Re: omg just started having porridge and blood sugars rocket I have porridge every morning and I have no problem with my BG spiking. I eat the orignal individual sachets from Scotts porridge oats, with semi skimmed milk and nothing else. can I just ask a quick question? When you read the...

Sue I think youll find that most T2's can consume the same amount of alcohol as an non diabetic. In fact, most say it helps lower thier BG. Obvisouly staying within the goverment guides lines :wink:

Like most people on here, I have read and read as much as I can about diabetes. I have also listened to doctors and nurses, I have tested in the morning, 2 hours after meals, 3 hours after meals, and Diabetes.co.uk are even suggesting testing 5 hours after a meal! surley by 5 hours you are...

Just an update on my KFC diet. On friday night 2 hours after eating my variety meal my BG was 6.5, and after 3 hours it was down to 5.9. I also lost 1lb last week. :)

Cheers lovinglife it does sound to good to be true, but I will test after 3 and 4 hours. :wink: But this is where this illness really pi**es me off, there is so many different scenarios. We are told to test 2 hours after a meal, but for some meals this might not be a true refelction, and we...

11 months into being a type 2 diabetic, and so far so nearly good. I'm still controlling it with diet and excercise, and testing 2 -4 times a day. Just a wee word of warning to some people who think that they have beaten it, you haven't. Thats the way I felt coming up to Xmas. my levels where...

Well done Daz!! I had my 3 month check last week, and my results where 6.0, cholesterol 4, triglycides 1.7. I thought this was great, and so did the Dr, but then she said about putting me on Metormin :? . I said why would I go on drugs when my levels are good? So she reluctantly agreed. But when...

As I said in another post, we are so lucky in Northern Ireland as we don't pay for our prescriptions, and I have no problem with my GP prescribing them. But it does make me feel uneasy/guilty that the likes of pensioners on the mainland have to pay, seems so unfair :cry:

Cheers cearapeter!! I really don't know what I would have done if I had not found this site, it really has been a God send. One of the big things I have noticed, is that we are lucky in Northern Ireland as we don't have to pay for our prescriptions, and I have no problem with my GP prescribing...

I was testing myself 4 times a day to see what was good and what was bad, but as I'm more or less sticking to the same foods, and since my BG seems to have leveled out, for the last couple of weeks I have only been testing myself first thing in the morning, and once in the evening. My BG on a...

Hi Synonym, My only fasting diagnosis was 15. The first test I did at the doctors I wasn't fasting, but the Gp still wanted to test me, and my average self fasting tests in the morning is the 5.1 that I quoted. I'm 5' 7", and at the start of the year I was 15st and am now down...

Hi all! I first thought I had diabetes at the end of January this year. it started with the compulsive thirst, then a sudden loss of weight. I think like most people now days my first point of call was the internet, which more or less confirmed my thoughts. I made an appointment with my...
