You seem to have your bs under control. Well done. I suggest you try to get off medication. Start exercising more and follow the low carb high fat diet. It's working for me! I am totally off medication.

I also have a similar problem. Got this advice from a Yogi........when in bed, focus only on your breathing. Listen to your breathing. Try to cut off any thoughts from your mind. You should be asleep in a minute!! Works for me.

BG 7.4 this morning. Dinner - curried brinjals with beans. Dessert was coffee with mixed nuts. No medication. BG is a bit on the high side. Maybe I should take a Glucophage?

Thanks for the share Jitender. I have been practicing this yoga for many years and find it extremely helpful. I was advised to do it 1 hour after meals. The correct spelling is 'Kapalbhati pranayama ' and ' Mandukasana'. There are lots of video clips on google.

Hi all. Please assist my brother in law who is on dialysis. He has been advised by his dietitian to eat white bread, white rice, and it is ok for him to have diet soda!! I am concerned that this advice is incorrect. Help!!

Karela is 'bitter gourd '

I eat cooked karela and I find that my sugar levels drop. If you can tolerate the taste, I suggest u try juicing the karela and drinking it.

I use 'Stevia' which does not spike my sugar levels. It's made from a plant so there's no chemicals!

6.5 for me. Much better than the upper 7's from last week. My lettuce patch is forcing me to eat lots of salad!!

Thank you all. Glad to know that I am not the only one with this predicament. I am now confident and will respond appropriately to any negative criticism.

I am the same height as your husband Rosie. I feel absolutely fantastic and energetic! Thanks for the advice.

Dear Forum Members, My family is consistently nagging me to put on weight. Since I started the low carb program, I lost approx. 6 Kgs. I now weigh 65 Kgs. I am told that I look sick and need to put on weight. I do not want to put on weight as this may lead to a high HBA1C. Also, I am vegetarian...

7.1 at 6.30 am. Not a happy chap pie. Gonna have to try to get it to below 6. Long walk for me tonight!!

5.2 at 6.30 am. The 5 km walk before dinner certainly helped. Hooray to the LCHF program!!

6.2 this morning. Better than the 6.9 I recorded yesterday (had a slice of pizza before dinner heh heh!!)
