I try to lighten things up., Jam. This chronic condition can be so soul destroying that a bit of 'humour' can sometimes help.

Jam, I find that a coffee enema helps with my digestive tract... So much so that I'm now banned from every Costa Coffee shop in the UK ;-)

ahh...your walk dropped your BG. That's bloody excellent. Sorry!

Sorry, I'm lost here. Was the walk after your porridge? One thing, if porridge does ( in effect) double your BG level ( it won't just be that, I think..your liver will most likely have dumped fuel) then I wouldn't touch porridge. Turkey 'bacon', mushrooms, poached eggs and plum tomatoes may...

Bang on! I agree totally.!

I would test regularly for a short while, in order to get a better picture of what foods and/or exercise effect your readings. With that you can have a **** good idea where you are at any given time. I would agree that testing in the morning is a good idea ( I always do) as it will set you off...

The thing is that you do know what has spiked you and you can address that. However 9 isn't too bad at all. Likewise, your starting figs are excellent...so you are well on the way.

Hahahahah...I'll be bloody 15st again if I do that too often. many thanks though, it was a hell of a shock. Wish I'd had a desert now. ;-)

Thank you to you both. Flora, don't worry about which league you think you may be in...at least you're on the pitch, enjoying the game! Instead of being in the crowd telling all and sundry how **** the game is...Jam, keep the faith....it will come.

Bloody HELL!! Now at 6mmol. Whether that is a 'cure', 'reversal' or 'remission' that is an incredible figure, considering the carbs I took in. I thoroughly appreciate that this result may rub salt into the wounds of a few readers...However, I hope that it's taken in the way that it is meant to...

Oh balls! I've had a 1/2 a weekend off and just returned from a decent meal ( garlic bread..it's the future ...calamari, porterhouse steak, chips, fried onion stack and 11/2 pints of Amstel.)l I've just tested my bloods and I've hit 9, albeit after a hour. Sure, it's not mega high but unless it...

I might just try this exercise malarkey. [emoji6] TBH I usually do 20+ miles a week ...but I seem to have frozen my toes, probably chilblains. I will see the Dr just in case. I can't see it being a major issue with blood circulation, as I'm 'blessed' with hairs on each toe joint...this...

Weekly??? Bloody iPad. I wish you all well.

I agree but let's pls not turn this into a dispute, we are all in this together. I got the book the moment it was released by ITunes and have stuck to this diet....NO...a revised lifestyle...for about 3 weeks now. My weight loss has also stalled and I'm damned by my own advice that the hardest...

Nope! It's definitely the former. Two further tests have been 4.4 and 4.5 mmol. Both within tolerance..

Brillo...sometimes a break is all that's needed. My bloods are now 4.5mmol. It's either due to liver processing over 3/4 of a bottle ( the better half had a glass) of fruity alcoholic goodness ( so is ignoring the sugars) OR I've found a cure. Hope it's the latter, suspect it's the former.

Could it be liver dumping? This used to happen to me, with BG levels increasing throughout the day with no food. Could this be related to "fright or flight" which is a stress on getting body.

After a stressful week, I've blobbed on the diet for the day and downed half a bottle of Procesecco QUICKLY ...but will take my bloods in a hour. ;-) Bloods after my 'tea' ( the lower classes may be reading :-) :-) ) were only 5.1 so I may have some room for an ickle drink. I wish you all well...

....worse than a paper cut?
