I seem to be ok with pears and plums ... banananananas (never know when to stop spelling that) can sometimes give me a spike so tend to avoid now despite them being my favourite food :(

@haf What are you bed time readings like?

@nomoredonuts - I bought a CSX 3D on Amazon - not cheap but seems very good and is multi-function. 11,288 steps today.

@Nikki1111 - I was in a similar place a few months ago - got extremely down but decided there was only me that could do anything about it - cut down on the carbs and the calories and started walking more and lost almost two stones since Christmas and readings are almost always now where they...

5.9 at 4.10 and 6.4 at 6.15 ... bedtime reading (23.05) was 5.9, injected 7 units of levemir and had a protein snack (not the one I'd intended to have as wasn't sure about whether I still need to inject or not so took a safer option - 13 carbs and 25 protein and seemed to work pretty well...

It's called Whey 20 - found it in the health section next to the vitamins.

Going to try one tonight ... found a protein snack in Sainsburys ... 88 calories, 0.1 fat, 1.8 carbs (1.4 sugar) and 20 protein. Does that sound about right? And do I still do a Levemir injection? reading 20 minutes ago (2 hours after evening meal) was 5.6 so will be intersting to see how it goes.

I'm up for it - started already in fact - used a pedometer for the first time on Tuesday and going well - 12,886 steps on Tuesday, 11,946 yesterday and 12,941 today :)

Control solutions are available to test your meter with.

Breakfast: Greek style yogurt. Lunch: Turkey sandwich on granary. Evening meal: Salmon, new potatoes, broccoli, green beans and watercress sauce.

8.0 at 7.10 having been at 6.8 at bedtime (10.50). No snack last night and injected 7 units of Levemir before bed.

Last time I saw her I mentioned nighttime hypos and she suggested a slice or two of maltloaf might help to avoid them.

Thanks very much - I'll report back. Only problem is I'm not much of a fan of nuts or cheese so will have to find some other source of protein. Oh, and I don't drive anymore - not because of the diabetes but I hardly ever used my car. Have slowly been reducing insulin doses as well - morning...

Bedtime and morning readings for the last week: Wednesday - (23:25) 5.7 and 8.2 (05:40) snack Thursday - (2310) 5.4 and 5.5 (07:00) snack Friday - (22:35) 6.9 and 7.7 (06:05) no snack Saturday - (22:35) 6.6 and 6.1 (08:00) no snack Sunday - (22:05) 4.9 and 6.6 (07:00) snack Monday - (21:40) 6.4...

7.7 at 6 am - seems I can only get decent readings for a couple of days running at the moment.

I'll give that a try, thank you - any suggestions as to what to eat?

No problem! And no need to apologise.

You could be the New Nolans!

Thanks.
