Maybe a railing would help @Shaz51 . 7 steps is a lot. These days I opt for a ramp if there is one.  Otherwise I do try to hold a rail. It's hard with only one good eye.

Railing on each side @Dimity 

Yes only one eye here too xx

I am off to bed , see you tomorrow 🥰😍

@Shaz51 shazzy, I wish I cpuld take it away for you 😔. You are a fighter and you will find a way. Like our friends here have said, write anything you don't understand down and ask for help.

Sending you lots of healing hugs 🫂. 

I'm praying for you 🙏🏻 ❤️

@Shaz51 

do you find tap water puts your readings up, if I drink tap water my sugars tend to increase just wondering why that is? Should I filter my water instead or try bottled water, anyone else experience this and what do you do about it, I know I need to drink more water but I don’t want it to increase my readings either

Hello @Happychick 

Drinking water alone does not put your blood sugar level up , it depends on how hydrated or how dehydrated you are when you have a drink of water

@Shaz51 @Ok cause when I drink water my readings go up but they’re going up now anyway. My morning fasting reading was 10.5 and before lunch was 15.3 so don’t know what to do now and my appointment with the diabetes resource centre is not till the 3rd June which doesn’t really help me in the meantime. Just need to know what to do to in the meantime so appreciate any advice you can give

[Shaz51]

That is high my friend @Happychick 

It depends on what you are eating and drinking throughout the day 

The amount of exercise you are doing 

Amount of insulin and medication  you are on 

Carbs is what we need to cut down on
