Thanks yeah thats when I take them first thing when I get up, I eat a little cooked chicken and have a coffee with them first day took them first thing without eating and didnt feel great afterwards.

Thanks wasn't sure how long the prednisilone would take to get out of my system that was the major worry as not happy about bg being higher than 8 now. As for the antibiotic will need to see how that goes when I start taking the kefir.

Thanks feeling better already but will definately complete the course and then back onto my normal diet. Have bought Kefir grains from amazon, Used store bought Kefir when I first started to kick start the resistant starch diet.

Thanks I will ride it out as I know I need to complete both courses.

I have been put on 40g Prednisilone and 3x500g Amoxicillin daily for 5 days into my 3rd day now. Doctor put me on these for chest infection which resulted from Flu. I have been following a resistant starch diet for over a year now (know that the Amoxicillin will kill of so much of the gut biome...

I can now eat any carbs as long as they are not greater than about 60 grams. I do tend to stay away from refined carbs although I do stray sometimes but as long as I dont take an excessive amount it wont raise my BG too much. Made a mistake a few months ago eating Irwins Irish Batch bread and...

Been following this discussion with interest although a lot of the scientific stuff went straight over my head.. Nice to see someone has sorted their DM out using a method other than LCHF diet. Sorted my DM out in the past year going the Resistant Starch route and that has improved my IR and can...

Got a new meter last week from Amazon, bit fiddley to set up and not the prettiest but the cheapest and working well. eBwell eB-W01 Blood Glucose Monitor (£12.95)...

Took readings again side by side. 2hrs after chinese Chicken FuYung and 1/2 of wifes chicken curry and fried rice. CodeFree 7.7 eBwell 6.9 Since there was a bigger discrepancy took them again. CodeFree 7.0 eBwell 6.9 Results speak for themselves deff gonna stick to the eBwell.

:rolleyes:Took readings side by side. 2hrs after banana and coffee with cream. 2hrs after John West Morrocan Salad and strawberries and yoghurt. Dunno why that image turned round but as you can see from both Pics theer is no difference between the 2 BG meters. Going to be using the eBwell...

Got my new meter and tested against the Codefree not a lot of difference between reading. Will use again after I've had something to eat.

Yeah thats the one so your contour is the correct reading. I have another type of meter coming tomorrow as I've lost faith in the codefree. Would use the contour next one that I have but the cost of strips is on the expensive side.

I'm using a codefree and that is giving me higher readings than the contour next one I used last week. There was a post by someone last week about a dodgy batch of codefree strips , as it happens thats the batch i'm using now getting the higher readings. The batch no is SO318075 check and see if...

Using the same batch as GOONERGAL and getting higher readings than normal just got 100 strips of that batch number.:arghh: Had ran out of strips last week used a freebie that I got contour next one the readings on that one were about 1 less than what i had been getting with the SD boisensor...
