I take a boiled egg

Yes, I tried a grape to see what would happen (note the singular) and it put me up to about 13. Never again.

Yes, welcome to the forum: it's always hard when you're first diagnosed, but when you follow the lifestyle tips and learn how to handle your condition, it's really quite possible you will end up feeling better than you have for years. You've already improved your blood sugar levels a lot, so...

Yes, one bit of good news is that a low-fibre diet can be optimal for t2 diabetes. Fruit and grains raise your blood sugar greatly, pulses are also best avoided. My cardiologist tells me to stick to lean meat and vegetables- when I follow his advice, my numbers are good. I like leafy veg or...

Could it be Seventh Day Adventists? They tend to be big on pushing cereals, wholefoods and veganism- a lot of the big name American vegan proselytizers are linked to the Seventh Day Adventists.

This looks a bit tricky: nothing to panic about, but your numbers are rather high, especially on that medication. Pain and stress can raise your numbers, so that might well be part of it. Low-GI, in my experience, counts for little, so I think ditching the low-carb bread would be the first...

Obviously we can't diagnose, but it is entirely plausible that you could have neuropathy. My neuropathy started in pre-diabetes, and was exacerbated greatly by hyperlipidemia.

Those numbers are really quite high: I agree with Antje that a call to 111 might be in order. Putting that to one side, porridge is usually a risky choice for T2 diabetics, so going ahead, I'd say it's best avoided. If you are T1, that's a bit different, but if you're not on insulin, my advice...

Lowering your carbs will probably lower your cholesterol: my cardiologist tells me to stick to lean meat and vegetables, and having done so, my cholesterol numbers improved and he reduced my statins. Sticking to a strict vegetarian diet will limit your options a bit, but you can still do low...

If you keep testing and it keeps spiking, I suppose you should just skip the Robinsons, but I think it would be worth checking in case there's something else going on; The carb count in Robinsons no added sugar orange is 0.6g per 100ml, and that's before you add the water. A pint or so of weak...

I'd rather they left the pubs alone and forced breweries and distilleries to put nutrition info on alcoholic drinks. Japanese drinks have this, and it's really eye-opening. Two very similar cans of drink can differ wildly. Something like rum or brandy can be very low-carb or very high carb, and...

I'm another heart attack guy who burned out a bit from dealing with diabetes. These days I don't test and just keep my carbs as low as possible: it's not that much of a burden to be honest. You don't have to be super motivated, and it's not a case of being either really gung ho about tackling...

Just trim your carbs and you'll be alright: don't worry too much. You absolutely don't need to be frightened: I'm attaching a link from a very knowledgeable diabetes forum poster- her information will see you right! https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/

If I *could* eat oatmeal, I would. If I could eat cornflakes, I still wouldn't.

You may be best off seeking help, but just as a remedy for that kind of cut, I have found filling the wound with vaseline then keeping it covered makes you heal more quickly. It sounds counter-intuitive because I'd always thought you should let the air get to a cut, but given that your knee...

Mash sounds like a great compromise: easier on the jaw, but still solid enough for roughage etc

It's likely to be a very common issue known as 'dawn phenomenon'. Your liver dumps glucose to get you ready for the day. Morning readings are often the slowest to get under control. It shouldn't be a huge worry: if you can keep reducing your glucose stores, the morning rise should go down...

You may well be correct that you just tested high. However, I would honestly suggest that if you've been flagged as on the diabetic spectrum at all, you should keep it in mind going forward: you say your only relevant vice is a liking for sweet stuff, but please remember it isn't necessarily...

Jim is depressingly correct here: you should try to get a medical letter saying you need low-carb though- it's worth a try. If that doesn't work, I suppose you will just need to minimize the carbs and try to work them off as best you can. If you can work off the carbs you eat, you can probably...

Even though I actually 100% agree with the agenda here (that alcohol drinks should have clear nutritional labelling), this is yet another stupid, unclear, biased and unscientific news report based on a stupid, unclear, biased and unscientific study.
