I can only wish for control like that, I have other conditions that make it very tricky to manage and I already carb count really well. I'm looking forward to learning more about exercise and sick days as its those that I struggle with. Thank you for your reassuring reply, I will keep up with it all and hopefully get control as good as youI did the DAFNE coarse last year. I was actually sceptical as it’s quite a commitment with the length of coarse , and my carb counting and control already deemed as excellent. It is worth the effort/ time and has helped in a few situations like sick day rules and food combinations. Since completing this my time in range has improved. The “Gold” standard being 75%. I aim higher and have not changed my food types, just DAFNE teaches techniques to handle them

Hi @chrispem, welcome to the forum.7.8 with no breakfast or early morning brew at 8am. Struggling at the moment, straight to the gym 90mins relatively tough workout. 750ml water during and decaf coffee 1 brown sugar after. Home 20 mins later BS of 8.5. No idea what I’m doing wrong.

Evening @LBimo and welcome to the forum. We're pleased you could join us.6.2 Just been told by GP recent blood tests suggest borderline Pre-diabetic and will review 3mths (brother was T2 diabetic) trying to cut down on carbs but need fibre as I also need to reduce my LDL Cholesterol as heart disease in family. Food juggling ahead.
Evening @budgend1 and welcome to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.I wish that I could get my morning reading down as low as some of these my average reading so far for Feb is 15.6, with a low of 11.8 and a high of 18.5. I have taken this up with the doctors and request a blood test that was carried out and I was told that the HbA1C was 58 the same as last year when the daily readings were lower. I now have an appointment with a diabetic nurse to discuss my concerns.
Hia you are probably not doing anything wrong. Exercise increases my bg regardless but will go down shortly after - if I am lucky! Your DP being 7.8 will add to the mix of the no breakfast and the tough work out. The brown sugar may jumped it slightly also. Give yourself a break, you will get this. There is no reasoning with diabetes and in time your numbers will level. Stress, anxiety, illness and other factors also play a part in our numbers7.8 with no breakfast or early morning brew at 8am.

We are all sending hugs to you Ashybang, hope it all goes smoothly xxxxxxxxxNever rains but it pours.....
I've had my fair share of maladies just lately and yesterday I awoke to very badly swollen legs with pitted edema bilaterally.
Tried getting in docs and no appointments available so called 111 for advice. After numerous questions , the lady said she'd get a practitioner to call me back. After a couple of hours I got a call back and again after numerous questions I was told to call GP back, tell them the symptoms and also that I'm a recent heart attack patient....
I did this and at first was told there were no appointments, but then told a cancellation had just come through with a practitioner nurse so I took the appointment.
After examination , I was advised to go accident and emergency.
Time spent at hospital and told I'd got deep Vein Thrombosis and needed a scan to find the problem.....
Stafford hospital closes early for the night . It was 3.30pm and they said it's too late to book in for a scan. I was given a tummy injection and sent home, but they said I'd be phoned this morning to book in for a scan. Just had the call, so all is happening and it's another trip to hospital. Iv spent so many days there lately, I may as well move in......
This morning BG 7.3 mmol which is a great result considering recent events.
I think also, I have an abscess forming where I had the very violent tooth extraction 2 days ago. Mouth is still very painful.
Proper going through the mill I am just lately, but I'll plod on and keep my chin up hoping things turn around soon and life becomes tolerable once more......
Fingers crossed today's scans on my legs goes ok and the Blood Clot melts away no bother and my legs and feet etc go back to normal.
Sending out best thoughts to you all.......
