Hi I am no expert but I was testing at 19/22 blood glucose and an Hba1c of 12.3 an d my doctor said diet only for six months I now have an Hba1c of 7.1 and regularly test at between 6 and 8 blood glucose, so it can be done with diet and excercise only. :D

Hi, What I hate most of all about having diabetes is not being to eat exactly what I fancy, I crave bread and potatoes and rice and pasta more than anything!!!!! :thumbdown:

Hi, Maddening isn't it......... if there are x number of carbs in 100g, get the total weight of packet, count how many crispbread on pkt and divide! Example if packet is 300g and there were 30g carb per 100g, so 90g carb per whole packet, divide the number of crispbreads say 30 crispbreads per...

Hi, maybe I can help, recently my 5 year old grandson was tested for diabetes, his thumb prick was in the 6s, we were told this is non-diabetic reading for children, readings are higher in children and not diagnosed unless they are getting reading over 11. If the child is generally unwell surely...

I have chicken or lamb tikka with salad and half a japatti, yum and maybe a desert spoon of pilau rice and a spoonfil of vegatable curry!

I use a mixture of splenda and Total Sweet, hope this helps. Vicky :)

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me, I am low-carbing and my readings have more than halfed, I have lost maybe three quarters of a stone in three months and didn't need to at all, my problem is that I don't seem to be tolerant of any more than 50 g of carbs a day, I can't eat fats either...

Thanks and yes I did have gin and slimline tonic and a couple glasses of red each day, is it beneficial then to have a nice glass of red each day? might it lower those night time readings, or does it produce a false low if you know what i mean? :?

Thanks Grazer, I do count everything.... I think fruit sends my levels high, even if I only have a little with greek yogurt, two or three strawberries even, some times I feel very frustrated with it all aarrgh! A typical days menu goes like this... breakfast is two ryvita crackerbread, one with...
