Ha! They chase me in my sleep.

Thank you @daisy1

@sally and james Thank you for your advice. At the moment food is a little confusing so I may give the glucose testing a try. Worried I'll obsess about the numbers because I always obsess - had to take the battery out of the bathroom scales as I was getting weighed twice a day :)

Well done :)

That's really kind of you.

Hi, I'm new to diabetes but, like yourself, am managing it with diet and exercise alone. My nurse said I didn't need to use a blood sugar meter (my score was 49) and I'm actually relieved, makes it feel a little bit less like an illness. So in answer to your question, I suspect it's standard.

I'm new to this but roughly between 25 to 50 carbs.

I get very tired due to stress/depression but have found since following a low-carb diet (for one week so far) that I have more energy. I do however have a ton of weight to lose and having lost half-a-stone so far I think that has helped my energy levels. Hopefully it's an anomaly.

Chook, that sounds delicious.

New here and newly diagnosed so would appreciate anyone pointing out any food errors. This is what I had yesterday: Breakfast: Slice of Melon and Italian Herb Ham Mid-Morning Snack: Tangerine Lunch: Oak Smoked Salmon, Watercress, Baby Spinach, Tomato & Spring Onion, dash of low-fat dressing...

I'm new both here and to diabetes so continuing success stories such as this are a real boost. Congratulations.
