What’s wrong with water?

Why are you giving an 18 month old 6 cups of squash a day?

It all counts but no reason why you can’t have extra on training days to offset the extra exercise. Go with what your meter tells you.

I have alternatives instead, 85% choc with hazelnuts, peanut butter on livlife toast, high protein low carb bars, puddings, that sort of thing.

Make your own, do a search for a low carb recipe, there are loads to choose from. If you can get in the habit of cooking things you like from scratch you will find sticking to any diet easier.

I think if they dropped the price the increase in orders would cover the difference. If it was cheaper I'd use it more often. Due to its unreliability (I've yet to have one that's lasted the full 2 weeks) I only use them occasionally.

I had the normal jab today and BG has been lower than usual.

Tried it, BG was OK with 4 bottles, but thought it tasted of, not much. Similar to Coors Lite. Marstons Resolution is similar carb count but has more taste, difficult to find though, you may need to order it direct from the internet.

The short version. Test your BG, eat, test again 2 hours later, gone up by more than 2, eat something else. Gone up by less than 2 stick with it. Dietdoctor.com has a two week starter menu, a good place to start.

The only thing I’d like to add is try eating food you like diet doctor has some great recipes pick one you like the look of and give it a go. Shredded cabbage fried in butter a cream and tomato sauce with meatballs or some other meat is a good alternative to pasta.

Between 9 - 12 first thing in the morning seems high to me, is this fasted? I'd complain about the receptionist.

To me it looks like your already taking too much medicine, but it sounds like you know that yourself. I think stronger medication would make it worse. You should do what you think is best for you rather than listen to anybody else, including me but my advice would be to reduce the meds’ and the...

What where the numbers before and after a typical meal and what was that meal

I’d call 111 nhs advice number

My simplified take on it is that if you start out low then once it realises your exercising your liver will dump stored glucose into your blood or make some by breaking down your muscles. Once you finish these can then be restored with whats left over and future food. If you've eaten some carbs...

Sounds like your doing great. There are no set numbers or time scales as everyone is different. Just keep doing whats working and you will kill this. I think number 1 diet, 2 exercise, 3 drugs, is whats doing it for you. Remember long term health is always the goal.

I'd be wanting to cut down on the insulin with the goal of coming off it altogether longer term, if possible. To try to do this I'd carb count and test lots. Only you can decide if your happy at your current weight. Health is the most important thing not a number on the scale for me. I think a...
