Would a muller fruit corner do the job if live yoghurt is out of stock? :( :)

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio After a 6.2 this morning I had a large ham and rocket wrap and then went for a decent walk for a hour. Came in and banged in a 4.8...... What the flip? I'm on a starve tonight, in readiness for a blood test at the docs tomorrow. I'm...

Jon. We all get fed up.... But you appear to be well past this. My advice would be to express these thoughts to your GP. It could be that your DM is causing other issues. Being a bit low is common- any further needs the intervention of professionals. They will look at your situation in a none...

That is brilliant. Do you mind me asking, how many carbs did you limit yourself too?

I had " jock itch" a few months ago, which made me question my previous fasting glucose results. Canestan fixed it... Jock itch is bloody awful and really does have a most horrible smell. I shan't describe it but.... Do google it.

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Yeh... I've been reading about citric acid and how it can help. I'm a merrydown man to be honest.... though the Stella cidre is acceptable. I get their point with the weight and shape. Whilst I'm the usual type 2 " shape" ... That...

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Hi and thanks for the link! The breakfast thing is quite interesting.., I recently popped in a 6.8 a that was in the mid afternoon, with nothing since e night before, except a glass of low sugar vimpto. My weight loss has stopped-...

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Hi all, I've had my met for just over a week now. My average BG fig has dropped from 8.1 to 7.6. In week one I had two 10+ figs with the lowest night time being 7.2. My pre breakfast figs have an average of at 8.3 and my pre bed have...

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Halli, that's a very good point. However, my own fear is if I get pushed onto meds- where does it end? I'm not afraid of some of the possible side affects of metformiin ( flatulence) .... as being a bloke with a 16 and 7 year old...

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Hello sir! Thanks for this. I was reading a paper on exercise v weight (bmi) and it does appear that exercise plays a massive part in reducing bg levels. That in itself is obvious... But not the weight bit. I'm now into a routine of a...

Re: 1st week BG numbers and likelihood/benefits of medicatio Hi, even with my limited knowledge.... The Nos speak for themselves as does the trend. How much exercise are you doing and what type? I'm seeing what 20 mins of anaerobic (resistant ) exercise does, 11/2 hours after dinner. Of...

Many low carb foods are also low calorie. There's the explanation. That said, something tells me that to "burn fat " you had to eat fat. There's the conundrum. I did the Atkins about 10 years ago. I lost a shedload of weight ( which I put on after) but lived on chicken, eggs, fish, meat etc.

I went through a load of strips last week, due to me leaving my iBGStar in the car. They took an age to warm up, with me resorting to leaving my strip pot open on a radiator for a while. Bloody annoying and will keep them in my pocket from now one.

We do have a lidl but it's on the other side of town .... Will have a look. D

Well.... I fell off the wagon tonight, about 1/2lb of roast lamb (with rocket, of course), on Two tortillas with chilli chutney! But... It would have been a packet of oat/ ginger biscuit, immersed in a litre of milk.... Blended into a shake... a few weeks back! As I've been bad, I'm having a...

Have a look at the hairy dieters's latest book. It's packed with some excellent low calorie and many low carb meal ideas. Imagine, a full tin of tuna, a big handful of rocket in 1/2 a tortilla for about 250 kcal. That us very healthy and extremely filling! I've used up my original set of strips...

Hi nick, I'm far from an expert in this... But how is your weight? Is it dropping due to a conscious effort on your side? (I've not been diagnosed YET.. though my doc seems to be itching to do so.... My figs are only 5 to 10ish) Could it be that your reduction in carbs ( you'll have read the...

That's a good question. I take it that after would mean once consumed.

I do appreciate the advice and it does tally with my thoughts. The gym in the guest room has been neglected but won't be from tonight..... I might dust it and check the pulleys! The weight thing is frightening, especially when it's put into context, though some on this initial loss will be...

After showing a 12 hour fast of 5.3 mmoll the other morning- I woke up at 6 am today with a lovely 9.2! As I only had mussels- with a couple of lumps of brown bread ( that might be a clue) my post meal ( 2 hours) was 8.4! I am becoming resigned to the fact that I will be shown to have some...
