Hello Julie,

I like tuna too. I can’t eat it with bread though because bread makes my blood sugar rise.

I mix it with mayonnaise, spring onions, cucumber and tomato and have it with coleslaw and grated cheese.

Have you been diabetic long? For me it’s 14 years now.

Is 6.5 an hba1c @julieclarke ? (HBa1cs can be measured in %, so 6.5% , or mmol/mol (eg 50mmol/mol). 6.5% is the lowest level at which you get a diabetic diagnosis.)

In any case, your blood sugars on this thread look mostly very good to me, (from the point of view of someone who has been injecting insulin for more than 50 years.)
Happy New Year.

49 is a pretty good result it’s just over pre diabetic, it’s where I usually sit - between 47 & 49. Not everyone can get those magic numbers & shouldn’t feel pressured to try. It can be demoralising & counter productive when we don’t achieve it.
