Only if you eat that kind of stuff! :shock: Home made and home produced is always best. :D

I am with you all the way - so if you find out what it was make sure you post it on here so we all know!! :lol:

Hi Sue :) It seems to me that you have more problems than any one person could reasonably be expected to deal with! :shock: :shock: I think that you just need to eat to your meter and if you can manage porridge with good enough BG levels and also keep well enough to enjoy life then I would...

Hi Geoff, If your results are accurate, which seems likely (assuming it was a GTT), then it looks like you are on diet and exercise by default rather than by design! :shock: If this is so then you cannot really afford the ".....meals high in carbs and fizzy drinks......" and will have to work...

Hi Frogs and welcome to the forum. :) Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the lack of good solid help so far! :roll: You sound as if you are cutting down on your carbs which help to reduce your BG levels and feeling rough because your body is not used to it yet and then you are topping...

Hi Caz. :) Well done on the numbers and the weight loss too! 8) To answer your question about the granary bread I expect the numbers probably would come down more but if you are happy where you are why would you want to wear sackcloth and ashes? :? You could just keep an eye on things...

Hi Sally I note that on 22nd June you said that you were waiting to go back to the gp so I take it that has not happened yet? I know it is frustrating and that when you are waiting and concerned everything seems to take forever but you have set the ball rolling so try not to worry. :) As a T1...

Hello Lindann and welcome. :D

Hi Frenchie, :) Glad to hear that you have an improved eating plan in place and that it is working for you. Well done on the weight loss - you are obviously doing very well already so keep doing what you are doing. :D You could do worse than reading the threads on the Low Carb Forum and also...

Hi Alan and thank you for posting your story. :) It just goes to show that we all need to take charge of our condition and not just assume that all is well! No-one else is going to be as interested in our health as we, ourselves, are. :roll:

I have been trying XyloBrit which is supposed to be "A natural substitute for sugar". It is hideously expensive so I have been using it very sparingly but it seems ok. Someone said that eating stuff with polyols gives you the polytrots so that is probably another good reason to keep it to the...

Funnily enough it puts my BG levels up so at present I tend to keep off it. Don't know why it should though. :?

Hi Suffolkboi, So sorry to hear that you are having such problems. Do go and see your doctor as soon as you can and get help. Let us know how you get on, we are all supporting you all the way. More <<hugs>> coming your way.

Re: metaformin .......here goes Hello again Paul. :) I think that you probably do. You are on to a winner as you have found your way to this forum which is a terrific resource, there is so much information which will really help you - but only if you follow it! I wish you all the very...

Hi Tigerlily :) If I were you I would go straight to your GP. I just googled the tablet and read the patient information which warns that care must be taken and says that you must tell your doctor if you have the following conditions - one of which is diabetes. Worth investigationg at the very...

Hi Dee :) As you have been diagnosed as T2 then you would be wise to follow the ‘Advice to new T2s’ which is usually posted by Ken and/or Sue, our Forum Monitors and so I will quote it below for you. Keep a food diary and note your BG readings against the food you eat so that when you get...

Hello again jayemm :) Posting on here does take a bit of getting used to and I still get it wrong - but it will come with practice I am told! :roll: A healthy diet is one thing but a healthy diet suitable for someone with diabetes is quite another thing altogether; you will probably find...

and there are lots of carbs in porridge, Sue, which is why so many of us can't eat it! :(

Re: metaformin .......here goes Hi Paul Your post intrigues me as you seem to state two very different things which would seem not be consistent. :? You first of all say that you changed your diet completely and then you say that you had a special 3 month diet to prepare for your Hba1c...
