Thanks, I'm not sure I am reading that right...there are arrows everywhere.. but the only one that fits is the protein hit from the Peperami... but everywhere I have read that meat is ok to eat, and there's hardly any carbs in a peperami.... how strange

I have been taking a small amount of statin each day for 10 years now. 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. I haven't got time to read all of this thread, but from first glance most people seem very anti-statins. My GP said there was no connection and no reason not to continue to take...

Hi, does this happen to anyone else? Yesterday morning I was down at 6.2 first thing then 6.3 just before lunch... then at 19:30 just before dinner it shot to 9.9 and 8.4 before bed...? What the heck? all I had for lunch was a peperami and a babybel, I also had plenty of water... is this just...

Only walking the dog/puppy... I've been told not to go over-board exercise wise, not in the first 8 weeks anyway. I don't want to become too hungry! I will slowly get back to the gym

I've also been having a couple of take-aways a week! Curry = chicken tandoori with a sag paneer and a pouch of cauliflower rice.... no spike what so ever ! Or Large lamb or chicken kebab with salad and the chilli and garlic sauces..... no spike what so ever ! and both good calories wise.

Sounds like yours is going in the right direction mate. I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago. fasting BS was round 13.0. Today, after nearly cutting all carbs for a month it was the lowest I have seen at 5.2. So in actual fact I am upping my intake today to around 50 grams... I don't want to go the...

"Also, you might experience some vision issues with the sudden likely drop in your blood sugars. That's normal as glucose is leaving your eyeballs. Your brain's been compensating for a distortion in your vision, and it'll have to get used to not doing that anymore. So if things get fuzzy, don't...

Another quick update, had my first completely 'green day' (in relation to monitor readings) yesterday. 7.2 / 6.1 / 5.9 / 6.1 mmol/L In 2 and half weeks I have also lost 11 pounds and I am feeling positive again. If I am completely honest, I have only had one day when I really wanted something...

Thanks Jo... I had a feeling apples weren't good.

Are apples an acceptable snack during the day?

Just a quick update, not that I'm guessing you guys need to hear this haha, but I have lost 7 pounds in 1 week and my readings are now into the single figures... I'll just keep pushing on. I have a follow-up blood test at the end of June to confirm the diagnosis so hopefully that wont come back...

https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/vitabiotics-diabetone-plus-omega-3-tablets-60099176 So I was wondering what you guys thought of these? worth a go or waste of time? I am looking at hitting this from all angles... :)

Got a selection of these today!! thanks.

Thanks Jo, I seem to be between 9.2 - 10.00.

Does anyone know what the different mmol/L levels are? I.e. prediabetic and diabetic

That is amazing mate... well done.

Lupf, the Isle of Man is beautiful, you should visit one day... can I ask a silly question, what is meant by ‘fasting blood sugar/level’ is that the level when you wake up?

Thanks Jo, very interesting, yeah I can do that no problem. I'll make sure its just 20 grams tonight and then take another reading. Then a nice omlette tomorrow morning!

Thanks ever so much guys, it really is appreciated. I had under 75g of carbs yesterday, in what was a very low calorie day. Today is a fasting day, only one meal this evening which will be under 700 cals and well under 75g of carbs. I have had a strong cup of tea and just water so far, but, my...

Thanks, is 12 a completely horrific reading? I have only had a light chicken salad at lunchtime today.
