It’s good to be a little nervous. That way you’ll be all fired up with just the right attitude. You don’t need any luck, you’ll be okay . X

I have had this book a while now. I made the Raspberry Mascarpone ice cream last night. So easy and refreshingly tasty. The family liked it. Also the Leek Spinach and Feta showstopper. A bit fiddly but good all the same.

Okay. I see it now. Thank you ert.

Hi ert. I have the tetra pack Alpro soya single cream. It is 4.5 carbs per 100ml.

Sorry HSSS, I should have been clearer. I did do an insulin resistance test with medichecks earlier on this year. Here is the thread. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/insulin-resistance-test.164062/ It shows that I am just below the normal range of my insulin production.

Yep, me too. We have supper about 6 and go to bed about 10. I have tried eating cheese before going to bed, acv, and a piece of buttered toast as advised by my DN, but it’s just a steady rise from falling asleep to DP in the morning. Then it is a slow progress throughout the day for my reading...

Nero can do a little jug of pouring cream to go with your Americano. As does Waitrose cafe.

Haha. Me too. Even though I had been there a thousand times.

Thank you. That confirms my medichecks results in the original post. Although looking on the bright side my insulin production is just a fraction under. But I guess I may have to supplement my insulin some time in the future and become a tyoe2 with insulin.

As predicted my BS was 8.7 this morning at 6 am, despite not having eaten after 5pm. According to my Libre there is a steady rise all night. A walk and bacon and eggs brought it down to 6.3. It is slow but it will come down further until I eat again this afternoon and then it’s ground hog day.

To answer your question, I had very late lunch of rump steak, egg and side salad. Before this meal I was down to 4.6. After an hour 5.8. Two hours 6.7. If history repeats itself, I will be rising steadily until I get up in the morning.

Thank you @bisalimo. Although my carb intake is minimal, In a nut shell then, my understanding is that my beta cells are packing up.

Thank you for that LittleGreyCat. High BS, low producing insulin. I guess I was looking at the insulin resistance index. Which in the normal range while the others are in the red zone.

Hi Bulkbiker. I fasted for 15 hrs as requested, but I had also been out for my 40 min walk that morning. I drank only water. It seems that my body doesn’t like fasting as it tends to raise my blood sugar. I’m still not sure where the glucose comes from as I am extremely low on carbs.

Thank you. So if I am producing enough insulin, why is it no working to bring down the BG? I wonder what other factors could be affecting my readings.

I think I understand the information, but I would be grateful for anybody be able to explain this to me in simpler terms Thank you

Yes Ronnie. The coffee out of the machines are truly vile. But I also think there are some types of black coffee sweeter than others so tend to frequent the independent coffee shops. I avoid instant coffees as they tend to raise my sugars a bit.

Update. A good looking 6.8 now. x

Thank you everybody. This morning it was 8.9. So although high, It was a steady night from yesterday’s reading of 8 at bedtime. I have taken Chooks advice and have eaten a plate of cheese for breakfast. I have to say it was quite lovely and different to be eating so early. You have all been...

And right on cue, BG now risen from 6.8 at 8pm to 8.0 at 9.15. All I had this evening was a chicory coffee with cream. Oh well
