Hi Dennis, I tend to eat either 2 slices of rye bread, dry with cinnamon or quaker oats with water and blueberries for breakfast (I am trying to follow a vegan diet, I was a veggie but I want to cut out all animal produce). For lunch I usually have left-overs from the night before, so home-made...

Hi Sam, I don't know why your BG is so erratic, what are you eating, maybe has something to do with that? What did you eat yesterday and what did you eat today? Than again, if you got such different results within 5 minutes maybe your meter is faulty. What meter are you using? Phone the...

Thank you, that has helped me a lot :D

Yep, I think you are right...weirdly I was enjoying it, but I am going to have to rethink and get rid of the amount of carbs I am eating...thank you :D Time for more test strips!!

I think I know the answer to this and I have put this on another post. I am new here and newly diagnosed. I bought a book on how to reverse Type 2 and it is basically a vegan diet with complex carbs as the staple! I have been on it for a week now and today my blood (after eating homemade lentil...

Oh dear, this is a bit worrying as my blood sugar has yet to go below 7. My last fasting test with the doctor was 9...he put me on 1 metformin a day and waved me off into the sunset. I have been checking my own blood and it ranges from 8 up to 14. Should I get back in touch and hassle him?

Hi Eric, I am new here too. I am also a bit confused on the blood sugar levels. Mine seems very erratic at the moment. It tends to be about 7 when I wake up and I have just done it 3 hours after eating and it is 14.7 (it was 6 this time yesterday). How trustworthy are the blood testers though as...

Thanks for the help on this. The guy says he has done extensive research with positive results but maybe I need to rethink this! He does say it has to be complex carbs and that the reason I have diabetes is because my cells are full of animal fat and once I take that out of my diet the cells...

Ah right, thanks for that. It is a book I got called the reverse diabetes diet and the author says it is not the carbs that are the problem its the animal fats, which I thought was weird. His argument is that Chinese etc have a high carb diet but hardly any incidence of diabetes! :? Woa it's a...

Thank you for the welcomes...you all come highly recommended. I have to admit I am old and cynical and am totally unsuprised by my treatment so far. It's scary but I am sure I will manage... I like a good challenge :)

Hi my name is Sam and I was told I am diabetic the beginning of January...I am still in the denial stage although my blood tests say differently. It started as 18 after fasting and has reduced to 9.1 on metformin. It seems to be stabalising at between5 and 9 but I am not sure whether this is...
