That is amazing! Not sure I'll manage that but trying all the same :) I don't know what O/E stands for either.

Hope so!

Were you lol i love cheese. It didn't seem to be the cheese this time Gemma. At least not cathedral city cheddar

I don't either! But I will ask my doctor soon. I had a small amount of cheese at lunchtime and ended up with a hot flush about half an hour later. But, I'm certain there was also vinegar in the salad so not very scientific! I may experiment with some cheddar in a moment...watch this space :D

I use the diabetes UK tracker. I manage to log all I need to on it.

Thank you Gemma. I had baked camembert (a whole one) with salad then not long after my head felt like a volcano! So it could be. This is recent though, I didn't have this problem before. I love cheese so rather hoping this isn't it :D

They have so far only taken my blood for BG tests. In fact I've yet to see a doctor. I was diagnosed and notified by a combination of the surgery receptionist and a nurse. I'm due back for the three month tests, and I'll go armed with questions!

Nuts!

Thankyou both! Hello Catherine, that certainly sounds like it! I don't like the suggestion that it could be linked to kidney problems but it did mention cheese and vinegar as triggers (and I had both before the last episode). Jack, I've looked that up too and it's certainly a possibility...

I should have added, I can't eat bread or toast at all. It sends my BG levels sky high!

Porridge makes my BG high (a shame because I actually like it) so maybe it's just as well you don't like it ;) although everyone is different and you'll need to test your blood to see what suits you best. I have bacon and eggs (or sometimes omelette with tomato or cheese). I thought it was a...

This would be fantastic. Those results look amazing and I hope that I'll be able to treat my diabetes with diet only (at least for now). I had previously been eating what I thought was a healthy diet (basically what is recommended by the NHS) for years. I think that everyone should reduce the...

Oh dear, there was no need for that - I think that sometimes doctors forget where their fat wages come from in the first place. Too big for their boots as my nan would say.

Hello Tyler yes it's late but I suspect someone will be around in the morning to offer some advice. Being diagnosed is very confusing especially when you don't get much information from the professionals. But stick around here and you'll learn a lot!

I looked to see if this was discussed before on this forum rather than starting a new thread, but seemed to get linked to threads about other illnesses. I think this is connected to diabetes though. Sometimes after eating I get really hot. So hot it's like a fever and you can feel the heat...

When I lowered my carb intake, I felt tired in the first week. Stick with it though because now I feel great (several weeks in), I have energy, lower BG and I've lost weight. Good luck!

Wow you lost 5 stone, that's amazing! Don't be disappointed with yourself. You obviously did something right to lose weight. But, now you've been given advice from the lovely people on this forum, just try it and don't look back.:)

The amount of sugar in savoury foods is shocking! We've obviously become accustomed to having all food sweet. I miss stir fry sauce which was so quick and convenient - I'll have to look for alternatives.

Vegetable crisps are lower than potato crisps but they are still high at around 35-40g per 100g depending on the make.

I've just started looking at that website www.phlaunt.com and it mentions something that confirms a suspicion I've had for a while. It states: "To determine if you have diabetes, you should test your 1 and 2 hour post-meal blood sugars. If your doctor tests you, make sure he orders a post-meal...
