[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 93122, member: 19371"] B*gg*r*d if I know why there is a need to apologise for our biology. I get a bit fed up with the assumption that there is something a bit unmentionable about what are perfectly normal bodily functions. Embarassment stops us getting treatment when we need it. Are your current cravings the ones you had pre-hysterectomy? Your ovaries carry on working waaaaaaaaaay in to advanced menopause and produce lots of hormones that have all kinds of beneficial effects, including reducing the risk of osteoporois. There is a lot on the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" website about this - a womens health resource which includes lots of stuff doctors generally don't tell us because the usual model for what passes as normal is male :shock: :evil: :roll: Excellent website, although writtne in American :) You could try checking your machine with the solutins that came with it - if you don't have any, contact the manufacturer and they will send you some freebies to test it with. This is what I did when I got my odd readings - I checked my machine. it also coencided with my second meter arriving and so I not only checked it with the control solutions, I checked it against another machine too. It has come a a shock exactly how far in advance of the start of my period that my blood sugar is affected, at the same time I'm just full of awe for the amazing feedback loops that go on in my body and how it regualtes all kinds of things (or not in the case of my blood sugar :roll: ) I want to learn how I can manage it to avoid the extremes. I think next time I will try a little and slightly more frequent approach to eating and maybe try to cut the carbs a bit more. [/QUOTE]
