I'm still learning this stuff myself but to be honest much of the stuff you have been eating so did I, because I was under the impression that was healthy food and what everyone is told to eat. I'm now learning that this is correct unless you are diabetic, in which case that whole theory needs...

Very bad idea, I used to have a small porridge every morning until recently and I can tell you that's not what you should be eating.

Hi and welcome, I'm new here two maybe 2 weeks now. Diagnosed 6 months and put on metformin end October as HbA1c went up. Just bought a meter and started checking levels and I would strongly advise you to get one ASAP, I'm gobsmacked at what is now apparent where carbs are concerned. That...

Hi, I have used my own car in the past for work only a couple of times and their policy was so many pence per mile expenses. All I did was tell them how many miles and claimed it back. Now obviously I'm only talking of a few trips of about 80 to 90 miles or so and if you are doing it in the...

Hello Sue, I'm new to this we site too and was diagnosed T2 about six month ago, found the people and information oh here really helpful. After testing my urine and finding glucose in there too I asked for some advise and boy did I get it. I've ordered meter from Home Health UK the SD Codefree...

Thank you Jay-Marc Yes maybe I should have been more realistic in terms of postage this time of year, i'm just very stressed out atm with a few things on my mind, but very anxious to get started with this meter and get some more accurate reading around my levels as well as what i'm eating. These...

Well here is just a bit of an update on this for anyone. Still getting high amounts of glucose in my urine, the higher being after my evening meal. Funny thing is I had a plate of chips Thursday night with a stew that I did, mainly because I was late getting in from taking the dog to the Vet...

Thank you and yes i'm going to take it one step at a time. The main thing is i'm trying to understand/remember what has changed in my diet and lifestyle over recent weeks that caused this glucose increase in my urine. hell i'm down from 20 units of booze a week to 10 and less so I can't see...

Thank you, I'm certainly getting all the information i need and taking notes here. I think my first thing will be to change my early morning diet as clearly even the meager choice of a medium banana and porridge seems to have the effect of putting glucose in my urine, I dread to think what...

Thank you, I am going to need to think about how I handle xmas

Thank you Jay, When I get my glucose meter i'll be able to test more accurately and find out what foods are causing me a problem, with bananas the Dr told me they are a good source of potassium which I need to help with my high blood pressure but I guess I could try other foods rich in this

Thank you, I do think I'm going have to take a fresh look at what I eat. This morning I had a medium banana at 8am, then at 09.30 a small oat so simple cuppa porridge (plain) and that was it, at 11.30 I did a urine test and after 30 seconds the results on the strip was a dark colour dot at 3...

Thank you SWUSA, I did reduce my portion sizes on carbs and ate less but now i'm thinking I need to cut more of them out all together. But I'm also thinking 'Blimmey' It's Christmas time what on earth am I going to do over this season with all the wonderful stuff i've always ate? Love my...

Wow thank you, I get home from work and check to see if anybody has answered my question and see such wonderful responses. In truth I did attend a one day seminar called Desmond at my local hospital and this was very useful and I have done a lot they suggested and cut down on carbs and what bit...

Hi daisy Thank you for this information I've found it very useful indeed

Hi Thank you, as far a diet is concerned then i have reduced my carb intake as well a sugar, not that I had a lot of sugar stuff other than I like Choccy Bickies and now cut them out. I guess I need to look at my diet again

Thank you John

Hi, I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 6 months ago and nothing much has happened with it other than about 6 weeks ago they put me on one a day 500mg Metformin following a recent HbA1C. Anyways they never told me to check my blood glucose level with any meter or urine for that matter so I though...
