From the site not the froum: I want below 6 ideally But yea I'm now on meds 2x 500mg of met per day. While its what I wanted anyway I do have to question my GP. He wanted me to go on meds as well but he reasoning worried me. He said my A1C was too high indicating that I had "poor" control...

Well its Pen Y Fan via the res route. Been up twice via that route already so I know that the route will be pretty demanding (check the contours for the first mile or so!). First time I went up I tweeked a muscle and had really bad cramp on the way down, so the second time I took some of the...

Cool, I'll do that then. The reason I ask is that I saw a lot of websites saying this can be dangerous

Doh sausage figures! I was going to try some flax meal recipes soon anyway so I'll add it to my list of things to try

Has anyone tryed this: http://video.about.com/lowcarbdiets/Foc ... -Bread.htm Looks like wholemeal bread but what does it taste like? Any idea how long it would last before going off/stale? Also while I am at it - how much is 1 cups of flax seed in real money (grams)?? Thanks

Hi, I plan on going hiking next weekend and being recently diagnosed I have been trying the low carb route. HoweverI was thinking it would be wise to have about 40-50g of carbs before walking for over 6 hours. Would it be wise to take more? It would be breakfast so what do you suggest for a...

Hi, Never cooking with this I was wondering if anyone has tried Nikuman with almond flour. Failing that do you think it could work? I was planning on making them before diag. Obviously now normal flour is out as I'm trying to cut as many crabs out of my meals as possible. I suppose the oyster...

Type 2 and no meds

Yea its an odd one - but I suppose it makes sence that there is a level at which you insulin production goes right down and before your liver kicks in. I wonder is the same is true when you get a low? Maybe someone knows of some medical research over it? Still its early days testing but I was...

Hi Pretty new to this, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I was wondering if there is a natural level your body thinks your BG levels should be at (even if this is wrong)? I have been doing some testing and I don't see much of a difference between my 1 hour and my 2 hour tests (sometimes...

Well my fasting test gave me 4.2 ........... thats really low. I suppose I should but that score down to the vast amount of exercise yesterday???

Well everything crossed...... Had a good day today. Only a little carbs and went for a walk along the thames for a good few hours.

Thanks Cliff I can't remember what the BG levels were on diagnosis...... however its something I will be getting. I'm fasting overnight tonight so I'll let you know how I get on. Currently I am at 6.1 after having a pre meal of 4.8 and a 2 hour of 6.3. I was not planning on giving up...

Well its the first time I have tested when walking. As I plan to make the best of the bank holiday and do the same tomorrow I will see if it has the same effect.

I'm self fast testing myself over night to see what I get. I know my HbA1c was over 10 when tested but I can't remember what the other vitals were. Mind you I was under a really bad cold when that happened. As far as the why - like I said - say I loose 10% of my body mass and that drops...

Well on other places I have read that they are on the high end. I know this site says 8-10 after 2 hours but the majority of other sites say 6-8 which puts me close to the high end and I'd like to make my levels as normal as possible. Maybr this is an over reaction but I was thinking that if I...

While it is my choice - I'd like to make an informed one and hearing other peoples opinions based on experiance is always the way to go of you ask me! I read somewhere that 90mins is a good time - but I can and will adjust.

Hi, Being diagnosed about 2 weeks ago I have been on a pretty steep learning curve over the last couple of weeks. My doctor has recomended trying just diet/weight loss first off. I have been testing my BG and generally speaking my before meal levels are high 5 to mid 6 and 90 mins after a meal...

Being new to this too I'm doing some testing. Does yours drop after a few hours? I walked for just over 4 hours today and was pretty bummed to find that my BG had only dropped about 1.5mmol .....however I started yawning a lot about 1.5-2 hours after and tested again - it had dropped down...

I asked the doctor and on a few forums and did not get a decent answer - Ally's and the advice in that link seem to be the best. Not being on meds or insulin I'm not as worried about deadly lows but I still want to avoid cramp. Doc suggested taking a bananna up ...... that does not work, it will...
