Of course it is important for anyone on Insulin to know their fasting levels as you say. There are however many members , new or otherwise on diet only or other diabetic medications where the correlation between the fasting level and the 2 hour level is just as important so they know how their...

To put this thread in context of the Forum, Firstly it is in the ‘Discussion ‘area of the forum. This area is read by most members. The most experienced, knowledgeable and well controlled members answer these threads and try and help to educate and support the less knowledgeable and often...

At 28 gm per portion far too high for me ! You could probably bring down the carb level by substituting something less carby for the breadcrumbs and use a lower carb flour. Grated cauliflower would go nicely with a cheese topping. Not sure if you mean allbran as in the cereal but that has...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona My doctor actually admits I know more about Diabetes that she does ! Most GP's unless they have a special interest in it only have a basic understanding of diabetes and generally just follow the guidelines. That is not my opinion that...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I was told today, by a Doctor, that an Hba1c of 7.3% was good ! Did I accept that ? No I did not ! ( not my Hba1c BTW but a relative !) She said that they thought having it lower was unrealistic for some Diabetics as increasing...

What do you call naughty FM ? Do you test your blood sugar levels when you feel like this ? It sounds like a rise in blood sugar levels. It depends in the number of carbs and whether they are quick acting or not. Obviously something sugary will have a quick effect on your BS levels.

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona Actually there have been about 25 different posters on this thread, if each one viewed once after that then that would take you well over 788 ( 1525) . So 9 voters did not bother to post a view on the subject. However there do not...

Re: Question to members about contributions from Professiona I do not think this is a good idea ! Over the years I have seen many people purporting to be some sort of medical professional try and post here. Many are foreign nationals who usually have a book or blog to promote. We already...

Have you been losing weight by any chance ? Next time you are at the doctor's/nurse take a urine sample and ask them to test for ketones. Ketones leave the urine dark and can have an unpleasant smell.

To be perfectly honest I can see no further value in answering these threads anymore. Their avowed intention was to upset and annoy members here and disrupt what we do best, supporting each other whatever method we choose to use. I suggest we let these threads die and let's go back to the high...

It's always great when we hear of members getting control of their Diabetes Pasta Shape,good for you ! That's what makes this Forum so good, learning all the different ways they can control their Diabetes then choosing which one works best for them. After all we are all individuals with unique...

You really need to discuss this with your doctor ! However my thoughts on your post. If you were a Type 1 for 8 years and they stopped your insulin you would die..... As you have been on Metformin and they are thinking of putting you onto Gliclizide, both these are drugs for treating Type 2...

Personally I love Broccoli and Cauliflower but tomorrow is Father's Day and I may have a small roast potato with my steak. It will not kill me and I will enjoy it all the more as being an occasional treat !

Maybe we need hats with fluorescent letters that say, I'm a Diabetic ' on it ! :lol:
