Hi,

Was diagnosed a week ago, on Saturday my codefree meter arrived, yesterday Sunday I started to test. Morning pre meal reading was 7.3 (Breakfast: bacon, mushrooms, 2 medium eggs and 1 slice of the small Burgen loaf.) post meal 2 hrs later 7.6
Skipped lunch?
Sunday dinner was Roast pork (crackling Mmmm) roasted med vegetables and 2 roasted potatoes pre meal 7.1
post meal 8.1 (I suspect spuds?)

This morning pre meal 7.6 Breakfast same as above.

On Saturday when I first received the meter, I tested and my reading was 6.1, so it is rising- could it be stress? I know it is early days but I am not the most patient of people and I am finding it very difficult to eat just high fat (I will persevere) I tried a cake with whipped cream and strawberry using a recipe with almond flour, the fruit and cream were great, the cake mixture was pretty tasteless and I miss bread, toast etc, slightly off piste, I think I am rambling...................

Really, Really hard and depressing. If anyone knows a decent bread recipe? Also tried Cauliflower mash YUK!

Is there hope????

Going for a lie down

I'm sorry, but I don't think you should be telling him to eat what he likes! You are a Type 1 on insulin, so have far more leeway with food. @kingshussar is a Type 2 and needs a suitable diet of reduced carbs to control his blood sugars. If only we Type 2's could eat what we like! Sadly, that is what got most of us here in the first place.
