Not open for further replies.
As I sit here with the brasso polishing my halo I would just like to say that whilst all around me were eating their chippy lunches today I sat there with my 3 bean salad. Unusually my bs was 6.1 pre lunch (normally in the 5s midday) then down to 5.3 2hrs post lunch. work that one out, had the same brekky as always.:angelic::angelic::confused:

Are you on meds? A lot of us low-carb to stay off the meds, and some of us low-carb and respond so well that we stop any meds at all, or reduce them... The lucky ones are the ones who are pre-diabetic and discover this forum before they begin to take meds... :)

Like me :)
 
Phew, sorry guys, just "likes" to your posts. No replies. You've been busy - 85 posts today. 5.7 this morning but late night snack of leftover butternut squash with cheese followed by sugar free choc orange bar. All gone now tho...hadn't been eating full bars til u tried the orange one. Sausages chips and gravy for tea then out to show so no post meal testing. Normal service resumes tomorrow breakfast ;)
 
5.4 today and been to see the GP for my latest HbA1c results. From a eye-watering (literally) 102 in August 2014 the latest result was 39! Been testing for two months and my average in that time across all testing has been 5.2 - pretty pleased with that

Good morning from dusty Qatar! I liv off the Budaiyah highway - in Barbar... one of the older compounds with lots of lovely old trees and greenery... You would not recognise it now for sure... it's changing every day.... you need to pop over and see it.. :) You would not believe what they have done to Adliya - all the restaurants there are so good now and they've cobbled the little streets and built fountains and flower beds... :)

I'm sure lol - when I was there if you wanted a decent meal out you had to go somewhere like the Hotel Diplomat!
 
Had a terrible 17 hour day at office yesterday out of which 12 hours without food. Reached home and I was 5.7 but not adjusted. This was 2 in the night already so did not have after 2 hour reading as had to be back in office at 9 but fasting was 5.8 unadjusted again.

Really late on parade today! !
Fasting was 5.6
Today I had my appointment with my nurse to check how I'm doing meds free, I told her my average fasting and pre/post prandial, she decided to do my bloods today instead of april- but after two attempts couldn't get a drop! Think as I'd gone straight out this morning and only had my coffee and not my usual glasses of water during the morning I wasn't flowing! Now I shall have hba1c on the 19th. She had commented "look at you" when I walked in, asked what I was limiting food wise and this time when I told her seemed to praise low carb!! I asked to pop on her scales to see what had changed since Dec 30th, as I did I heard her take a sharp intake of breath then a big laugh- 13.2lbs loss!! Then more praise....
Now I need to update my signature again, my total now 5.15stones loss!!
As for my sudden, hot, heart racing, waking in the night I have to see gp but she agrees it was never the forxiga as he thought it may be as it's happening still so its more likely hormones as we thought

wow! well done you, you must feel fantastic, i've lost nearly 2 stone now and feel great for it, I know I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't diabetic though, I would have fallen by the wayside a long time ago, so maybe I've got something to thank diabetes for...............Anyway over 5st is a fantastic achievement you should give yourself a huge pat on the back:D
 
Just got back from sainsbugs and while there I thought I would take a butchers at the free from range, its got more carbs than the ordinary stuff!! As I have mentioned in previous posts me and bread have fell out big style so was hoping to find something low in carbs, I've ended up getting water biscuits/crackers from the normal aisles. hour and a half its taken us to do just a small shop. On the bright side pate is low in carbs, as is smoked pork sausage which hasn't got any:D:D
