bought the sd codefree meter from amazon, total cost was £25 which includes starter pack, extra supplies of strips and lancets. I wont feel a true diabetic until I jab, test and record o_O this forum is amazing, I have learnt so much in 2 days, thank you everybody.
 
thank you, for your no nonsense advice, I was warned about grapes, I guess that knocks the wine then lol I will visit amazon and purchase the monitor you recommended, very grateful to you.
No sugar in wine !
 
Hi. You'll be pleased to know that wine us ok. The alcohol gives the liver something else to do rather than raise your glucose levels. All in moderation of course.😉
 
No sugar in wine !
As long as it's not sweet wine of course. I love rose wine but the one they always seem to sell in pubs is Zinfandel which is very sugary. Give me a Pinot blush any day!
 
A drop of wine is fine. 🙂
 
*buys a crate of wine*
 
Hello and welcome to the forum Mrs G. My sister has been eating tons of grapes! I told her to leave them out, they're sugar bombs. The only fruit I really miss is nectarines.
 
A drop of wine is fine. 🙂
A bottle is better 😎

I ate a small jacket potato with 3 butter knobs and a whole bottle of red wine. Blood sugar reading 2 hours later 5.4 lol!!!
 
Wine is back on my do's list! smoothies and grapes are off!! I have no idea what my sugar levels are until my magic box arrives and tells me, I hate needles so hope it doesn't hurt:( Thanks everybody, there is so much info on here.
PS if you grew up reading Enid Blyton you will recognise my user name !!
