Hi Red here, I hope this is in the 'right' bit of forum, apologies if not. I have just read a few pages on the forum re: being gay, being gay on the forum, to come 'out' or not to come out :lol: , and then suddenly I really starting laughing becuase I am gay, and am out of the closet, dont have...

Hi, today I had my usual diet but also added 1 x wholemeal bread with breakfast and 1 x wholemeal bread at lunch. I addesd it because I just felt very drained and not thinking straight as (for me) my diet of the last 3 months of have under 40 carbs a day was (or felt) very depriving. To my...

I wondered if any one could explain to me why this happens ( it is probably obvious but I am fairly new to all this). I have read a lot of times on this forum that you should test 2 hrs after eating. when I eat I test before I eat then 1hr after + 2hrs after + 3hrs after. what I have noticed in...

as I am eating about 50 carbs a day, I am eating a large amount of protein probably 400grams 3 times a day. this seems to be helping my bg level and helping me to loose weight, but I am worried as I have heard that it can do damage. My question is, is this true? and if so what does it damage...

I have been on a restricted carb diet (probably between 40-50 carbs a day) lots of fish and salad, some atkins bars for about 10 weeks after I realized how bad my bg was (started off in the 20's if eating what I want which is a lot). I have lost 1.5 stone, feel a lot better. On the good side I...

Is it always the case that significant weight loss (5 stone+) would make blood glucose levels a) lower in general b) easier to control and get down to between 4-7, if they are currently between 7-10 (without medication).

I am currently trying to reduce my carbs from about 70 -80 to 50, I thought it would be a good way for me to have 25 breakfast 25 lunch at midday, then a no carb snack at 2pm and then a no or very very low carb meal at about 4pm/5pm becuase my system seems to really be very sluggish from about...

I wonder if anyone could help me shed some light on my Bg readings today which (to me) seemed very bizzare. I have been low carb for about 2-3 months lost one and half stone, and got readings down from early 20's to 7-10 with diet and exercise. Here's the thing today although I intended to go...

I have got my bg down from between 10 and 20's during the last 2 months, with diet and exercise (a little exercise) to between 6.8 and 10 bg readings and have also lost 21 pounds. although i am pleased with this, i seem to have stopped now making any progress and cant seem to break through the...

I have got my levels down from the 20's to between 8 and 13 by counting carbs and having about 25 carbs each meal (3 a day). am doing some exercise and loosing weight, heres my question I cant seem to break though any lower then 8-10 with very strict controlled carbs. I have been reading on...

I am currently trying to get my BG level in the normal range, have got them from over 20 to between 7-10 with diet and exercise. I am having about 24 carbs at 8am, then about 20-25 for lunch at 12noon. most of the day if I am a bit active I have been getting fairly good bg = between 6.6 - 8...

hi all, could someone please explain to me the reason why eating too much protein can be bad for a type II in the long run, and how eating too much can put up or keep up high bg numbers and what exactly is the right amount of protien to be eating in one day, that would faciliate getting bg lower...

hi, this is my first post, and I wondered if anyone could help me. I was told a few years ago I was "borderline" diabetic type 2. Recently I wasnt feeling good, and knew it was to do with what I was eating, or overeating. I weigh 20 stone (female, aged 41). so i started to use one touch and...
