I had my appointment with the dietician at the local hospital yesterday. I took along a diary of everything that I had eaten and drunk for the last two weeks with a printout of my BG levels uploaded from my Freestyle monitor.
My levels are still high and after studying my paperwork, she couldn’t understand why – i.e. 14.4 two hours after two Weetabix only with semi-skimmed milk! My readings range from around 7 before a meal to between 8 and 9 2 hours later.
I have avoided carbs for two weeks which I was told was not a good idea as I still have to have some so I had three new potatoes with my meal of chicken and broccoli last night – 2 hours later 8.8.
This morning I had 1 poached egg on Burgen toast with Utterley Butterley. BG went from 7.9 when I woke up to 10.9 2 hours after breakfast.
I’m sure I will get there in the end but it seems to be a very steep hill that I am climbing. I have to see the dietician in another couple of weeks to see how it’s going.
I found it was a useful appointment as I did learn quite a bit. Especially how to read nutrition labels.
My weight is still slowly dropping from 10st 8lbs in January now 9st 1lb (5ft 3ins) so I don’t want to go any lower. Sorry – bit of a waffle, just wanted to write it down.
