Hi all It’s me again. Does anyone on here log there food on a app like my fitness pal or noom or similar? I hear you all say healthy fats, eat more of but I’m now at the stage of what is a healthy portion of fats in a day. Today i was at 118g of fat, 78g of that in unsaturated. The rest...

Another question i have . At present I’m testing 2 hrs after my first bite. Most meals are 1hr long as i have issues with my throat. So this means it only has a 1 hours break from the carb intake. Would this make a difference on where i test? Is an hour long enough to tell me what it is...

Thanks for info on banana also, I’ve already removed this and lowered the potion size of the porridge. Much better reading. Another breakfast that came from the NHS which I’m starting to learn lots from, not! Have started to look on the forums here what are good breakfasts. Learning.

Thank you hsss . The measurements are confusing I keep thinking I’ve got it to realise I’ve not lol. I will keep in mind when quoting the finger prick measurement’s.

Thank you for putting that into perspective for me. I’m getting easier/relaxed on reading the figures but not quite got there yet.

Hi, newly diagnosed also. I’ve been using the Accu chek instant which is not the cheapest on the market @ up to £35.00 but is blue tooth and integrates with apple health quite nicely. Comes with it’s own app (my sugars) that gives you the options of including exercise,food details, carbs per...

Just tried out the hi-low bread that someone suggested on here. I tested on one slice yesterday with readings of [email protected] and aft @5.1mmol/l (8g carb)which i thought was a good rise. I pushed my luck today with readings [email protected] and aft 6.5 (13g carb)My thoughts are on the high end but still below...

Thank you for the reply Kenny. I think if today is anything to go by then i need to re look at my breakfast plans. Or repeat again tomorrow to just see if it is the same. Poss cut the banana. This is my highest meal of carbs through the day . I guess this would be an example where the HbA1c test...

I’m not sure if i should open a new thread to ask a different question but if i am please to educate me. Also thanks all for the great help you have been so far..[emoji4] Since learning that i am diabetic 5 months ago i have stuck to a breakfast of porridge and half a banana with almond milk...

I get why the carbs are relevant, forgive me if I’m lost again but why are calories not relevant?there kinda not relevant at the moment to me as I’m under weight but when i do gain weight and suss this new way of eating. When i do suss the balance out and stop losing weight. Will the calories...

Thank you for clearing that up. I’m easily confused lol.

Hi Kenny, thank you for the information. The 10.8 was my first reading and this was a HbA1c test. My current HbA1c test 3 months on is 6.3 -46mmol/mol from what is on my doctors records. This I’ve brought down with my carb intake of 15g or below per meal. My mid morning and lunch time are always...

Thank you oriental for taking the time to answer my questions, the info you gave me was helpful. As to the figures of mmol and mg/dl still trying to get my head round these ones on the conversion charts that I’ve found.

Thanks ajbod, you’re right on the balancing game and trying not to overdue on the other nutritions at the same time. Still losing at mo. Not found the sweet spot yet..

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I will try upping my proteins. Is there a limit on protein and healthy fats. I use an app currently to help with the dietary side and keep me on track

Newly diagnosed, posting for the first time. I was diagnosed in October with a reading of a HbAc1 of 10.8. A month later i went down to 9 and 3 months later I’m currently on 6.3. I was severely anaemic when this was picked up and my blood works were quiet all over the place. I had questions...
