Yep. I was diagnosed with an a1c of 48 going into diabetes but before that and up until now (on metformin a1c 50) if I did not eat regularly I would b almost on the floor with a 2.something.

Yes if I don’t eat regularly but at the mo the lowest I have gone is 4. I have only had fruit today and a few slices of ham. Xx.

Yes I think that means you are controlling it well as your bloods are always normal to low. Once mine started creeping up - no more lows. I have one sister who is not diabetic and she’s often 2.9 but feels ok. She hardly ever eats. Xxxx.

I used to drop to 2’s before I was diagnosed fully diabetic. No I eat with metformin. Xxxxx.

Before my diabetes diagnosis as I always tested when I felt ill as I had GD.

That’s good. I am able to fast now without feeling faint. Before I would always drop down to 2’s and have to eat something but since my a1c has gone up I no longer have hypos so I can go longer without food now - or maybe the metformin helps with that. Seems strange as I always had terribly low...

That is fantastic. I see 9’s that scare me and even had a 12. But it doesn’t stay high for long. I remember seeing 8’s before and then had an a1c of 37. I have to try harder then to not see those numbers. X.

Yes it’s only now I take it seriously I am diabetic as before I was kind of just edging over kind of thing. Do you ever see a reading of over 9 now? X

2 years ago - just before we went on holiday to Cyprus. But this summer my a1c had gone up enough for medication I was told. Before I was able to get it to 37 with careful eating - but I was still eating jacket potatoes and fish in breadcrumbs - now they send me sky high. I’m 53. 5 3 and just...

How long have you been diabetic? X

Around 7. I kno some of you try to get under this but I look at it as ok. X

Thank you. I am such a picky eater and what with the metformin still making me feel not very hungry/sick I just don’t fancy any of the food we are supposed to eat. I just want chips!!!! lol. X

A pig in blanket is a sausage wrapped in bacon as we have at Christmas. It’s very nice…..but I’m sick of them now lol. X

That sounds good. Thank you. X

Bless you. Thanks for sharing that. I too can eat sausages with salad and some coleslaw. I didn’t think about Brazil nuts as I love them. What about peanuts? I suppose have to b unsalted. :-(. You do not eat very much either, probably less then me - 800/1,000 calories or so. I tried the dark...

Yes. Just a sausage wrapped in bacon from our rotisserie at work £1.10!! Daylight robbery. I’d love a sausage roll but sadly not had one for years. X

Thank you. For my picky eating habits if I dropped any more carbs I would b dead from malnutrition. Lol. X

Yes the soup is fine. I don’t eat the sausage as in a roll - just on its own and that’s fine. I think the only carbs I eat are probably the nimble bread in the morning then the odd few in other low things. X

Ah I see. It’s the pastry yes. I like the idea of lining the tin with ham. Thank you. X
