Tried fasting on a hot day, the most stupid thing I've ever done.

Wish I read the advice on diabetes and hot weather. Got a high of 12 yesterday afternoon sitting in the sun, started to panic as I needed to drive home.drank plenty of water but it didn't have much effect. Today I've been in the 9s again panic and drinking water but after a check on...

Yes today my BG level is higher than normal but at 30 degrees today no surprise.

licklemoose...Can't eat grapes makes my BG go loopy. My nurse said freeze some grapes to curb my desire for sweeties. Two or three in the evening and WHOOPS. That wont happen to everybody thou.

snowysandie Please behave and get with the program I thought I could just take it easy and still do as I like then ended up in hospital, even at my age I still do stupid things but there is a pay back. Get it together and enjoy life.

Hi Juju13 Been there even had to put a hold on going shopping afraid to leave home but after a couple of weeks on Slow Release everything is OK. If your not on SR metformin I think you had better ask your Doctor. Best of luck

Great results and well done but the hard bit is to keep it going but again well done

Hi there I got to say that when I get a 4 then I would slowly sip on a glass of milk, can't drink it too quick or I'll trow up. Always worth a re-check if you get odd numbers fell for it myself today got a high of 9.8 after dinner re-test after washing my hands and got a 5.4 mmmmmm that's better.

I agree with what you say as it was after my second 90 day check up and told that the overall BG WAS 12 so I felt I need to do better but may have tried too hard and the impact has to quick.

Hi yes I have only just become aware about wheat sugar that's used as artificial sweetner. I need alot more information before I go full out again on low carb. My metformin has been adjusted to 2 a day as I do behave with a sensible diet so I may not take a pill if my dinner is fish which I know...

Thank you for that. Not sure if I want to give it another chance yet, got to read more before I give it another try. Alcohol has long been of the list as it was recommended by the doc as it can reduce the effect of metformin. I can't remember if I was eating nuts as part of a low carb but I take...

Followed a guide on DIET DOCTOR found a link on the forum but maybe tried to hard to cut carbs. Couldn't test for ketones but BG was 22 and passing water every 10 - 15 min thought it might be a good idea to take myself of to the walk in centre were they retested and told me it was 30 mmol check...

Big love to you I feel for you at the moment as I have kids and I know how it feels that you should protect them but this one seems you can't control but yes you can It's a learning curve and everybody has got to be onboard My sister has been type1 for twenty years and myself type2 diagnosed a...

Hi ClareBearJ. This happened to me also but with the change to slow release things did settle down but yes it took more than a week.

Hi all Thi Hi all. This thread I will keep an eye on as before Christmas I tried a low card diet and ended up in an ambulance on my way to A/E with high BG and ketoacidosis and contant need for the toilet. Best of luck to all who can low carb but not for me.

Pleased your OK now So it's not just me that gets court out however I can't compensate with insulin I have to drink gallons of water to get my numbers down but I do fear if it happens when I'm driving.

I guess I've still got some issues to work out. Sunday I drove to my Girlfriend just half an hour away round the M25 the traffic was bad with people in the middle lane at 60 hogging the road. I tested in the morning to see what sort of breakfast I could have and all was good yet when I arrived...

Thanks Monav. My brother died a few weeks ago and yes my numbers were all over the place but they had settled down this week and I was so pleased and relieved so I was so surprised that a salad can catch me out. Guess the stress is still there as he was younger than myself with heart problems...

Hi... yes it did have honey so I only used a small amount. I was unaware that such a small amount could make such a big change. Many thanks Kristin251 I had no idea that lettuce could give you a spike and the effect of a little dressing answers my question,I thought I was being good. There are...
