I had my 2 hour test on Monday 18th. Before I went I did FBG and it was 5.6mm, I then went to the doctors and had a blood test and took the polycal, waited two hours in the surgery and had another blood test. I have to ring up on Monday for the result. But, I did a finger prick as soon as I...

I'm not quite sure where I left this - hope I'm not repeating myelf. I went to family party and evryone said how amazing I looked. I did my BG at 12.30 pm (about two hours after party nibbles, and two halves of lager didnt overdo it) and was 6.1, Next morning FBG 6.2 so felt pretty good...

Thanks Geordie, I feel more positive today, got more energy and my weight is constant and my FBG was 5.00, It was a bad day yesterday, at the hospital all day with my husband, he's got a knee replacement op soon, good that it's coming sooner rather than later but he had hoped for a smaller op...

I went on 16th Jan to see the diabetic nurse. I am going on 22nd to have my finger prick and drink and then wait for 2 hours etc. It was a fiasco on 16th. the nurse weighed me, said very good, asked me how many metformin I was on (I tell her every time I'm on no tablets.) She wanted to do the...

I put mine sparsely on a plate, in the microwave for 10 minutes at 30% of heat, after 10 minutes I move it round and cook it another 2 mins at 30% heat. Doesn't go to mush but done.

That's how I feel. I;m beginning to feel like it's the end of a marathon. If it wasnt for the diabetes I would have packed it in by now, I feel too thin (10st 10lb) but I still have fat where it shouldn't be. I've got a meeting with the diabetic nurse on 16th May and the glucose test on 22nd...

I've just bought two Slimfast drinks (banana and strawberry) and they are not a patch on the ASDA ones, they are a lot sweeter. (half price £2.99 from Boots).Only good thing is I have half an ASDA drink and the slimfast scoop is just half an ASDA drink measure so I don't have to guess the ASDA...

I've noticed that the fat I have is quite flabby too., but I can now get into a size 14 suit I bought that was much too small so I am over the moon. I've not done as much exercise as I should have done but a friend and myself are going to go to the gym every Tuesday from now on. My swimming...

"I thought on the Newcastle trial all of the participants' FBGs were normal after 7 days, why is mine still a bit high even after 10??" I;ve been on the diet proper for a month now, and my fasting blood sugar seems to be 5.2 fairly consistently. I went to the doctors on Tuesday, wrote my...

Thanks borofergie - Ketones - can't say I understand it, but will try again soon. I'm on milk shakes and home made veg soup at the moment, so sounds like protien in urine not an issue until later when normal eating starts again. Lots less of course.

Does anyone know about ketones (may have got that spelling wrong). I know some people test for it, can anyone point me to a post about it. Also the doctor put me on blood pressure tablets (I've told him I've come off them and will see him next week anyway). This was because I had protein in my...

I dont know either (re tomato soup) Can anyone out there help? Went to the pub last night and there was a kareoke, it was awful, people who couldnt sing who thought they could. So we went to another pub where I could sit behind a wall and drink water and we met some nice people. Today still...

I dont know about tomato soup, I sometimes have a tin of tomatoes when I am starving, ingredients on the tin are just about nil but very filling. I've had 3 shakes today (strawberrry) and cabbage and onions and veg soup. Going to the pub to drink water, and listen to one of the men talk about...

Hi All Autumn6464 here It's taken me a while to read all the posts and probably forgot half of it. My story is I was on Metformin (metfartin a good name for it) noticed about an hour after I ate anything I was rushing to the toilet, feeling washed out and couldnt cope, dragging myself...
