Why is it that I can have have a bar of chocolate (25g carbs maybe?) now and again (with a meal and bloused for) and my bg levels stay absolutely fine ... But I can't have an actimel with a meal when it's only 3.3g carbs? I'm feeling really annoyed about it. It's literally the ONLY thing that...

Skipped breakfast as I didn't get up until 12 (oops) Lunch: egg mayo, spam and 1 piece of brown bread. Also had an actimel drink, which may have been the cause of my later spike. Will try again tomorrow. Dinner: "fakeaway" and salad. Got the recipe from Facebook and it's basically Doner kebab...

I had exactly the same start about a month before diagnosis and was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome about 2 months ago. Was told to get a wrist support brace and it's really helped and most days I don't get any numbness now Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

It has now been 6 months today since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I can't believe it's been half a year already; it doesn't seem so long ago that I was in hospital. On the other hand, I can't really remember not counting carbs and weighing my food, it really has become normal. I would...

I had my first one since diagnosis yesterday as it was 7.2. My dsn said that's good as it was 10.7 when I was first diagnosed in November. When I asked what I'm aiming for she said 7. Feeling quite pleased that it's come down :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Chocolate cheesecake. Not a slice, the whole **** thing please! I crave cheesecake a lot, which is weird because I didn't eat it often before diagnosis. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have been diagnosed 6 months tomorrow! Can't believe it's been half a year already. I went for blood tests on a Friday morning and my gp phoned my workplace in the evening to tell me to go straight to the surgery and then to hospital as he suspected type 1 diabetes. I was shocked, I never even...

I can't see the words chocolate cake and not give it a go so I had some too. It's was lovely. A bit late for cake so I'm stuffed for bed but it's worth it :) thank you Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

You need to have the bottom bit open where you put the blood, I had to look in the instructions after struggling for about 10 minutes Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi all, I have a few random questions that I've been meaning to ask you all for a while. 1. I had my first appointment with the consultant last month, who had me do a blood test and urine test. I'm assuming he checked my hba1c (will be impressed if I've remember that right), which was 10.3...

I was given a monitor to test for ketones when I was diagnosed. At first I was told to test if my levels hit 18 but now I'm told to test if they hit 15 ... But as someone else said it's only if the high blood sugars are unexplained. As my dsn said: "if your sugars are high and you recently...

Hi, yes I am carb counting and my ratio is fine because I'm back down after 4 hours. I've been eating the same breakfast every day for a while now and it's been the past 4 or 5 days or so that I've my levels go up by 3 or 4 after 2 hours :( I do enjoy my breakfast so I could maybe play around...

I eat a lot of meat, veg and salad. I have spam for breakfast most days. I do manage one piece of wholemeal bread (9.7g) but I think I'll have to give that up soon as I'm spiking quite high. I eat cauliflower and broccoli pretty much every day. I love cauli/broccoli cheese with sausages or...

I used to be the same, id have a small glass of squash and it would last all day. I forced myself to and now I drink loads. I always have a drink in me. When I finish one I immediately refill my glass/bottle and I find using a straw helps. I now drink on average 3 litres a day ... That seems...

Thank you so much popsy, what wonderful things to say! I work really hard to keep my optimism because I think that it makes such a huge difference in all areas of my life. I'm currently trying to improve my life bit by bit every week and this forum and all the people on it are helping me with...

I did find the perfect dress :) so excited to wear it now just gotta contain my excitement until November! I didn't think I would go for a poofy dress but once is tried it on none of the other felt even nearly as good. I actually have to wear a hoop skirt under it eek! Sent from the...

I'm not exactly sure of my bmi but I'm only just out of the underweight bracket so definitely not overweight. Thank you For your help though Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks again. I woke on 4.4 so that was good. I was 7.7 before lunch though, gave myself an extra half unit then dropped to 4.4 again but now I'm 8.3. Not too bad considering I've been munching a little. Hoping to stay in single figures the rest of the day. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
