8 - with chicken salad for dinner!? Can’t understand it?..

I’ve been T2 for about 5 years now and been in remission after abandoning Metformin and following the low carb diet, my morning bs have until recently been between 5-6. But in the last 6 months they have been in the 6’is and now 7,8 and 9 this morning. I really cannot understand why, I...

I only drink Coke Zero sugar occasionally and always mixed 50/50 with sparkling water, its just to sweet otherwise.

I understand, but how much does it cost for an operation to amputate limes or a hospital stay for other complications. Meds to keep sugars under control. The NHS spends millions/billions on other meds for different conditions!

Totally agree, I don’t take any meds for T2, it’s all controlled by food and exercise. If you don’t no the affect food is having how can you control what to eat?

Considering I’ve not been called for a blood test in the past year, I think it’s very important. Oh correction they called me for a test in October, but then forgot to test my sugars! whilst I ruffle no what I can eat each day, sometimes I experiment with different things and it’s good to see...

Well it’s not the exercise then.. All I can suggest is looking at and doing more research into your diet plan, cut the carbs totally to start with, drink lots of water and green veg. Once your sugars drop then add small amounts of carbs. Most foods contain carbs so if you cut the obvious ones...

Has anyone had low carb Chinese food or eaten Chinese food since being diagnosed? As far as I can see, it’s just full of carbs and sugar, ever though I used to love it along with Thai food

Hi, sorry to here this, sugars do go up and down, your body might like some foods more than others... don’t thin Turkey agreed with me! And whilst I walk 30 minutes every day it still wasn’t enough over the Xmas period... On a normal day I usually do a mix of jogging and walking, but over the...

I can only tell you what my machine said... but it seems there are not alway accurate. I was on Metformin in the beginning but it didn’t agree with me and So, I did a little research and found this site and Diet Doctor and now cook everything from scratch. Doctor advised me to test every...

Yes, after doing an online search Contour Next came out tops for accuracy 100%, however the strips are £20 for 50!

Yes I can understand that, plus also listening to your body. I generally know when my blood is low. It’s just when it’s higher than usual. Thanks for all your help, Merry Christmas
