cheers, you got any links to those tables?

Is there a such a thing as Blood sugar calculator? For example, if my reading was 6mg/l before lunch and I ate something with 30g Carbs in there, what would you expect blood sugar levels to be two hours later I know this can be very much individual, but thought there might be a ball park figure.

well here's to that. What I need to do is now go against everything I have ever been and be organised lol Coming up with eating plan for the week/ month. Is there any websites that give you the calory\carbs of food/supermarket food.?

Well I am back to the weight I was when I was in my twenties. Although people have commented on how much thinner I look. Got to say, I do feel at times better but at the moment mentally struggling coming to terms with it. Worried about what complications could develop in the future. Being only...

It's really hard as there seems to be a lot of conflicting advice. One thing I am struggling with is why me? I have no family history of it and my diet wasn't too bad before.

I was just short of 13 stones, but now I am around 11, so lost a few stone since last april / may time. So I need to bulk up a bit so really need the calories, its all in balance like everything. I will get there, just will take time. Very scary as at the minute, I am still awaiting test...

Yeah I have been adjusting what I eat, but it's difficult to get a balance. Especially when the NHS advice that I was given was a very poor leaflet. Yesterday for example I had, Plain Porridge for breakfast, Ham Sandwich on poppy wholemeal bap, yoghurt, celery and tomatoes Teatime I had...

I do have the monitor, been testing regularly. My BG was 24 when I went to see them orginally. But with it they have gone into single figures now after about 3 weeks. I know rice and cereal seem to spike it high so I avoid them now.

so does that eventually have a damaging effect?

May seem like a silly question as I know it makes pancreas create more insulin. But as a newbie, I am two 80mg tabs and my levels now seem to be in single figures which I am pleased about.

The problem I have is I dont have weight to loose being only 11 stone. I would seek medical advice as well as t could cause complications. I could not stick too that sort of diet on perm basis Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have read a lot about this, and I have to be honest I am a little sceptical. I have just been diagnosed with diabetes, although not sure which yet. I would love to think that there is a cure as it were, but being only 10st 11 at the min, I guess something like the newcastle diet is out for me...

Yeah changed a few things.such as not eating as much cereal and eating Greek yogurt for breakfast with berries for example. I am only 11 stones all the advice seems to be for overweight people. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Well my first week on the gliclazide and my sugars are dropping... when I went initially my bg was 24 in the morning 18th 17.3 avg 19th 14.3 avg 20th 12.6 avg 21st 11.9 avg 22nd 9.9 avg 23rd 7.85 avg 24th 8.3 avg 25th 8 avg My question really is, I assume that this is good. But should I be...

well I guess given that I am new to the game as it were I am still learning. I will only find out by trying different things. My BG was 8.2 when and I got 4.8 at lunch. The drugs seem to be working as my avg for the day when I started was 17
