Thanks for your quick replies. You are right, I should stop worrying! I do occasionally test after 3 hours. About a week ago I had too much naan bread, and i was 9.5 after 2 hours (Highest I have had), but back to 6.3 after 3 hours. Won't be doing that again! I have the Hbac1 this Wednesday...

Hi All Now 2 months into testing, and quite happy, average for 14 days now 6.3. However, I was wondering if I should test later than 2 hours. Example. Last night I had a meal (Some beef wellington, some boiled new potatoes, plus vegetables), that was about 60g of carbs. Before my reading was...

Hi Shall It does take a while to get your numbers under control, and time for the metformin to take full effect. When I started it took about 3 weeks (I was not testing initially) to get to the stage of no sugar in my uring, although the symptoms of thirst and night time toilet visits only took...

Hi Grazer It's 20.1 grams for both slices combined, so each slice is just over 10, which is a lot lower than other bread.

Hi All I struggled with bread after diagnosis, as it was something I used to love. I tried the burgen bread, but to me it tasted awful. My wife found something called Warburtons Sandwich Thins in a supermarket, apparently they are near the pitta breads. They are like a small slice of bread...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.2, fairly typical for me.

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 5.9 this morning, first time in the 5's in a morning. Really fed up last night. Had my normal curry with a v small portion of rice. My wife had a bit of nan bread, and I stupidly ate the rest as I was hungry. Result was 9.5 after 2...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.1 for me, but didn't wake up until 9.30... That's pretty good for me, but I am never over 7 in the morning. 14 day average now 6.2, including post-prandial. Colum, you may want to make your post the start of a new thread, you...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.2 this morning, which is a little bit lower than normal, but I am always in the 6's Quite pleased with my post prandial at the moment. Last night I was 5.4 before, 7.3 after 2 hours, and 5.4 again after 3, and that was with having...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.6, which is fairly typical for me. Had a 4.9 before dinner yesterday, which I was quite pleased with.

For the last two weeks I have been attending a course in Bucks designed for new type 2 diabetics. There are four 2 hour sessions. The first one was a basic introduction, which was fine, although the woman was very hard to understand, and kept referring to 'god' and the the 'man upstairs who...

Been testing for 3 weeks now (with a 3 week holiday in the middle), but becoming confused by a lack of movement post-prandial. For example, yesterday ate the 15 carbs for breakfast, and 35 for lunch. Then tested before eating, 6.7 (Which I thought was too high, but it had been a very busy...

Many thanks for the replies, very helpful as always!

As discussed by other people, tear it up and throw it away. They will then write to you twice more, then give up. Please do not waste your energy with these people, just bin it.

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.9

As I mentioned on an earlier thread, I have just started testing with a contour meter. Two weeks later my overall average is 6.5, and I am testing on waking, before dinner and 2 hours after. My main observations, with a couple of questions, are - My morning readings vary from 6-7, never over...

Hi Flyerphil Very interesting post. I think it depends on your diabetes. Everyone is different, and some thin people have poor BS control and need medicine. However, for some people it is very weight related, and I think that may the case with you, and perhaps with me. I have lost 47lb since...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn First morning test - 6.4 Not sure if that is great or not. I was 6.5 last night at 11.30, 2 hours after a fairly carby but healthy grilled chicken kebab with salad.

Totally agree that thrush is nothing to be embarrassed about. (Although I used to get my wife to buy the canestan) :oops: I had recurrent thrush prior to diagnosis in March. However, once I got my levels under control and started losing weight it has gone away and not come back. May not be...

Thanks for the replies. Hallii, thanks for the comments re the whisky. However, after an incident involving 21 vodka and cokes when I was 19, I no longer drink spirits (and that was 32 years ago!) However, I will try in with a glass on Sancerre! Due to complete incompetence I only managed...
