauce plus lots of greens and tonight it's a pork belly stir fry with mushrooms, carrots and green beans and I had an avocado and kale smoothie for lunch. I am taking a multivitamin supplement and extra strength fish oil. But thanks for the concern.
Mmmm, bit on the high sideFasting 19.1

...and what a beautiful day you had for it...Good morning all,
A hefty 6.0 at bedtime
A hefty 6.0 this morning
Not sure why as I only had a salad for tea and was 5.6 after 2 hours. Off to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve this morning, and what a beautiful morning it is.
I use the Mobile - have done since Christmas... I wondered if it was recording a little higher than the Active.... but really it's the difference in the numbers that's important - not so much the actual numbers... within reason that is... I think it was BlueTit that told us that... Try not to worry too much... Do you suffer a lot from urticaria - it's miserable? Could it be linked to a food you eat that is high in histamines? There's quite a lot of stuff on the net about it... Hope you sleep a bit better tonight...7.5 this morning.
So where did that come from? Well, it could be because I had a distrubed night (chronic urticaria).
Was it because I was using a new meter? I had ordered new strips for my SD Codefree but they hadn't arrived (I had not actually made the payment!) so yesterday I went down to the local chemist but could only buy a new meter (Accu-Check mobile). I used it a few times last night and it seemed OK - although I actually prefer my SD Codefree one as getting the blood onto the strip is easier and each Accu-Check test costs approx. 50 pence.
The first test I took this morning was 8.0 but a second one immediately after was 7.0 so I've recorded 7.5. I'll take another test before I eat later this morning and see if I can get back down to the 6's I have recently had.
Did you just make that up PD?Here in South Shields Uk we're called Sand Dancers
Welcome Lucylockets...Turns out i have a uti and just had my meds doubled.
urinary tract infection? is what I was thinking - play havoc with the numbers not to mention discomfortWelcome Lucylockets...I think you'll have to explain that one to some of us... or is it just me?
OOOh, no wonder your numbers are high....... Get well soon xTurns out i have a uti and just had my meds doubled.
