Interesting, I normally have full fat Turkish yoghurt with respberries (just a few) and a spoonful of flax. I don't know whether I could survive on just a boiled egg, I am most hungry in the mornings, but thanks, I might have to look at this again.

Thanks Bluetit, I didn't, but my meter has proved reliable so far and this is echoing what seems to be happening recently. I will try that the next time I have a leap like that. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Just 60g tinned and counted within the carbs I quoted. Grrrr. So irritating. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

I had quite good control (though not in your league @KevinPotts) until a couple of weeks ago when I had a night off to celebrate our 40th WA, and still didn't go mad. Now, I seem to be coming in much higher. Still within target range, but at the upper end. Example was this morning - before...

I was on Metformin for some years, then changed to Glucophage, had chronic diahorrea and wasn't able to cope. Loperamide etc didn't help. For years they said it was IBS, even though I told them it wasn't affected by what food I was eating. Eventually they listened and I was sent to the...

Yes, pretty much. Carbs below 50, try to maintain protein under 75. Use full fat everything and plenty of olive oil. Better reading this morning, so off to yoga despite the heat. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thank you all for the reassurance. I thought it would get back to normal rather quicker. I'll be patient and just try to be good, but isn't it hard, out on Thursday, Friday, Saturday for dinner with friends and then wedding celebrations (not our family but good friends). Sent from my iPad...

I'm concerned that my BG isn't reducing at the moment. We were away for our ruby wedding and ate at a very lovely posh restaurant and I had a few glasses of wine, but only a few and I don't seem to be able to get my BG levels back to where they were. The meal was on Saturday night and wasn't...

My nurse suggested I bring the injection time forwards/backwards by 15 mins per day. However I am a type 2 so don't know whether the same applies to type 1. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thank you all. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thank you for all this helpful information. It wasn't the level really. It was the fact that it went up when I hadn't eaten anything and wondered why this happened and what had caused it as I couldn't see anything I had eaten in the previous meal. I think I must have phrased it misleadingly...

Hi I checked my blood at 1800 and I was 5.6, 2 hours after last food, and although I haven't eaten since and only drink peppermint tea my reading at 2300 was 6.8! Been back over food consumption today and do not recognise any food which might do this. For lunch we had a BBQ - hickory smoked...

5.8. Everything still fine after dropping most of my meds Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thanks good people. Feeling much happier and certainly more confident and in control for the first time in 12 years! Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

What a horrid negative experience you had. Firstly - you've already done well to have lost 2 stone, I have lost one and am trying to lose more. I've decided that high fat is not for me at the moment, but I cut out bread, potatoes, rice, bread and grains and limited the amount of beans and...

I went on to insulin earlier this year and it has helped even things out. I wonder if you are testing and so know what your blood sugar is at various times of the day? That really is pivotal to getting to grips with diabetes. I am a couple of decades older than you, but reading other younger...

To everyone who has answered my questions and helped me find my way. I have now, with the cognisance of my diabetic nurse, dropped all four Glicazide and am now just taking 1 X 10mg Forxiga and 18 units of Lantus once daily. This is a huge step forward for me and I am looking forward to...

Hi. I did the same and my diabetic nurse told me not to panic and gave me a couple of alternatives. Take it now but this would mean that it might be at an inconvenient time thereafter. She suggested I just take it the following day as usual. We all have occasional blips, and this is one. It...

4.9 at 8.30am, upto 6.2 1.5 hours later after 200g Turkish yoghurt and some ground flax, which I think is ok Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Gosh, I'm on Forxiga and didn't know about this. I've been on it for about 5 months now and don't appear to have any side effects. Hope things are better for you now Jo? I've been type 2 for 12 years and suffered from chronic diahorrea for most of that with Metformin and then Glucophage. I was...
