Not seen them before. Look great. Will have a look into it. Thanks x

I never used to have breakfast, I used to fast til about 1. I've been advised to have breakfast and test 7times a day till bloods are lower. Could I test on waking then leave breakfast and then test before dinner. I'm hoping to do keto if I can. Carbs don't agree with me so far x

How do you make this please? X

I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you so much. I love bacon and eggs but need some variety. Thanks!!

Boiled eggs could also be a good breakfast option? I'm rushed on a morning with organising and getting 3 children ready( one with additional needs), so cooking myself breakfast before school run is not always something I do. I really must start this new year being more organised.

Thank you. I think I will do that also. That's a great suggestion for me. I like boiled eggs but they are not top of my favourites list, so this would work nicely. Can I ask what sauces everyone uses? I've seen a few mention mayo etc .. are they not sugar filled? X

Will have the "sandwich" option you described, later today! I hadn't thought to do that. I'm enjoying not having bread etc so far.

They are great ideas I hadn't thought of. I do have scrambled egg with mushrooms or omelette with cheese. I guess there are lots of variations I can have. Thanks

No there is no logic in it to be honest. For a long time I believed that I could manage this by cutting sugar and lowering carbs (not by alot). Totally wrong info to believe and yes it made things worse. But sandwiches and jacket potatoes were my go to foods when in a rush, hungry or just didn't...

I'm testing on waking, 2hrs after breakfast, before eating dinner, 2 hrs after eating, before tea, 2 hrs after tea and then before bed. I'm keeping a food diary also so I can look at what foods are good and which aren't. My main issue is remembering to take the gliclazide before a meal rather...

Thank you very much for all the advice. Will take all this and board, and start this long journey on the right foot. This site is amazing for info so far, thank you. I'm going to start basic and then adapt my meals to be more interesting as I get my levels down. [emoji846]

Also I meant to ask before, has anyone tried the path to remission, the NHS diabetes shakes and soup plan? What are your thoughts and does this work? This was briefly mentioned during a telephone call with the pharmacist in my GP surgery but not sure if it's a good option or not? X

I enjoy doing low carb, but find meals limited so end up having a sandwich or jacket potato when I know I shouldn't. I'm not a great cook, and don't experiment with foods very often but that's something I need to change. I really love fasting, I've done it alot in the past. I don't know if I can...

My hba1c has come back at 124. I'm due to see diabetic nurse in early Jan, also the GP wants to see me early Jan. This appointment was requested before the results were back so I'm not entirely sure what that appointment is for as usually the diabetic team deal with all my appointments. Anyhow...

There's been a delay in appointments, due to staffing issues and being unable to attend the one I had booked due to son being unwell.. anyhow..I've picked my hba1c results up. Last time I had it checked I believe was near on a year ago. Was 119 then... Now it's 124 [emoji20][emoji20]. Not seeing...

I'm taking 1 a day and usually before dinner. Day 5 of 7 today so I've lots of things still to test. I've never had lower than a 7.7 and it did go back up after that but will keep a very close eye on it. Great news you were able to come off them, well done!

Yes I agree, I was looking through my numbers on meter from when I was testing back in January/Feb time They are alot lower than they were. I have to stick at it this time. They tested me for other things and thyroid etc due to the hair and weight loss. All came back fine. I've noticed that's...

So is it worth testing again, trial and error? What would be a good number to expect please?

I didn't know this. I'm going to have to look at more detail. I'm going shopping tomorrow so any advice/tips/suggestions are welcome. I appreciate all the advice from everyone so far. I think I may have to go low to no carb for a while to get this sorted. I'm in bed now and at last test it was...

Just looked, it's 4.7 per 100ml. I only had a small drink but this could be why then
