  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.

    Hi there
    My readings are before I eat morning and evening.they are fairly consistent i have just checked my diary most over the last few weeks are within 2 points some are almost the same am and pm.i don’t check my level after I have eaten.I eat much the same every day.i am quite strict on my diet. .My Diabetic nurse says I have it under control.No I haven’t had it confined weather it’s T1 or T2
    Regards

    if you test your bloods 2 hours after you eat too you will get a much better idea of which foods work for you. Hope you get a diagnosis soon. Deb

  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

    I am honoured. My time on the forum is limited at the moment but in just over a week the project I'm working on will be complete so I will have more time to spend on the forum. You will learn so much from just browsing. Keep soaking it up. You are going to be just fine. Always here if you need me.

  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 better than I have in years. I can't turn back the clock but I can map the future. I've just cleared out my wardrobe and it felt so good trying everything on to see what fits and what doesn't and I'm happy to say not much went back in! Thank you for your encouraging words. Everyone is just amazing on here.

  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

  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
