Well done Andy :clap:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn Finally got it under 6 this morning :D (5.9 to be exact) Did 30 mins on wii fit before bed then wondered if exercise would bring down BG levels overnight and cause liver dump in the morning so decided to have 2 crackers with...

Sounds like an upset stomach is the way to do it :wink: Seriously though well done to the both of you :clap:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.5 this morning-up a little but still learning and working on it :?

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.4 at 7.15am this morning. Was 5.7 at 10.20 last night so had a carb snack as suggested-2 crackers with cheese. Looked back my readings and that seems to be my lowest morning reading so the carb snack must work. :) Will keep...

Welcome to the forum mistee17. Viv has explained it all really well. I am only recently diagnosed myself and I too had all the symptoms you describe. There are loads of experienced people in this forum and they all give great advice. I don't think I could have got by without it. No question...

Stayed the same. Must try harder this week.

Definitely strips :!:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 7.7 this morning. Going out tonight so I don't expect a good reading in the morning. :wink:

Brilliant :clap:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn Have been advised by DN to get morning reading to under 6 but finding it impossible. I test as soon as I get up at 07:15 am. This morning it was 6.6 (was 5.2 prior to going to bed last night-had a snack of sausage and bacon-no carbs)...

I agree with ill3st. I think it would be a good idea to have a link to "view new posts"-maybe on the same line as "user control panel" and "view your posts" links. Would save having to keep going back to board index to view new posts.

So that's where I am going wrong :oops: :lol:

What a really encouraging post, Whitbyjet. You done so well to come from such a negative place to where you are now. Your post gives us all courage and hope (especially us newbies) and makes us realise that we are not alone and others feel the same or similar and have managed to come through the...

Thanks Ian I never thought of it from that angle. You are right in what you are saying. I suppose I am getting information from all angles and being bombarded with different ideas/figures etc. I am trying to figure out the best way to go from here. I am the type of person who sees things from...

Just as I thought-my scales are knackered :lol: Was at dietician on Wednesday and she weighed me. I have lost 7lbs since being diagnosed at end of September :D Bought new scales and will start again from today-current weight 13st 12lbs (first thing this morning on nice new scales :) )

I've just looked out the wii fit at the weekend (was hidden in a cupboard) and bought batteries. I have done it twice this week so far. I only have the one fitness "game".I think it's the original one-step aerobics, running, hula hooping, skiing and balance tests etc Would be interested to know...

I've just attended week 2 of x-pert course today and left a bit bamboozled to say the least. I have been following all the advice on this forum and low carbing seems to be giving great BG results. However, the way it was explained today about eating more carbs and low fat seemed plausible...

Thanks for all your replies and support. Reading them really helped me. I'm back on track today. I think the problem was an accumulation of things. I didn't buy the 85% chocolate or the nuts which helped me through snacking the last few weeks. I wasn't losing weight so I thought I would cut...

Thanks so much for the support Sparkjack, you really know where I am coming from! I have other major issues that my friends have been really supportive with but they haven't a clue about the seriousness of diabetes and I tend to play it down a bit in their company. I really value their support...
