Hi, thank you, I have only done 2 tests because I only got my meter today. I am self funding but I will test when needed. I haven’t waited 2 hours after food because I need to go to bed, I am on call from 02:00 so need to get some rest, testing about half hour after dinner was 8.6 so not...

I will do, I just need to find the hidden carbs too.

I was thinking I am keeping under the 100g a day but I guess in one meal that is quite a bit. I shall see what my BG level is after eating!!

My HbA1c reading was 7.5 % 58 mmol/mol Rats, I thought the fishcake was ok, I will know for future reference. The berries in the freezer sounds perfect thank you.

That sounds good, I am not convinced the berries would stay in the fridge for when I want them though, my children love berries and my husband would also steal them. I need new hiding places!!

Last night I was hungry so had ham with a variety of cheeses, it was scrumptious and filling.

I shall avoid the minstrels, it is hard with lots of people in the house who can all eat whatever they like. I don't think me snacking on the almonds makes them as jealous LOL

Hi, I was diagnosed just over a week ago though was waiting and aware for a couple of weeks before that because my GP receptionist told me!! Anyway, so am trying hard to drop carbs, I am aiming for below 100g a day and not finding that too bad, lots of omelettes and veg to fill up for...

Hi, Sorry I went into hiding for a few days. So I saw my GP, he was great actually. The concerning news is my BG was 6 last year and now up to 7.5 so no time to lose. He did say it could be my pancreas giving up but I figure less sugar gives it less work and more time to heal. I have questions...

Oh that is fabulous, thank you.

:)

Oh crusty bread rolls, I will miss them with real butter, extra mature cheese and sweet chilli jam. I used to eat a slice burgen bread toasted with peanut butter when pregnant, that was my breakfast and carb treat but I was on insulin then so needed some carbs.

I will check out for a meter for testing and work out what works. I know white bread needs to go, mostly because I couldn't cope with it when pregnant. I am lucky I don’t have a sweet tooth and don’t drink pop. My issue will be breads.

Fabulous, thank you. I know medication will affect my job so I will ask to try without for a bit. Unfortunately my job is also a factor of type 2 because of shift work LOL You just can’t win really!!!

Thank you all, sounds like lots to learn but there is hope.
