9.4 A few xmas extras . But thIs is not unusual. However, early am reading during the nite recently , jelly baby taken to prevent a low b4 waking. Phone call from Diabetic Dic on MONDAY. 2 X 500 METFORMIN. 1 x insulin levemir

@Lainie71 The term spike turns up a lot. The meaning is that it sends readings higher.?? Everyone is a bit different but what does 'spike' mean for you? Because I'm trying to add weight not lose it my range is higher than most type 2s. Would 14 or 17 be classed as a spike , or is it a...

Hi thaanks for those replies. Im bowing out now.....I was just interested in the Sugar element of diet my doc is looking into the wobbles in my blood sugar readings. Shes not keen on much of a change in diet . Plus i need to put on about another 1/2 stone . To take me from 6st 13 to 7st 9 .Ill...

Hi Im going to read all the info and bow out. One last query ..... is a no carb diet basically for health or for weight loss. Or integrated? Thanks bye for now

@NoCrbs4Me I have never heard any of this. Thee nurse i first met thought I was Lada but didnt tell me what to do if anything. She told me to join a group , one which had closed and never opened again. I employed a dietician . I was given insulin once a day.. The former nurse disappeared...

I'm updating my signature.. I mentioned Levemir but maybe folk wouldnt know thats Insulin. Is the proofile different? Yes I treat a low with 4 jelly babies or a small, can of Appletise. I always carry jelly babes with me , plus Appletise in the car beside the bed and in the fridge. A...

@ NoCrbs4Me EASY TO DIGEST THIS info/ i WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ADVICE AS MY INSULIN INTAKE CAN PRODUCE READINGS OF 3.3 AND EVEN 2.6. (Im also tryig to push my weight up to 8 stone / 50Kg ) But yes Im discovering i have a sweet tooth

also the keto options thanks for your help. Its s puzzle as to what older folk do.

Im looking into Parsleybox, Wiltshire farm foods , or supermarket ready meals. The online nutrition isntt fully helpful. But if pictures and carrots in many meals then they arent wise

I recently saw that adults can have 90g sugar per day. Not for diabetics tho.? Are there any guidelines for diabetic, type 2 s. The only tip I was given was 5g per 100g. Which i took to mean on food labels in store. No info given on whether this was per meal,; per 100 of a meal , per day Or is...

@grantg Sorry my post didnt read well. The doc wants the a.m and bed readings. plus pre and post meal readings. I do these everyday anyway as insulin can produce lows , so I tend to do the frequent readings. To be clear. Levemir at 6.45 doesnt seem to kick in soon enough ,the reading starts...

Hi. Im only on insulin once a day. Occasionally I get lows. These unnerve. I tend to overcompensate. now with consequent higher readings around 11- 15 after the next meal. Any suggestions to quell the fear and to treat a low, (3.1 - 3.8 & two 2.6 over 3 yrs) sensibly,

The diabetes lead is taking my request seriously . He wants a weeks readings . I have weeks readings of taking metformin and insulin. Levemir , at times at last Abh1c when taking levemir 6.45a.m. And readings from this week ( and beyond ) but taking at 3.30 am. Guess which are the lowest .?

Hi Your post re Chocolate made me think about CHOCOLATE. It was my opinnion that it wasnt the chocolate that you were raving but a sugar fix. I was more obsessed with ice cream. Im glad you have tried very dark choccie. My little treat is to have 1/2 a square of Lindt 85% or 90% after my...

Maybe my experiment is working ...... I've contacted the D B lead re e periment. Awaiting a response
