Thanks lobsang, that makes sense that none of the first readings are above the first reading of the day. I had not noticed that one but runs true looking through my log book. I think I’m going to adopt that embrace.

Thanks Lamont for that info. I have kept quite a detailed food diary going on over the last 8 months but Have not found my docs to be much help on this score. As much as it has been an up and down journey. It has also been very interesting. Especially with pie and chips that took me from 6.9 to...

Hi all, After 8 months of up’s and down’s, battling with my diet, low carb, no carb, high carb, keto, my glucose levels, my 2 hr figures and quiet frankly any one that wanted to fight me lol and oh my lord total head spin going on. It has been a deep learning curve. Some great advice (manly from...

Correction the codes were navvi5 and navvi10 for 20% on 5 packs of testing strips and 25% on 10 packs

Hi ali006 Only been in this club that no one wants to be in as i was quoted when joining a few months ago [emoji4]lol. just thought i would add that the codes for the navii glucose monitors still works on the test strips of navii10 for 20% off and navii20 for @25% off. I Have just ordered this...

Thank you for this interesting reading. Did you stay on really low carb until you was in remission for 12 months. At what stage did you start to up your carbs. I’m currently on 90% of the time 30g carbs, still awaiting the non diabetic, early days on the time line of your experimenting i gather...

It’s like a driving test for life, what with priming the engine of carbs before hand. Can I ask is the o.8 the difference you were 2 hrs after the test and this is what you failed by. Still learning this new language and understanding the figures that come back!!

The Shreddies is a kind of symbolic test to me also because this is where I started my journey 6 months ago thinking this was a good snack late at night lol cringe. (So do not)How I’ve educated myself since through here and you guys [emoji6]

Thanks Ronan for idea of Shreddies though I thought it was an interesting idea. I have a HbAc1 test at beginning of may so I was going to give it a go after this because I didn’t want to mess up the good figures that I have had for the last 2 months. Will keep here posted when I do it though. So...

Thanks cat in the hat, makes logical sense on starting the day before on the ramping up carbs. I will have a look at the article you sent x

Hi all, I’ve reads on the net and on here about testing your insulin tolerance. Looking for some more info on this. I know that you can take it through the doctors (if your lucky!) or buy the kit on line for a tenner. I have read one post that he/she has done it with 75g of carbs through...

Thank you for the advice, I’ve lost just under a stone since being diagnosed 6 months ago. I’m thinking from the answers i have here that to continue as i am until next check up in may and compare blood results but kinda figuring at the end of the day there all just jumbled numbers like the...

When i say on the limit of fats it is referring to in relation to proportion of meals. Still that generational info of lots of fat is bad for you and trying do the unsaturated fats more. But really not at all sure on the fats and the cholesterol levels. Don’t want to get to my next blood test...

Thanks for info catinahat, as to comfortable in own skin, starting to not be. Feel/look very drawn. Not enjoying seeing the skellington figure lol. Nurses or Dracula would love me for the defined vein works appearing. Question myself sometimes if i would know if i was type 1 but then think nah...

Looking for some help. I’m 6 months into this journey and I’ve done kinda keto for a beginner i guess. More cutting the carbs to a low carb diet would maybe be closer to a description of my diet. I’ve cut out all the foods that i think currently spike me through doing lots of FP testing. I’m...

Hi all seemed like a good a place as any for a newly to ask. Why is the fasting one important. Not done many of them because only diagnosed type 2 for 6 months ago. Worst one today at 7.5 mmmm!!then there’s the dawn phananom that adds random amounts. What am i missing apart from a big chunk of...

Omg I hope your not too[emoji6]the 2 year reference is where i might have the good ideas that you have already gone through and have helped so many peeps with x

Hi, I’m new to this diabetic strange diet lol but the times you have answered me have been a great help. Sliding a little off the wagon just shows us we are still human first. I’m glad you didn’t delete it. There have been a lot of good insights from your thread that i hope you can find an...

Thanks again with your help HSSS, it did have a setting that i could change in my program. It now Gives me more of a realistic goal for a non average body but a healthier one for not being average in my diet. My meals are spot on for 30g during the day just need to now tweak my teas and coffee’s...

Thank you for the help lobsang and i hope one day that once i get a grips on the right foods for me to eat i will look at the figures less and watch them fall into the back ground. It’s all a very different learning curve but learning.
