How does an injury effect blood glucose? I had a nasty fall, my revision blood test was taken a couple of days later and my glucose was just outside the permitted range, all other readings were good. I am still hurting from the injury, so I suspect the fall put my levels up.

I need to starve myself due to day 3 of an upset stomach- yesterday I had a soda scone with a little jam, no butter for breakfast, lunch evening meal, today no better, I feel ´wobbly´ as if my glucose levels are low, so just tested, 3 times, got a reading 9.8, 10.4 and 11.2! o_O so not...

I was looking at the Greek yoghurts in Lidl this morning here in Spain, they only had it in kilo pots! Now as much as I love Greek yoghurt, a kilo pot is a bit much even for me!

The Doctor is more than pleased for me to stay off medication :) I get to see the Nurse every month, she checks my blood pressure, a finger prick blood test and asks a few questions. So being looked after well here.

3 months later and my results were good. My HbA1c was up slightly (I had a to hell with it all couple of weeks) but only slightly,from 5.7 to 6.0 but I am back on track, so that will hopefully go back down. My tryglicerides were down again as was my total cholesterol. I had a high GGT liver...

I have been trying to eat to a low GI recipe book, that spicey seafood stew looks lovely, can you let me have the recipe please? We live in a mainly olive growing area, we do keep hens, but I could not kill one! I have had a neighbour do the deed before!

Just googled, Low Carb, High Fat!

What is LCHF Avocado? Will go and take a look in the low carb section, thanks

I am type 2, controlled well, been taken off the Metformin tablets, my HbA1c test last month was 5.7 (work on the old numbers still here in Spain) I have lost almost 16kg in the last 2 years by healthy eating, and managing to keep to a size 12 too. I am trying to eat less meat, i am not very...

For the last few months i have had very painfull upperarm/shoulders, lifting my arms to put clothes on, taking things off high shelves was also very painful. 2 weeks ago my Dr said to stop taking Metformirn as my glucose levels have been good and my weight 15kg less, and my BMI is good. My arms...

The Dr was very pleased, my glucose was only 1 point over the top number:) (I live in Spain, they have different numbers here) so hopefully when I get re-tested in 3-4 months time I will be within the ranges suggested. It is something to work towards.:angelic: We have a lovely fig tree in the...

It´s ok Connie, spring is back- hopefully the ground will dry so I can go walking- our track is a tad muddy! Funny you should ask that Johnco, I have been hungry between meals, I did not think of it being the ´met´ that made me feel full up. Thanks for the link Bluetit, appreciated:)

I have 3 nice new size 12 dresses to wear- some chance at the moment!! I have taken my cholesterol drink ( i usually forget) going to make sure I take them every day. I found, well my husband found, rolls called ´thins´, as round as a teacup and thinner than a slice of bread and wholemeal-...

I picked upmy blood test results this morning- my neighbour is a secretary at the medical center so I can get my results before I see the Doctor and take a good look first! Consideriing I have not been as good as I should have been (I had a s*d it spell) they are not too bad. I am now back on...

When I told my friend I had been diagnosed as diabetic she asked if I was devestated, she would be! I told her I thought I was very lucky, as I knew right from the start that I was diabetic- I had been diagnosed with IGT (went to see the DR as I thought I had started the menopause, I hadn´t...
