[QUOTE="vicky_l, post: 362297, member: 64186"] Hi I was diagnosed about a year ago and my last Hba1c was high 62 at this time I am diet controlled but dr would like me medicated trouble is I dont even take a paracetamol usually so am not keen on switching to medication unless truly no alternative today I had breakfast boiled eggs and 2 hrs later my glucose was 7.1 had lunch wasnt hungry just very tired have been doing more so probably just that (have many health issues not diabetes related) but made myself eat something (am so trying to eat three meals a day of some kind) so ate small tin mackerel, 1 pear and 4 carob brazils and an hr and half later blood glucose is 7.9 this tells me my body is bringing levels down in a reasonable time of 2 hrs to under the recommended level of 8.5 my question is Do I really need more than three meals a day? as in are snacks essential the reason I ask is when I eat snacks by blood glucose is high and well I am morbidly obese and trying to lose weight and of course have no idea what the breakdown of fat does to my blood glucose levels but my brain says if I am breaking down fat to use as energy which will lead to wait loss surely that could effect blood glucose levels so thats my thing query thanks Vicky [/QUOTE]
