[Paul59]

Well everyone was saying how important it is to monitor yr BG lvl, but how? As in when to monitor, how often & what they do if lvl is too high

codefree meter and strips off of amazon uk are the cheapest

 

[Paul59]

The quack is letting me have 1 & supplies needed. I mean when do you do the tests to monitor the lvls etc.

 

[jack412]

you are lucky, they are cutting costs and in their wisdom have decided T2 don't need strips..it's like driving a car without a speedo and wondering why you are getting speeding fines

when you wake up, before you eat and 2 hours after and when you go to bed

depends how many stips you have, whether you can do every test every dat

 

[Andy12345]

test when you start a meal then 2 hours afterwards, this gives you an idea of which foods raise your bg and which dont, therefore you know which to avoid

 

[Paul59]

Lol, got a good quack & been with him since he started the practice.

 

[Paul59]

test when you start a meal then 2 hours afterwards, this gives you an idea of which foods raise your bg and which dont, therefore you know which to avoid

Ok got that.
Why not once in the morning then one before bed to see how your intake panned out over the whole day?

 

[Paul59]

So to begin with it's suck it & see till you find the balance that suits your needs?

 

[Andy12345]

first thing in the morning is unreliable due to the fact our liver produce glucose to enable us to get out of bed and start the day, its called dawn phenomenom and very unhelpful to diabetics, our livers dont know we have DB so carries on as usual, what we eat during the day is what gives us our blood glucose so monitoring what we eat is all that really matters for a type 2, if you tested late night 5 hours after eating it wouldnt tell you anything other than a baseline, theres little to learn from it

 

[Paul59]

Hitting the sack now, so will catch up tomorrow, sleep well all.

 

[jack412]

basically you suck it and see

Step 2: For the next few days cut back on your carbohydrates
Eliminate breads, cereals, rice, beans, any wheat products, potato, corn, and fruit. Get all of your carbohydrates from veggies. Test your modified meals using the same schedule above. See what impact you can make on your blood sugar by eliminating various high carbohydrate foods.
