I can't remember exactly where I got the original data from Pipp, but it was in an illustration showing carbs in fruit that I then put into an Excel spreadsheet to make the graph. I think I also used data from the Compostion Of Foods Integrated Dataset (Google it) which is about as good as...

Try lower carbs fruit, there are many lower in carbs than apple.

A no sugar jelly mix. Just make your own jelly desert with added low carb berries such as raspberries and/or strawberries and top with double cream. Or, if you have the time and inclination make your own low carb, no sugar, ice cream. It's not difficult and takes a little time, but it's nice to...

Here's a graph showing carbs(sugars) in fruits. You'll notice just how high in carbs bananas are.

We take two, three week holidays in Greece every year and I've not found the heat to be a problem. I know what foods to avoid and like @Sue_Cyprus_ I avoid chips and also rice and pasta etc, but find there are plently of tasty options that won't elevate my BG. I don't test very often as I don't...

Hi @francesk, you total cholesterol looks pretty good but the ratios of Total Cholesterol/HDL and HDL/LDL and triglycerides/HDL are probably more important. Here's a handy calculator - http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php

In common with most as @helensaramay has said I experience it too. I have found that if I don't have any supper and have my last food about 8 hours before bed my early morning reading tends to be reduced.

Most memorable we've had was in the Caribbean with tamarind sauce, though that was in my non-diabetic days.

Ok, and this is my final comment. Without your pre and post meal BG readings it's impossible to to suggest anything of any use to you. The 'before' readings are just a baseline, but the 'after' readings are the important ones they are the ones that tell you how your body has reacted to what...

Do you test before and 2 hours after every meal? You might perhaps be eating more carby foods for your evening meal if the BS levels for earlier meals are within normal limits. Just a suggestion. That's all.

My guess, and without further information about you, it is just a guess is that what you are eating is causing the high readings. Your blood glucose levels are directly related to apects of your food intake. There's no doubt about this at all. So if you could give some indication as to what you...

See if this is of any help @MissMolly86 _ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/flu-vaccine-side-effects/?

It's great and versatile. Tonight we had 'hash browns' made with cauli rice, onion, egg and cheese.

Hi @ixi1429 and welcome. Your morning (fasting) BG levels look pretty good actually but you will find that establishing a correlation between your morning level and total carb intake difficult or possibly impossible. I think you would learn more about how your food intake influences your BG by...

Canned/bottled asparagus might be an option. It's found in most supermarkets.

I have peripheral arterial diesease as well as T2 and started increasing my consumption of fats after reading up on the evidence, and there's a lot of it, that suggests that fats do not correlate with morbidity. My lipid profiles have improved and are good as has my blood pressure which has...
