Agree with everyone else about the meter you're the one with diabetes not the nurse. Hint: when you do get a meter you'll pretty quickly find the main culprits for raising bgs are rice pasta potatoes bread cereals and other things that are made from flour. If you seriously want to control your...

The key is to recognise there will always be next times but so long as they are relatively infrequent then one off high readings are probabky fine. If you think about it non diabetics can get high readings if they get ill just like diabetics and that doesn't cause long term problems. Sent...

It's the carbs that are more important the only potential problem you may face down the line is low carb low fat may not give you enough calories. Nuts are a relatively low carb high calorie source and quite a few people have upped them rather than fat when they've needed ti stop losing weight...

You are right that you should be avoiding sugar but there are two important things to understand. The first is that to lose weight you simply need to eat less calories. If you do that then you will lose weight. That will greatly help your blood sugars because excess weight is what is causing...

Your spidey sociology super sense is spot on. Interesting fact about postmodernism it is made up using its own language of ********. So much ******** in fact that a physicist (real scientist) created a totally spoof and totally meaningless research paper using the ******** language of...

Tax sugar to the food manufactuers it would make processed low fat foods more expensive and cost the food industry a good amount so it would become more profitable to sell low sugar products. Can someone get Ritz to put the salt back in their recipe. The new ones are nothing like as nice...

Perfectly normal don't worry tomorrow is another day. Bgs can rise if you're not 100% or stressed. Have another biscuit :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
