Just an update on the porridge, Mike uses half the measures he was using with a little more water his readings have been 7.7 mmol/l.We have been testing all evening meals and he has not had a bad reading,tried the cauliflower with butternut squash as an alternative for mash with mince and onion...

Hi nomistheman,well it better knowing ( I suppose sigh) it's Scotts Porridge oats think he is going to try half and splendor sweeteners instead of asda's own sprinkle sugar which he has been using,this is like a full time job at the moment lol. test strips ooh it's so annoying 4.99 plus 2.00...

Hi blackcat,it's a pain isn't it that's the reason Mike chooses porridge its slow releasing and puts him on till lunch time,his day's can be quite long or in early.All we can do is listen to each other on here and hope we get some tip's thank's for the reply :)

As promised, Mikes reading after porridge was 10.2 mmol/l :( but he is off tomorrow and he is going to do half the measure, Mike's measures on food would always be as much as he could fit in the bowl so may be less might be ok,will see tomorrow he is a creature of habit he has had porridge for...

Hi nomistheman,no you didn't give me the impression i was doing anything wrong I knew you where trying to help :D haven't heard off Mike yet about his porridge reading, just been shopping Diabetes shopping lol not the same as just chuck in what you want or can afford, lucky for me my son is off...

Hi Thundercat,yes I was pleased but will not get ahead of our selves, we know the changes he has made have been hard but we are both learning every day and thank's to this forum it help's a lot when you are worried so thank's for the reply.

Hi SquireFulwood, yes it was taken 2 hours after his lunch,well here's to hoping we can fight this together, thank's for the support Squire.

Hi claireabelle1 I am definitely no expert but I can sense how worried you are, and hopefully some one with the knowledge will answer soon, it sounds like he is having hypo's but please don't take that as I know he really should see his GP for both your peace of mind hugs to you.

Mike did his first post meal test reading 7.1mmol/1. then pre meal test 4.9mmol/1 is that a good or bad reading ? anyone free to answer when they have time please.

Hi Yorksman,I have read your post's and they are really helpful,it would be so much easier for me if Mike was into spices but a garlic piece of bread is foreign to Mike lol,he has always been a plain eater Sunday roast ect, But saying that he is working with me and the changes, I was just...

Oooh I was really pleased to see your reply's and welcome's to the forum, yes I think I need to look at the carbs more, Mike is a lorry driver which makes his day's unpredictable some long day's so I was saying to him we need a back up pack in case he is stuck. He is on Metformin and has started...
