Hi Greg and welcome to the forum! :) Looking forward to your posts.

That sounds more like torture :!: :lol:

Welcome andyh5636 :) and well done on getting control! 8)

Hi Kevsul :) If you don't test you won't know what you can tolerate and what your food does to your BG levels - so test and see! Ken/Sue's advice is absolutely spot on and if you follow it carefully you will be in control of your condition and avoid the complications. 8) Your diabetes...

Hello lionheart :) A couple of questions :?: Do you self test? Have you been able to monitor what happens to your levels by testing before exercising and at intervals afterwards?

Up to now I have just started at the top and read all the active posts in each section and worked down. Now, having ‘noticed’ the links you have pointed out, Sue, I may do it differently. Funny how you sometimes just don’t see things which are right under your nose! :roll:

Hello Fiona and welcome. :) No advice to offer as I have no experience of T1 but just saying hi and hope things all get much better for you very soon. :)

Hello Kathryn Rose and welcome to the forum. :) Sorry to hear of your health issues but it may be that finding your way here will be one of the best things to happen as there is so much information and help here. I don't suppose that the doc told you exactly how to eat and live as if you do...

Just thought I would say that I can get more on my spoon than on my finger!! :wink: :roll: :D

Hi Murphybear and welcome. :) I agree with Carty and you could find out quite a bit as regards your BG levels with minimum outlay. However, as you have quite a bit of weight to lose you could make a big impression on your health care team if you lose a good bit of that in fairly short order...

Hello again pollyr :) How did you get on at your appointment :?: Hope all is well.

Hi Tony :) If your BG levels have been high for a while you will feel just as bad as they start coming down. It does get better! Do follow the ‘Advice to newly diagnosed T2s’ which Cugila posted on your other thread as it will help you enormously. 8) Make sure that you eat enough but be...

As lovinglife says there is no such thing. :( We are all created unique and all react totally differently to foods. Some of us can tolerate more carbohydrate than others and until you test your BG levels before you eat and then 2 hours afterwards you won't have a clue as to what you can...

Restless legs drive me mad and cause me to lose loads of sleep but it clearly is not to do with diabetes as the legs are my husband's not mine. I don't know about a cure but I have considered a well aimed mallet! :lol: :roll:

My own Hba1c at 5.5 is pretty good at present and naturally I would prefer it to go down rather than up! :roll: However, since life is not like that and is actually full of ups and downs I just hope to stay well enough, and stress-free enough, to keep it under control. You just don't know what...

Hi Gill :) It is the average. This page will give you a good outline: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html

I don’t really think that whether one forum member convinces another about LC/HF is a good enough reason to use it yourself. We are all so very different and before trusting any regime with your future health one should always ‘test and see’ very carefully. You don't actually know anyone on this...

I think you are right and would also agree that erring on the side of caution is the best approach. :)

:shock: :shock: That just goes to show how different we all are! If I have any of those starchy carbs at all then my BG levels soar theough the roof. :(

Re: Taking Cinnamon Just pinch your nose! :roll: :lol:
