My B/G level was 7.8 after eating quite sparingly all day.a few tomatoes with black pepper a small bowl of porridge with skimmed milk.one piece of low carb bread.A few cups of herbal tea.A few Raspberries.
At the end of the day we all have to eat something.its not much fun going to bed hungry.I read non Diabetics B/G level is 4-7 mmol/L So any Diabetic just outside this range isn’t doing to bad.

Good morning guys , going for a 50 th birthday celebrations worried what to eat

Hi There. I have tried to look at the doc that you posted for comment (below) but it needs permission to view. I have asked for that. Any tips for approaching my own GP surgury. I am on the PPG but to date they don’t really seem to be much interested. Regards David

Hi Deb! ♥ You're the first person I followed on here. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time on this forum, and learning from people here. Thank you for your post! It caught my eye and gave me hope! ♥

Happy Easter Monday Debs

Enjoy your time out... It sounds like you are having fun!

It's good that you have started to clear out your wardrobe, but don't forget that you'll need to replace what you throw out so maybe it would be better to do it in stages. As I lost 38 kilos and it cost heaps to replace what I threw out. But retain your positive approach as it can only be a good thing.

Hi Debandez, It's good to hear your feeling positive as you can't let this condition get you to start feeling negative, as this is when things will quickly go from bad to worse in a flash. So it's great that you are maintaining a positive out look, you are in the right place to get help to maintain that positive approach I assure you, and good luck with your progress!!! My BGL's this morning were 7:2.

I'm feeling very positive.

I found this very helpful to give me some kind of reference point to work from for the calories in part. You probably now know by heart the mantra, not all calories are created equal!

I would never eat these in isolation, only as part of a bigger meal with plenty of low carb veg and meat or fish. I would also always make sure to have wine and in most cases the meal is the only meal of the day. Spike is relative but usually below 6 at 2 hours and stays there. Hope that helps

Feeling happy as my hba1c down from 62 on 8.12.17 to 42 today 22.3.18. All credit to the people who have guided me on this site.

In the daily mail. T2 diabetics can now have MORE sugar in their blood (but not in their diets), doctors say in newly-relaxed guidelines

Found this article today which is quite interesting.
