I havent been testing for a few months, then I got new strips and shocked to find i was in double figures. After a hard day at work i was 12mmol, and 13.7 on the morning. So i missed lunch, had no snacks and this morning is 13.9. Ive contacted my docs and im expecting to be put on insulin. My...

Feel free to as any questions any time

Loving it thanks.. weve been aboard for just over a year now. Currently on a marina in Cheshire and we go out cruising when time and weather allows. We might ditch the marina next year and do some long distance cruises. Our boat is an ex hire one which slept 9 people.. had two bathrooms too &...

Have I really only just seen your response nearly 2 years later.. my bad. Hope you are still cycling. I stopped for a long while whilst we had a lifestyle change (sold our house & bought a narrowboat) But finally back in the saddle. Bloods have been great. [emoji5]

Something 'naughty' once in a while wont do any harm.. especially if that day your doing something physical to burn up the glucose.

Test yourself and see how they effect you.

After many years off the saddle, I decided to dust off the old bike and get peddling. Its been around 6 weeks now and doing a couple of 20 mile rides a week.. and I feel great! Ive upped my carb intake a little to help with the extra demand on the muscles.. Today I had a tuna baton for lunch and...

Your far from alone.. i felt the same when I was diagnosed 18 months ago. Youll prob end up standing in the supermarket wondering what the heck to buy too (i did) Youve already passed the worst and are on the road to improvement. I find if I avoid bread, rice, spuds, pasta, pastry and sugary...

Yes we sometimes go through a whole tub in an evening (with help from my wife) [emoji16]

He he, I know that feeling! But it will get better. I snack on peanuts and sometimes peanut butter straight from the jar. Its full of the good fats and my cholesterol has come down too. (6.5 to 5.8) You can be naughty once in a while.. I have a pizza maybe once a month. or a meal with chips (I...

The main thing i do is avoid bread, pasta, rice, spuds and pastry and all the nice stuff with sugar in. I too was told to have 40g of carbs per meal. I have way less than that (unless im doing something physically hard) My first hba1c 18 months ago was 120, my last one 6 months ago was 37...

Avoid eating bread, potato, pasta, rice, pastry and obviously things like cake, sweets etc. DO eat un processed meat, fish, chicken, eggs, veg, fatty stuff is fine, ditch the margerine and have butter instead, eat things with high fibre. Also exercise regularly. Its hard at first to say no to...

Im on 4 metformins a day which is the same as when i was first diagnosed, and ive just cut back a lot on my carb intake.. no bread, pasta, spuds,rice and i take a couple of swigs of apple cider vinegar a day. I havent done much in the way of exercise apart from a bit of walking. I have porridge...

Ive just had my latest hba1c results and its come down to 44. Considering it was 126 when first diagnosed in june 2015, then 3 months later it was 70 and now down to 44 im rather pleased. My cholesterol has reduced from 6.5 to 5.8 and my blood pressure is perfect. I hope to reduce it further...
