I eat when I'm hungry When I started out I was eating little, often (2 hourly) mainly because I wanted to test food out. Now I have 3 meals, rarely snack but if I do it'll be a piece of ham or cheese etc. I do try to not go too long between my meals just as I did before I was diagnosed but...

OMG make an appointment with your doctor to discus your concerns. Yes you are still diabetic and you still need monitoring. You are a well controlled diabetic NOT and ex-diabetic, currently that state does not exist. However you have brought your numbers down - could change in the future if...

I don't bother testing in the morning anymore I only bother with the results I can influence - ie 2 hrs after food. if you want to test in the morning - take your meter to bed and test before you get up and out of bed, that way you may avoid the impact of the dawn phenonemon Mary x

Hi David Only the doc can give you a definitive diagnosis. 13.5 is high but could be either T1 or T2. T1 tends to be in younger people and lots of symptoms like thirst, weeing lots, blurry vision T2 tends to come on gradually and sometimes you think there are no symptoms, or you could get the...

an extra warning point. Alcohol isn't a treatment. lol Weetabix in a bowl of Shiraz not an option. :) Mary x

My understanding is that the liver prioritises dealing with the alcohol before releasing the glucose, as the alcohol is a toxin which needs getting rid of. This therefore, slows the release of glucose into the blood, so for type 2 on diet only or non-insulin type meds it will reduce the spikes...
