Thank you very much
If you draw the line at cardigans, they will unravel all over the sofa and your lap.
If you draw the line at soup, it will spread out all over the table and turn into a Niagara to the floor.
If you draw the line at cats, they will draw the line across you, knock over the soup, and unravel the cardigan as they drag it through the soup into the lines they have drawn across you.
And as for two-year-old twins:
Thanks! I think I'll start going 1 hour then. I'd do both 1 and 2, but like I've said before, strips ain't free for most t2s lolHello all,
Missed a couple of days. So, here are my numbers for the last three days.
Thursday a bit higher for me with 5.4 -- suspect I had too much meat for dinner. Yesterday, fbgs were 4.7 and today 4.9,
@True Blue and @West335 -- Congrats on some very good progress. For me, it took about half a year to get my fasting blood sugars down to normal levels. So, you are really doing an excellent job. Winners both.
@West335 -- With new foods, I also test at 1 hour to try to catch the peak. There seems to be some evidence that high spikes can also be detrimental in the long run. Personally, I try to stay below 7.8 even at one hour, preferably lower than this. Testing it definitely worth the outlay, we learn so much about how we react to different foods, exercise, stress, lack of sleep, etc.
@karen8967 and @philchap1 -- So sorry to read about your hypos. Take care please.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

Yeah I was told for years, you're type 2 you don't need to check. Recently I have been given a much better nurse who thinks it's really important to monitor, however, her hands are tied. If you're willing (and can afford) to put the money into testing your self, I don't see why anybody would encourage you not toYes, I agree. My outlay is about GBP 50 per month on average. However, once we've tested a meal several times, we really don't have to test it again, or only every once in a while. It's mostly about learning about how your blood sugars reacts.
Later on, once you've normalized your blood sugars, it also helps with accountability and motivation to stay on track in my view.

If you can bear to use tech giants here are some low-ish cost possibilities:Thanks! I think I'll start going 1 hour then. I'd do both 1 and 2, but like I've said before, strips ain't free for most t2s lol
Can I just say in a non gushing way this is my favourite thread where I feel more at home than any other. Thanks everyone.
Thank you. They had a wonderful day and are now tucked up in bed.If you draw the line at cardigans, they will unravel all over the sofa and your lap.
