Blood Sugar in High 20's and GP not helping, please advise

[catherinecherub]

Just that I have type 2 diabetes and I was given an a4 computer printout of foods i should eat, potatoes, pasta, rice, brown rice, sweet potato and all veg...
I had a blood test and a foot check and haven't been seen since

Hi @Muggle71,

It looks as though your G.P. needs to be reminded of what you should expect after a diagnosis. You are missing out on a lot of necessary checks.

Make an appointment and print this document out and take it with you.

Really fed up, appear to have put 4 pounds on since Friday. It can't be right!! Think I need some new scales

BG before eating 20.2 Can your BG rise if you haven't eating anything? Just going to have a mushroom omelette.

I agree Milly, will help in way I can, whether it be diabetes related or not.

Muggle, your surgery sounds worse than mine, at least they were sending for me to visit the Diabetic Nurse - I just wasn't going.

Mine is always higher when I haven't eaten. You'd think it would be the other way wouldn't you!

Scottie, you said you were only going to weigh yourself once a week. Put those scales away!

Haha, I did, didn't I Milly. Sorry, won't weigh myself again until Friday. Promise.

You would think so, though nothing suprises me since I joined the forum. From allowed foods, to low carbing, high fats, it's all strange but glad I know it all now. Still learning.

Good girl.
Now what about meal planning,

 

[millysue]

Miggle and Scottie,
Have you had any lunch yet?

 

[scottie1]

Steak and salad for dinner tonight

Salads, salmon and tuna for dinners next week, along with sausages, eggs, bacon and omelettes. Also, pork chops.

Ham & egg salads for lunch, along with Ryvitas, ham and cheese.

Stuck for breakfasts.

That's it for now.

Muggle & Milly, can you plan your meals at all? We might be able to give each other ideas.

Well done Scottie,
How many carbs in the Ryvita, I was looking at them in Asda yesterday, the ones I was looking at look a little high to me.
Good idea trying to help one another with food ideas. But I am a veggie. I do eat prawns and some fish.

I think its around 7.2g Milly, per Ryvita. I have them with butter, ham or salmon/tuna with mayo. Sometimes put some cheese on and then toast them so the cheese is melted, as I don't like cheese that isn't cooked.

Miggle and Scottie,

I came to my parents after my sons rugby match. I had some cauliflower, broccoli and a slice of pork. It's filled a small hole I suppose

 

[scottie1]

It's good that you have eaten Muggle, are you still not feeling hungry?

 

[millysue]

I was looking for something to replace crisps yesterday, I wanted something crunchy. I looked at the crisps and boy are they high on carbs. I was good I put them back.

It's not crunchy, but it is a treat. I bought a packet of sugar free jelly, raspberries flavour. Some frozen raspberries and some cream.
So that was pur pudding last night, I have some left for this evening.

 

[Muggle71]

No not really to be honest. I feel like Ive got a lump in my throat the size of a football. Probably tension or something

Well done Muggle, was that your second meal today?
What have you got planned for your next meal?

You need to relax. How about a nice warm bath, would that help
