problem with skipping meals or going too long between is the liver will do a glucose dump, hence giving you a higher read. plus you will not have enough energy (cals) to function properly. You sound like a bread monster! Can call you that, as I was one lol Mary x

The list would be too long Bennett The T2's who get them are the lucky ones. My gp agreed in the beginning , got one repeat script then was refused after that. changed his mind? overruled by PCT? dont know. Mary x

Hi Lonicera Welcome to the forum I hope you get it sorted, i can't begin to imagine what a nightmare it must be for you Mary x

woe, hold up there Phil not eating isn't the answer, try to eat regularly. Bread isn't too good for many of us. some can handle burgen. Think you need to go back to basics. you're running too high so you may eventually need meds but I think if you just do some research on yourself first...

Unfortunately, porrdige isn't your friend. you could test again in the evening see if it's as bad - weird this diabetes - some people can handle more carbs later in the day OR Try IanD's (i think) porridge made with oats and ground almonds - 20g ground almonds and 10g oats (i think the figs...

yep - it is for some people - ( I got my worst ever reading from porrdige) Some people are lucky enough to handle a small amount. There is lots of rubbish advice out there, if you want to minimise the meds you'll need your best bet is to 'eat to your meter' , with you saying your numbers had...

Hi, Welcome to the forum I think I understand your question to be if sugar coated tablets are ok for diabetics? I've had a look at google and it looks like loads of tablets are coated in one way or another eg ibuprofen. Why none have warnings for diabetics - i don't know. Can only think...

what a brilliant day you've had Grace Re the weight loss , it'll happen. maybe up the drinking water a bit, if you're not already having plenty. I know this isnt in the slightest bit scientific but I like to think of it washing the fat away lol Mary x
