you are right I'm not hungry but I know I will be before I leave work. I do already add cream and butter to my eggs but will try more and add extra eggs. Trial and error I think. I don't like being in the situation where I am hungry as I go fuzzy headed. At least I no longer eat cereal and...

it's quite a big gap (4 hours) and if I don't eat enough at 10am I will be too hungry by 2 pm and will end up eating whatever I find first and probably not low carb

not vegetarian :) and I will try that

Thanks for all your replies and ideas. I work in a school kitchen so can't eat at work which is why I eat before I go. I will try an extra egg and see if that is enough and look for ideas for other meals.

My cholesterol is going up too. It is 6.8. I am sure it is due to the cream and butter (although high cholesterol runs in my family). The GP didn't seem concerned and didn't mention statins.

I had a non fasting test that gave me triglycerides, is that not an accurate level?

My latest Hba1c was 39 and my levels have been similar to your's (apart from 1 blip 6 months ago :( ). My cholesterol is also going up and I am wondering if it is too much ceam and butter. What is your cholesterol? Mine is 6.8. I aim to have my hba1c tested every 3 months but it usually 6...

I have scrambled eggs for breakfast which would keep me full till lunch time but I leave for work at 10.30 am and don't get home till 2pm. I need to eat something at 10am to keep me going through work and the journey home. I have been eating berries, yoghurt and cream (my Hba1c last week was...

that's great news Lynn! My husband is a big Jethro Tull fan and I pinched one of his usernames. Wow Ian Anderson's PA - I bet you had some exciting times!

Have you got your results yet Lynn?

sorry Lynn I did my usual "post on the forum then forget to post again". You must have had your hba1c by now, how did it go? if your BS is OK I am sure your hba1c will be fine. my last hba1c was a real wake up call. I thought I was doing OK and as my previous hba1cs had been good and I was...

Thanks brunneria. I am pleased to be back [emoji3]. First time round is a bit of whirlwind and learning curve. Second time round I now know I can't eat all the things I could and realise my hba1c results were good because I wasn't eating sugar.

Thanks chalup. You're right 44 isn't bad but it has made me realise my reaction to sugar is not as good as I thought it was. We CAN do it...

Hi avocado! I thought with the odd blip I was doing ok, obviously the blips were bigger than I thought! I found my food diaries from 2013 the other day and thought I don't need them any more so threw them away - oops! The blood sugar diet sounds like something I could do with as my weight has...

I know that now! I thought that because my hba1c results had been good I could eat more carbs/sugar than I should. I also think I have been eating too many berries and cream. This has been a wake up call.

As the post title says I am almost back to where I was when I first joined the forum 3 years ago. Up till now my hba1cs have been good. I started at 46 and managed to get down to 34. 15 months ago it went up to 38, but wasn't too surprised as I had eaten more carbs on occasions. Then I got...

@ewelina I have missed your recipes whilst I have been AWOL from the forum. I have my sights set on the chia choclate pudding and quiche!

Thanks. I found your fab new thread on green smoothies:)

I haven't posted on the forum for so long and not really sure why. I feel I need to come back to get some control back. My last hba1c was 38 so I am not worried about that and I seem to have kept that under control. However since I left the forum my weight has gone up and I need to get it...

Daddys1 no problem. Any help is useful Scandi. I have eggs every morning and have berries and cream (I found yoghurt was giving me heartburn) every day so was thinking if porridge was ok I would have another option and it would be good for my cholesterol. Thanks for all the porridge/oats...
