Day 9... Yesterday bedtime <b>BS 10.8 </b> [:0] Too high! Got that Wetherspoon meal wrong. Gave myself <b>1 unit NR</b> correction. This morning <b>BS 6.7</b> [:0] Too high again! Don't like it when my BS is high, much prefer to be on the low side :evil: Had the day off work so went...

Day 8... Back to raw! Yesterday bedtime <b>BS 7.7</b> 8pm 3 units Levemir Felt like someone had stamped on my head when I woke up this morning, not helped by getting up at 3am to sleep on the sofa due to partner's beer-feast induced snoring :evil: Also looked very white, puffy and had...

Thank you so much, Dennis! Am just doing a big of googling on serotonin and it makes SOOO much sense. I have struggled for years with cravings no matter what type of diet I am eating, how healthily I am eating or how much I am exercising. I am so glad I started this thread, I am learning a...

Hi LadyJ Thanks for the encouragement. Once I have finished up my sugar tablets I probably will start experimenting with orange juice Hi Dennis That is really interesting...didn't think about serotonin. I definitely think you're onto something there. I have been in the habit for many...

Day 7... I was hoping to celebrate the end of my first entire week on 90% raw...but it was not to be :evil: I am not even going to post what I have eaten today because I am too embarrassed! Started off OK with a nice veggie juice for breakfast, melon and blueberries mid-morning, bananas...

Hi Fergus Your HbA1cs are really impressive, I hope I can achieve those kind of levels one day! Claire

Hi fergusc That's interesting that you were a vegetarian for so long. In what ways has your health improved since you went back to meat? I have had a couple of periods since my teens when I have tried meat again. One was a couple of years ago when I made a really determined effort to go...

Hi Russell Really enjoyed Brighton, thanks! Sorry to hear about your stroke, it sounds like things have been hard. But amazing that you have recovered so well. Is that really true about injected insulin destroying our beta cells [:0] That is shocking! I know we have no choice but to...

Hi Lady J Thanks for the link, was interesting to read Claire

Just got back from <b>my appointment with the dietician.</b> All in all, not bad. I had quite expected to get the standard "base your meals on lots of starchy carbs" that we all get at the dietician (I wonder how many on this forum do this - most people here seem to advocate low carb)...

Day 6... am reading <b>4.8</b>. Has to be the best next-morning reading after Wokmania yet! 9am breakfast at the hotel. Was surprised that they were doing really nice bowls of fresh fruit - melon, kiwi, orange, redcurrents, blackcurrents, strawberries. Had one of those, could really...

Day 5... Seems a long while ago now, not sure I can quite remember! Did my urine pH again this morning - wondered what the effect of yesterday's nut and wholegrain cracker pig-out would be. Came out at 6.25 [:0] Really bad! So, was it the nuts or the crackers, or both??? Breakfast 7am...

Hi Russell Thanks for your interesting and useful comments :) I agree about not bingeing :oops: But to be honest, compared to what I CAN binge on, a few nuts and wholegrain crackers too many is actually pretty good going! That is one of the reasons I am going raw - I am definitely a...

Day 4... Yesterday bedtime <b>BS 7.4</b> This morning <b>BS 3.9</b>...thought this was a bit strange as went to bed quite reasonable. But I do get up a couple of hours later at the weekend so often find my am readings are lower than during the week. Ate one small yellow plum to correct...

Dear all This was posted by someone on the raw food forum yesterday regarding diabetes type 1. Thought you might be interested... <i>I was doing research for my sis (she has type one) n this is what I found...hope it helps :) Stacey, We have two specific cases so far of Type-1 who...

Forgot to add that I will have my<b> 4 units Levemir</b> at 8pm then probably head off for a very early night...cold or detox whatever has knocked me out! Claire

Hi again Lady J Yes, I did know about the correlation of BS readings with hba1c...but I didn't know that 6 before a meal is considered OK. Thanks! I have been aiming to get between 4-5 before meals. Where did you get the information, I wouldn't mind having a look at it. Claire

Hi Dennis Yes, I am slacking off at work yet again :D Thank you for your concern about hypos. I agree, I think I have far too many of them. My problem is that often, had I had one unit of insulin less, I would be higher than I would like before meals. I have noticed that 1 unit of...

Hi Lady J We keep overlapping! Can't believe I am still tapping away on this forum when I should be working [:p] I can understand that this seems very drastic to many people. To be honest, to me it just kind of follows on from how I eat anyway. Really, this diet is not much different...

Hi Lady J Thank you for your interesting and useful comments ... and please let me apologise for the rudeness you got yesterday. Kind of feel bad because it was on a thread I started :evil: I feel that you understood what I am trying to do :oops:. I do know that it is a long shot that...
