I would say that looks a bit high. 4.5 to 11 is a big jump. Try the same meal without the batter and beans and see what happens to your levels. You could ask your doctor for some proper testing as well. A c-peptide test will tell you if you are producing a normal amount of insulin and an OGGT...

Fathead pizza, google it. HOLY YUMMMM !!!

Congrats and thank you to those elected and also to all who stood for election.

An insulin pump could be the solution to the needle phobia but others would know a lot more about that. There will be a way for you.

This forum tends to be very focused on diet control for type 2 diabetes. There are many different ideas on just what that diet is but most agree it is highly individual. Low carb is the most common but others are vegan, vegetarian, low calorie, intermittent fasting, or variations. For almost...

I am going to tag @daisy1 for you and she will send out an information pack that is meant for newcomers. This is where you should start. Read it all and follow the links then come back and ask any questions you may have. It will be all right but it takes time to wrap your brain around it all...

Sugar free jelly with whipped cream is a real winner when you are craving sweet. Make up a couple flavors and keep them in the fridge for just such an occasion.

A sugar tax will not stop people eating sugar any more than a tobacco tax stopped anyone from smoking. Seems like a money grab to me.

You will need to go into your profile and change it @carty . It says you are insulin dependent.

Erythritol seems to be the best and if you mix erythritol and stevia together they tend to cancel out any aftertaste. You will need to experiment but I have found that most recipes use too much sweetener so I tend to reduce the amount called for.

I agree with bulkbiker as to attitude but I do know that it is not that easy with family. You could just simply say "you are not my doctor" and carry on your merry way or just refuse to discuss it. My weight can vary up to 5 pounds on a given day depending on water retention and bathroom trips...

You may want to ask for a fasting c-peptide test to see how much insulin you are producing. If your insulin production is very low you will not be able to control sugars with diet alone. If your doctor won't order this then you can have it done privately.

Who bumped into me ?

If you are just on metformin or no drugs at all then don't worry about your sugars and just keep up fluids and sleep as much as you can. If you are on stronger drugs then call your doc for advice. You have my sympathies, when I had it it is the sickest I have ever been.

I don't think its aimed at you personally. As indy51 has said it is an attempt to stop spammers. The forum was having a lot of spamming going on for a while.

Hi there. I am not sure what province you are in, I am in BC. Have you spoken to your endo about having insulin imported from the UK or the states if it is available from there. The powers that be might just make accommodation for this as it is clearly a matter of life or death with this...

I wonder if they bothered measuring insulin levels before deciding appropriate insulin doses. It is very common for type 2's to have extremely high levels of insulin and adding more is not helping the insulin resistance.

Once someone has been labelled with the tag of diabetes it seems like everything is blamed on the diabetes. Having diabetes does not mean that other problems and conditions cannot come up that are totally unrelated. Please make sure that this is properly investigated and not just fobbed of as...

It sounds like your liver is kicking out glucose in response to the exercise. This is the body's way of making sure it has enough fuel and that blood sugar levels do not go too low. It is frustrating. Check your levels again after an hour or two and see if you have dropped into more acceptable...

It's been 43 minutes without a bump! Quick someone bump, oh never mind o_O
