Well I hope your nurses make it as interesting as the ones on my course did. I understand my condition so much better now. They said all the things I moaned about on an earlier post, that they wanted to get to people early so they can educate them about diabetes so that they can adopt a healthy lifestyle and therefore avoid a lot of the complications associated with it.
Hopefully it will be worth the early start for you. I was lucky, my course was in walking distance.

So nice to hear positives coming from the NHS system... And the walking can't have hurt, can it? I am coming back to the UK next week and I'm hoping long walks in the cold will keep my numbers down so I can have fish and chips... :hungry:

How can I work out the carbs in the soda bread I make? The recipe is:
170g/6oz wholewheat flour (I use spelt flour)
170g/6oz plain flour
Half teaspoon salt
Half spoonful of sodium bicarbonate
Half pint buttermilk
Mix together to form a dough, do not knead bung in oven at 200 fan assisted, for around30 minutes. Quick, easy and tasty, except I don't know if its high in carbs.

It may well be better to test a slice rather than work out the horrendous amount of carbs in the loaf and divide it by slices... :) Testing is the best way to discover what you personal limits are - and the sky's the limit for some folk on here! :) Here's hoping you can eat some of your lovely bread without spiking... I am going to make it today for my husband - but I shall try a slice with boiled eggs... can't remember when I had soldiers last... thank you for the recipe... :cool:

Have I had the liver dump?
6.7 at 10.25 bedtime last night.
7.3 at 4.40 am. Had been awake for ages.
7.6 at 8.00 am.
New to testing so feeling very confused, as I thought it should go down over night.
I had dinner last night around 7 pm. Stry fry veg in butter, and didn't eat after.
Any advice please.

You could have .... no real way to tell. Unfortunately for all of us, you need to establish a pattern based on food, sleep, anxiety and a few other hundred factors. Keep a s/sheet going to track it by date / by meal
