I know we all are different and so how I react may be different to you . I take no meds apart from those for ulcerative colitis . I find that if I just have cheese as a late snack (no crackers or cocoa) I have higher than expected blood sugars next morning , but if I just have some nuts then...

I find sparkling water is fine as is soda water. Rather than flavouring with squash tap water with a slice or two or lime , lemon , or orange can flavour it without any artificial flavouring , I find best if put in fridge to let the flavour infuse . Cucumber in water is also very refreshing...

You could experiment with the following If you want something different to flavour water consider putting in water slices of real fruit or vegetable and maybe a herb eg a slice of lemon , orange , or lime , or a couple of slices of cucumber and or mint . Put in fridge until chilled and...

As others suggest , if you get a meter then you can see what agrees with you because what works for one person may not work for another . I find that adding herbs or fresh ginger stops me getting bored of low carb food. For example adding chives to scrambled eggs . I experiment , sometimes it...

Soda water is quite nice and is quite cheap. If drinking at home add lemon, or lime slices or if you like it cucumber . Pour the drink and then put back in the fridge for a few minutes to let the juices infuse. Plain water infused these slices is even cheaper cheaper and again it help if...

Just to show we are all different , I had some porridge with semi skimmed milk a couple of days ago and my blood sugar dropped from 6 before to 5.5 after and yes I did test again to make sure not rogue readings ! So I think that the impact of porridge is so individual that you can only tell...

I know we are all different and that anything which helps people put T2 into remission should be commended . Nevertheless I think that the N D is naturally low ( not ultra low ) carb because if you look up the carb content per drink it is about 30 so would be 90 a day. I know some would say...

I had read the same article in the Times and was musing what was the cheaper alternative to strips and insulin injecting needles for both T1 and T2 who are on insulin . The wording in the Times stated that they were cutting useless or inefficient treatments , not sure what is useless or...

As others have said , It is really down to the pharmacist, the local Boots where my parents lived ( a small market town ) was really very good and helpful and could not be faulted. I find my local Morrison’s very good and right next my doctors so prescriptions do not have far to travel . I...

I am afraid that there is a concerted effort to tell everyone that red meat is bad for one . Indeed the researcher who suggested a meat tax was on the radio stating that meat causes amongst other things type 2 diabetes ( as well as heart attacks cancer and no doubt other things it seems that...

We are all different so what works for me may not work for you . Although I eat a lot of leafy veg which seems to make very little difference to me, however what I find is that the amount of water is important so need at least 1.5 litres and most usually two litres. I also will take couple of...

My father was given insulin then sent for a scan and was given no lunch. Fortunately my mother and friends went in to visit and found he was completely out of it. My mother and her friends persuaded the nurses that this was not usual and they checked his blood sugar which was down in his boots...

We are all different and trying not to be a Casandra but what you may find that your fasting BS tomorrow is higher is than you expect . I find that if I have a bit of a carb binge my BS will come down quickly but seems to increase my morning sugars . I think it is because as I am effectively...

If you search on the internet there are lots of organisations offering one touch select strips at various prices. As the prices are in £ sterling then I assume they are available for UK purchasers . They are not as cheap as some other strips but if you are happy with your meter it might be...

A thought which may be worth a try and may only be a placebo effect but if it works then that would be good. There is accupuncture point on your wrist which if you press it is meant to help with travel sickness. There are bands which you can buy to enable you to put pressure on the right point...

We are all different and thus can react differently to food . For example I find that if I have too much protein that it can increase my blood sugar. I try and and keep to to 0.8 gm per kilo of the weight I want to be so look at carbs and protein combined in . Has taken me about a bit of...

We are all different so what works for me may not work for you . Cannot comment on metformin as in take no meds . I need to drink a lot of water about 2 litres a day and a bit more in the hot weather. I also have a couple of teaspoons of milled flax a day I just put it in water but you could...

We are all different so what is OK and what I find works for me may not be for you . The facts are that there are no Carbs in the diet drinks but they do contain lots of chemicals so if you do not like chemicals they may not be for you. I like the occasional Diet Coke, Pepsi etc . The only...

I would think you need to discuss your meds with your doctor. I would think there are alternatives but I manage with diet . As regards diet. You might like to consider low carb . The good thing about it is that if you like it it is an easy diet for life . Low carb is not the “shake” diet which...
