    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.9 today - which considering I'm in the middle of the mother of all colds, didn't think was too bad. Bah humbug!:yuck::yuck:

    I've lost 30lbs since 8th December but not reversed. Still hopeful though.

    Very well done - its taken me 18 month to lose 4 and a half stone. I still have a stone to lose but I seem to be stuck. You might try as some others have done of doing the occasional fast day - I'm going to do this to try and get off the weight plateau. Just try not eating for 24 hours. It's...

    Porridge

    scrambled eggs and bacon lardons - yum! (although I have to say I cheat on occasion - I have an Atkins bar if I'm in a rush!) If you did try porridge - try the one with the large grains - they take longer to go through the gut - the smaller ones will cause a quick rise in your BS level due to...

    4.4 today - surprising since I'm brewing this cold that's going round the office! Bah humbug!

    4.7 this morning - courtesy of 2 Gliclizade yesterday (and a bit more sleep last night)

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    5.4 today - must do better. I've fallen slightly off the bandwagon lately but I need to get back on.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.9 today (and then I fell off the wagon and had some chocolate - courtesy of a birthday at work - must do better!)

    Type 2 hi, struggling what to eat at evening meal, non-carbs

    Soya is unfortunately known for this side effect - many people lack the necessary enzyme to digest it (myself being one of them).

    4.5 this morning following a decidedly fishy dinner last night!

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    So true - if I didn't know what my BS level was - how could I adjust my eating for the day?! Knowledge is key.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.9 today following a couple of days at 6.0 (my own fault - too many carbs!)

    Prescription denied

    I always remember what my consultant (for MG) said when I asked him for some help when my employers were being awkward. He said "I like writing stroppy letters". That made me laugh and it makes you wonder what they think of GP's sticking their nose in!

    Prescription denied

    Can i suggest speaking to your endocrinologist or his secretary and explaining the situation, and asking them to contact your GP regarding this? It will normally carry more weight coming from them - worth a try!

    Overwhelmed with life..

    Hugs to you - you have a lot on your plate! As the others have said, portion size and exercise. Reduce the size of your plate and walk. The good thing about walking is it doesn't have to be done all at once. Try for 10 to 20 minutes of walking per day. Split it up if you need to. When I...

    5.3 today (up a little on yesterday - courtesy of the late night peanuts I think - I got the munchies!)

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.6 today (an improvement over yesterday's dreadful 10! - a combination of too many carbs - I fell off the wagon for a day!).
