Ok thanks, will give that a try Cheers

Can I ask what kind of sweetener you use please ? I think some of them lose therir sweetness when heated apparently or do you just use it at the end to taste ? Thanks

thanks all, the 100% jam sounds interesting, wonder if it's available here ? Thanks

Was wondering if anyone has had any luck making jam using granulated sweetener ? can it be done ? any recipes at all ? Thanks

This is exactly what I do using the same meter and I feel exactly the same as you on this, have had many surprises that I would have otherwise been unaware of, for example I now know that hovis wholemeal doesn't spike me in small amounts but kingsmill wholemeal does ? go figure

Hi, was diagnosed type 2 about 3 and a half years ago with a fasting level of 14.7 and a subsequent HBA1c result of 10.5%, was put on 500mg twice daily metformin, quickly realised that low carb was the way to go for me and very quickly gained great control of my blood sugar levels, dropped from...

i'm type 2 on 500mg metformin once a day, last HBA1C 5.5%, i weight train and started taking creatine recently and stumbled across some interesting info that hopefully someone on here more intelligent than myself can help me decipher ? http://suppversity.blogspot.co.uk/2012/ ... 5gday.html i'd...

growing evidence suggests that rather than obesity leading to diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes often leads to obesity ?

i'm in no way an expert and can only comment from my own experience, since i was diagnosed just over a year ago i have dropped from just over 20 stone to just under 14 stone, i'm male and 6ft 2in, more importantly i've dropped from 34% bodyfat to 18% which for men is in the "healthy" range, i...

it seems to be generally accepted that dropping bodyfat helps lower blood sugar levels ? would it also be true that increasing your lean muscle mass has a benefit too ? does the increased muscle mass enable your body to use more of any sugar present in your blood ? or is there a lot more to it...

Thanks Dennis, great info there, by any chance to you have any links to evidence of this i could use ? " It is generally accepted that people who run blood sugar levels constantly above 7.5mmol/l are at risk of diabetes-related complications" Craig

thank you all for the replies, some great info there which i'll look into could anyone hazzard a guess what my HBA1c would rise to without 1000mg daily of metformin but with my consistent diet staying the same ? cheers

just read through my original post and realise that i sound like i'm moaning about being 5.5% to anyone really struggling to reduce their blood sugar levels, i apologise, i don't mean i'm unhappy at 5.5% it's just that we're all on our own journey with our own goals thanks
