Thanks @Bluetit1802 . you are right we need to wait for the appointment with consultant. tehre are no reference ranges on the test results which is why we are slightly confused. the note from the consultant on the record says we are "insulin deficient" and not "insulin dependent" so kind of in...

yes it was...

thankyou. the test result said " low insulin level for Blood Glucose". Now I am not sure if that means once the BG level goes down the Insulin level is ok ? OR does it say insulin level is low so we are more of type 1 than type 2? Waiting for an appointment with a consultant...

Right so we had red kidney beans and were 9.4 two hours after dinner which is a bit of relief but still cannot understand the spike in the evening to 10.8? Any clues ?

Just when we thought we learnt a way forward something else unexplained comes along! So today after the salad lunch (about12:30) we were 6.5 at 2:30 pm . We had planned red kidney beans dinner . She came home and had some cucumber and cheese but we decided to test before dinner in order to...

good tips on house work but I do that anyway and she doesn't seem to mind the quality of food :) on a serious note - today is a much better day. break fast - some special rice flakes which we wanted to check as she loves them ( I know its bad but wanted to check how bad) - 6.1 before 10.1 after...

so we were told to go for c peptide test as that is used to differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2. Our readings are Insulin - 69 pmol/L C Peptide - 699 pmol/L We have no idea what the Normal readings should be but these are low as suggested by our nurse and she in turn checked with a...

Thank you. Her fasting readings are consistently below 7 . Normally between 5.5 and 6.5.

Thank you. That’s interesting about excercise on empty stomach. We are learning everyday and we didn’t See this coming! Anyway moving on we are planning for better meals today ! Will keep you posted . Thanks again ! And yes 30mins :)

Thanks. She’s my wife btw :)

THis test seem to have given not a lot of info as no one seems to know how bad the results are for us? Insulin 69pmol/l Cpeptide 699 pmol /l

u mean 16-24 gms of carbs?

Yep... is 2 mmols a strick range? it was a difference of 2.2 so I suggested she continues as it is something she loves.

It was Home made...

Normally het readings are below 7 and occasionally low 8s. We have been formally diagnosed as diabetic but no type defined yet so GP is assuming T2 unless the consultant (who we r yet to see) think otherwise. GP did say we are in between 1 and 2 . Not sure what that means?

Ok, she had a half a soup bowl ...so a medium portion

She had 6.5 before dinner and 8.7 two hours after. Dinner was - lentil soup . To be honest post lunch reading has thrown us back a little bit . Not sure why this would be ? Wondering if there is such a thing as “ ignore that one odd reading which doesn’t tie up with the food you had?”

Thanks for replying. I agree we should have tested before meal too. She went for a 30 month walk before lunch at noon and then had eggs. She didn’t had much breakfast either - again just 1 egg. I am trying to convince her to eat different foods which she does but today was one of those days...

I know we should have ideally tested before the meal as well but I can’t think of why it would be higher before the meal as she had her normal breakfast in the morning. Thanks

hi, we have been eating quite low carbs 30-40g / day) which seems to be largely working for us however sometimes we get a higher reading with no obvious reason. Today we had two eggs for lunch and tested 2 hours later which came out to be 9.1 which is higher than what we usually get? Any ideas...
