Rice is very high in carbs albeit slow release, but carry on eating it. Food shouldn't be tailored to suit sugar it's not healthy. It may dad is type 1 and the sooner you discuss and treat the stronger he'll be and regain the weight. 2 to 3 days on insulin he'll be a new guy.

Hi Kathy Hope the following may help. Generally speaking if people have high bloods I.e. insufficient insulin your body pees out the extra sugar and vitamins as its unable to utilise food stuffs. Body needs insulin to convert food into energy and in turn the ability to perform. If dads type 2...

With a list like that suggest you need to re evaluate. What do you like least about yourself? self esteem ! Should be high self esteem, life is for living start today.

Hi there. Only thing I would say, if you burn it off, there's nothing wrong with carbs, I should know I'm active and albeit t1 without the carbs I consume I'd flake out due to exercise always on the go. Carbs, high fibre and exercise, but by the sounds of it, you pretty much have things under...

Hi John Might be an idea to get back to basics, I did a DAFNE course best thing I did for many years like you 47 yrs diabetic. Your body changes as with hormones and as such you may need to change your ratio's from time to time. More than usual exercise will also give you the same effect as if...

Hi Mike Small issue and several options you may with to review with your diabetes specialist or nurses.. Could simply be too much background insulin or fast acting before the meal, but correcting in the short term by taking a small amount of measured carbs and monitor (rather than a lot,) will...

8 week, a steep learning curve then. Don't worry you'll soon pick it up. Metformin doesn't agree with everyone, gave me the opposite to your condition and wouldn't settle. Bowel movement. I'd try a few foods that traditionally have made you loose. Warm drinks in the morning Black coffee is a...

Only my opinion. Better to be shielding and safe. We do need to be all here at Christmas. Gluten free foods may help you with diet less carbs etc , but if its any constellation, I've been t1 for 47 years 40mml 5.8 and following Dafne principles) , it doesn't stop me doing anything (within...

Only my opinion. Metformin didn't agree with my body, T1 47 yrs now with libre I balance insulin with food (Dafne) if sugars high before meal compensate by adding to injection pre meal etc. Currently 5.8 40mml over 90 days, plenty of exercise is key. If you over compensate with insulin correct...

I too am confused by the sucrose causing that much of an impact. Even if it were pure sugar a tiny tablet once s day shouldn't be an issue. Either way you'll have to find a way around it only you'll have severe problems if your vitd levels get too low. Mine hit 20 once and wiped me out...

Hi Kumar Low carb may be great, but don't forget high fibre and plenty to drink (water or no sugar drinks ps not fizzy) only this may reduce swelling and reduce weight as a side effect. Regards

Yes, you won't look back. Things to note: When you load new sensor, scan first with libre and then your smart phone as the smart phone app gives you more information graphs etc . Both scanner and phone can be used together and sync to your records but personally I use phone. Ps if you've been...

Hi Juliekem Few points Scan libre if screen reads 9 and doesn't tell you if it's falling or rising WASH your hands to remove and sugars from fingers etc and do a blood test (for example) if 6 then your sugar has fallen as the libre trails behind albeit not by far. The (free) libre app on...

Hi Juliekem I agree, believe me it's not always easy, but then again I've had a few more years than you to come to terms with it and also Coeliac for three years. I've added a few points which, hopefully will make sense on the diabetic side. I liken being a diabetic to being on a military...
