Me taking effervescent paracetamol :arghh:

Yes similar problem. My GP phoned to say my folate was low. When I googled it I realised I had all the symptoms so I take a supplement for folate and now B12. I’m on a high dose of metformin and read this was usually the cause of B vitamin deficiency.

9 mmols at 7:30! As my 2 year old granddaughter would say ”What on earth?” Have a fab Friday everyone x

All the eights this morning! 8.0 at 8am and as @Estragon has said stoopid T2 :( Goodness my back hurt last night I was wondering if this operation has cured anything….I hope to goodness it has and I know I have to give it time. Someone told me it took them 6 months to recover! I was hoping to...

High everyone I’m so pleased to see you are still with the challenge, really well done. My eating has been all over the place including my food choices but I’m now on the road to recovery albeit slower than I’d hoped. New week so here I go…… x

Good morning all and 8.5 mmols at 7:45 this morning. 3 weeks to the day post op. I’m still in pain but apparently that’s to be expected, my expectations of recovery aren‘t realistic! Have a good Monday everyone. Hope you are safe @Bcgirl x

Forgot to weigh but as I’m only just moving very slowly with restricted mobility and feeling sorry for myself I’m sure I’ve gained more weight and the waistband on my shorts feels tight! :(

After my operation I’d lost 2lbs but now I’ve gained 1.5lbs in the week I’ve been home :rolleyes:

Hi @Whitmab and welcome as @Rachox has said if you could give us a bit more information on what you eat then we could perhaps suggest alternatives if you need ideas. I would definitely consider getting a monitor then you’ll be able to see what spikes your blood sugar As everyone reacts...

They have sugar, honey and glucose syrup in them so might not suit everyone I think with most things it’s best to test as everyone reacts differently

Well done everyone for carrying on with this challenge. My operation today and I’m quite scared so I haven’t been on as trying to occupy my mind. Speak to you on the other side lol! But I might not be on here for a few days. Keep up the good work x

Finished at 6:15

Welcome @2tubs88 Every little counts :D

Unfortunately I went to a friends birthday party and dinner wasn’t served until 7:30. I probably didn’t finish eating until 9! On the up side I only drank water.

@In Response i would have thought sugary foods were bad whichever type of diabetes you have?

5.7 at 7:45 I've had to go back on the folate supplement as bloods came back as low. It’s usually the case that when I start feeling better I forget to take them. I did wonder as all the symptoms started reappearing especially the dizziness and fatigue. :rolleyes: Have a lovely sunny saturday...

Hi @Em55 and welcome. Unfortunately maple syrup is not good for diabetics. It might be a good idea to get a blood glucose monitor so you can check your before consumption reading then 2 hours after to see what affect if has on you. We’re all different and all have a different reaction. As...

Just finishing off my coffee then that’s me done for the day 5:40.

@EllieM thanks so much, that’s put my mind at rest.

2.5lbs on after holiday :rolleyes:
