The reason I test 4 times a day is because that is what the consultant told me to do after I had a heart attack. He said it was to give my doctor an idea what was going on with my blood sugar. (I was not diabetic before the attack) As I said back to work on Monday and I'm trying to get a work...

I'm going to experiment today to see what my levels will be through the day after eating food I'll be eating during a normal workday.

The reason for asking is that I'm back at work on Monday. Testing times will have to be 6am, 1pm, 5.30pm and 10pm Feeding times will be 6am breakfast, 10am break, 1pm dinner 5.30 ish tea. During the day working I will be moving about doing this and that. My theory is that any IF any extra carbs...

Let me try and get this straight in my head. I test my blood four times a day (as instructed) If my blood sugar is between 5 and 7 then everything is ok? I've seen on here that a raise of 2 after meals is ok as well Am I right or have I got it wrong?

5.1 now. That muffin was nice :)

Just took me 5pm test. 4.1 Bit low so I've had a muffin and small glass of fizzy pop Test again at 5.30pm

When I was in hospital it went up to 23 after tea. The nurse said it was the bakewell tart and custard I had for pudding. I did'nt know about blood sugars at the time but I tell you what, it tasted great :) Banana's are out now and I'm looking for an alternative for pudding.

It does help a bit thank you. The 4 times I have to test is :- Before Breakfast Before Midday Meal Before Evening Meal Before Bed Saturday was my first day and since then my levels have been between 4.9 and 13.4 That 13.4 was a banana I had for pudding so that won't happen again. I noticed also...

I've been told to take my blood sugar reading four times day. On my diary it's been written that the levels should be between 5 and 7 Atm my levels are up and down depending what I'm doing. Would it be right in assuming that the average accross the day would be a good way of going?

Sorry for sounding thick but is that a round about way of saying my theory would'nt work? I'm talking about the muffin and manderine theory.

On the subject of the "MRS" The way we do things at home is like this:- I go out to work. "MRS" stays at home and works Her job is to look after the house, kids when they were at home. We work as a team. She loves cooking things for me. Now as far as cooking lo carb muffins we'd have to look...

If manderines are a bit much I'll have to find something else fruit wise. I tried a banana the other and me blood sugar went ape. Perhaps a banana would'nt spike me whilst I'm at work, but then again I could aply that to me manderines as well

Now that is a good idea. Instead of ham thins with all the bits that go with them. Cooked chicken breast. I've had a looksee and chicken breast has no carbs in at all. Revised sandwich box:- Two chicken breasts One baby bell One manderine pieces pot Two muffins 1 ltr no sugar diluted orange...

I'm asking for advice here. Normaly for work I take these items:- Two thins with three slices of square ham on each and cheese and onion sandwich filler. Two thin cheese squares One packet of cheese puffs Two home made muffins One carton of grapefruit segments Two chocholate buiscuit bars 1 ltr...

So a I can still eat the bad fat food within reason by my main goal should be to lower my carb intake?

How do I keep both camps happy? Is it just me or does everyone have the same problem?

So my lowering my fat consumption I will increase my blood sugar?

Now that has completly messed me up. Sorry if I'm going on but this is what I have on my plate. Last Tuesday I had a heart attack and the consultant told me :- 1) the attack caused my blood sugar to go up to an extent that I am type 2 diabetic. That I will need to keep my blood sugar down to...

Now that was VERY interesting. Thankyou for that. I'm just learning about carbs. Things that were mentioned I'd like to ask some questions about if I may? Bacon, Sausage,Cheese, Chocolate. To me these would be bad for me as far as the "fat" camp is concerned. Being high in fat would'nt be good...

I'm afraid my days of running are long gone.
