The carbs are 6g per 100g and 4g per drink. I didn’t finger prick test but my libre gave multiple readings in the low 10s. I did drink one yesterday and didn’t get a huge spike, so I’m gonna put it down to DP going crazy.

I was 5.6 at 5:30 this am. 6.6 at 7am when I took insulin and had breakfast, I had my normal protein yogurt and tea with cream, the only new thing was the benecol yogurt drink. 8:55 I was 10.3 The day before it didn’t raise my sugars so I’m gonna guess that DP decided to throw a spanner in the...

As I’ve had my doctor trying to give me statins for cholesterols for a year and having just started LCHF. I’m a bit worried that my next appointment will be all about the cholesterol. I started drinking the benecol strawberry yogurt drinks. This morning my sugars shot up above 10, after...

5.6 at half 5 this morning. I’d have easily taken a 6 something in exchange for a couple more hours of sleep mind. Off out today and I’m sure those couple of hours will hit me at some point. Hope everyone has a good day today.

If you’ve got time take a browse of Bills travel thread, maybe start from the end to the middle. He’s done lots of touring trips in many different countries, the first pages are his early life, but the pages numbers in the teens are ones from travelling with diabetes. I’m working through it as...

Congratulations Mr & Mrs PenguinMum

5.7 this morning. Decided that because of the weather and been trying to get to the shop for 2 days to order from prime now, bit of a pain as I can’t get all that I want and have to buy other bits to spend enough to get delivery. But I cba to go out getting wet or blown away.

@SaskiaKC I’m getting the feeling I’ve opened a can of worms here. Lol

Test Edit, found out how to do animated smilies. I used this site http://yoursmiles.org/ then just copied the ubb code when I picked a smiley. Group hug code (url=http://yoursmiles.org/t-hug.php)(img)http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/hug/t4624.gif[/img][/url] Change the ( ) to [ ]

Tbh I’m glad you pointed out to me the risks of spiking my sugars @jjraak, I would have likely slipped into bad habits too easily. Being once a weeks is ok, then something else, and could have quickly slipped that slippery slope down to multiple times a week.

@jjraak thanks for all that info, tbh I kinda thought that if I’m low (6-8) most of the time it won’t hurt as a one off. I think I’d take the Diet Coke if my migraines weren’t so keen to get involved as soon as I have any diet or zero drink because of the sweetener used. Being that I don’t drink...

6.1 this morning, despite going out last night. Try as I might I can’t bring myself to give up the full fat coke on a Friday night out. But I figured if my numbers are mostly 6-8 most of the time hitting 12 for a short period one night a week shouldn’t be too bad.

Thanks! It’s not been too hard actually, I’ve switched to having a protein shake or protein yogurt for breakfast, and maybe a babybel or two. Lunch is kinda what they provide but I buy bags of microwave veggies to add to it, if the meat is not suitable then I have sandwich slices of chicken and...

@carol6168 as blood tests can probably test for 1001 things we don’t know what tests were done on your blood and what it showed, likewise, urine can show different things depending on what’s being looked for. It is possible for diabetes to damage the kidneys, I’ve been put on a blood pressure...

6.2 this morning when I woke up, but promptly went back to sleep. Another day or 2 and I may be back to my old routine of actually staying awake all day.

Sorry I been awol for a few days, seems I need a holiday to get over my holiday! 6.9 this morning, was lower when I woke up at 5am but went back to sleep.

Well when the hospital cancelled my operation in mid July, I asked for help getting my blood sugars down, I just got an appointment at the hospital diabetes team for the end of October.

6.7 this morning, at home, back to my normal routine, no bacon, egg and sausages for breakfast this morning. I was pretty good on holiday keeping low carb for the most part, a couple of panini and battered fish ‘n chips were my main indulgences.

Well I can’t remember seeing a GP about diabetes, I think I got a letter from my surgery telling me to book an appointment with a nurse at the surgery that deals with diabetes. I saw her every 3-4 months after blood tests where she upped my tablet medication. Then I got to a point where she...

I know in your other post you said you don’t want to end up on insulin, but if your misdiagnosed LADA or type 1, insulin is the only way forward. You already seem to have a good handle on T2 eating but it’s no longer working, which makes me wonder if it’s something other than T2 at play here. If...
