That sounds so good! I am on 0.5 units per 10g and I REALLY want a half unit pen now!!! Will ring the hospital on Monday and speak to someone about it. Claire

Day 24... am <b>BS 4.7</b> Was going to bike into work today but decided to have a lie in instead as I haven't been feeling too good the past couple of days. Regretted not getting my exercise until I got in the car to go and the heavens opened...good decision! Drank my veggie juice in...

Hi Redathena I've read this book and liked it. The only problem for me was that I found I was eating so much fat just to get calories...so many avocados and coconuts and nuts. I know the book said that it doesn't matter, but I personally didn't feel comfortable with it. I did really like...

Hi Chocfish Thanks for the links...all very interesting :) Didn't realise there was another raw foodie on here, nice to know that I am not a freak lol come to think of it, I do remember reading about how you used diet to improve your diabetes. So what do you think about raw food...

Hi Dennis Thanks for the link! How are you doing? Claire

Hi LadyJ Just my attempt at being humourous...:D Claire

I eat lots of fruit and it causes me no problems, but I am on insulin...not sure what would be the best advice if you are not on insulin. Hopefully someone else might know! Claire

Day 22... What a day! :( Must be coming down with something. Woke up with BS at 10.4 and despite pumping insulin in all day stayed between 10 and 19 [:0] Also threw up a few times. Have never had anything like this since being diagnosed, but then again have not been ill yet as a...

Hi Val I can't imagine not having test strips and not knowing what is going on with my blood sugar. It must be very frustrating. As you will know if you have been reading my posts, I am testing every couple hours as I hate the thought of being too low or too high. I hope this kind of...

Hi LadyJ I'm not that far into London, I'm at Queen Mary's Sidcup. Studied at King's College, though! Hope you're feeling better Claire

Hi Val Thanks for your post! No, we didn't discuss individual eating styles at all as it was only 9:30-12:30 and the dietician had a very long lesson plan...ran over by half an hour as it was! It was nice, though, that the dietician running the group has seen all of us individually and...

Day 21... am <b>BS 4.2</b> Had time this morning to do some exercise, so ate a banana (no insulin), went for a quick walk (30 mins) and tried a little bit of running in with it. First time in over a year due to injured calf! Seemed OK, hooray! I miss my running. Will try to do a little...

Sorry, didn't get time to post yesterday so have two days to enter today... Day 20 am <b>BS 5.1</b> Decided to bike into school today (10 miles), drank a glass of orange juice to fuel the journey. <b>No insulin</b>. Stopped halfway as I felt like I was getting a bit low and wanted to...

Moreno... To be honest, I wasn't too clear what you meant in your post, so forgive me if I've got the wrong end of the stick....but were you saying I am trying not to eat???!!! Have you actually read my posts???!!! I love my food (a little TOO much actually) and I think you would realise if...

Day 19... Well, something I ate yesterday definitely didn't agree with me. Don't know whether it was the dried apricots or maybe the olives at the restaurant as they were very heavily marinated and certainly not raw in any case. Felt just like I used to in the morning - pale, pasty, puffy...

Have you tried using agave syrup? It's a sweetener from a cactus plant which is natural and doesn't affect blood sugar levels. Also tastes fine. I'm not sure how much you'd need for a cake as I don't do any baking, but you might be able to experiment/find a recipe! You can get agave syrup from...

Day 18... Slept badly last night :evil: Lad next door had his 16th birthday party. He was polite enough to come round and warn us, spent about ten minutes going on to my partner about how there ARE nice, considerate kids around after all (we both work with stroppy kids all day!) but changed...

Day 17... Good decision not to do a correction last night...this morning <b>BS 4.3</b> Forgot to say yesterday that I measured my pH to see whether the muffin episode had affected it - and it had, I was acidic again (6.5). Was back up at 7.0 this morning. Would like to be more 7.2/7.4...

Thanks for that link..I will be pushing for one :D Fergus, I have the same problem that 1 unit change either way can throw me out! Claire

That sounds good, shadow! Better than when you were posting before :D Did you decide what to do about injecting at school? Claire
