Hi, I don't eat rice at all now either, or chapattis/bread/naan etc. anything with flour seems to put my glucose levels very high. However, I do not have issues with jumbo oats if I measure a small portion (30g) and eat with 60ml whole milk and water and half a pear with toasted almonds. This...

Hi, how does your body feel after the chickpeas--what are your symptoms? Do you have any thoughts on the BG readings I shared?

Hi Kenny A, I did a similar test to you and I wondered if this is normal for a non-diabetic? I think it is, but not sure: I ate a small portion of black chickpeas (Kala chana) with a salad and one very small bite of a wholemeal chapatti with ghee. After, I had a bowl of full fat yoghurt with 6...

Thanks, this is really useful. I'll look back through my notes and graphs

Hi, the changes shown in the first study reflect almost exactly my own experience and give good results. If we convert the hbA1c measurements from percentage to mmol/mol, then the group begin at 42 mmol/mol (IFCC) +/- 2mmol/mol, so a range of 40-44 and by the end of the three month treatment...

Thanks for the info about the 'spikes'. Very clear. What kind of level is an issue if it doesn't fall over a period of 2 or 3 hours? Here are some of the studies looking at false high HBA1c levels and B12 anaemia, which I had at diagnosis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9677059/ this...

I've been wearing a cgm over Christmas. I've only had three incidences where I had spikes of over 7.9, backed up with finger prick tests. Twice times, I'd eaten red lentils. The first time it was a lentil and cauliflower curry. I also had three tablespoons of white rice and some onion bajis. The...

Thanks both. I can't find my fingerprint at the moment but will check. I initially went to the doctor in July as I had two near fainting episodes and episodes of palpitations. I'm now wondering if these were hypos. It was awful. She told me I was prediabetic (HBA1c at 42 with two tests a year...

If it's normal that's all I need to know--thanks so much,!

Hi, here's the graph from today

I've posted my libre 2 readings for the past 3 days. I seem to have episodes of hypoglycaemia. Do these patterns mean anything?

I should say that apart from my vision being a bit blurry and tingling in hands(this is a common issue) I feel ok. However, the reason I was tested for diabetes in July was two near fainting episodes complete with profuse sweating and palpitations. I'm now wondering if these were hypos? But then...

Hi, I just started a trial of the libre 2. My blood glucose is currently sitting at 2.9. this seems very low to me. I was told I was prediabetic in July (42--so not terribly high) and I've been lowish carb med ever since and reduced to 39. I also lost just under a stone going from BMI of 21.5 to...

Hi, I just wanted to say that I noticed today that my blood glucose meter readings are now in range 100% of the time. I've also shed weight from my belly, which I assumed was just a natural part of getting older. I assumed this because before diagnosis I had a good diet, low BMI and was pretty...
