I went to see a diabetes nurse at the end of April. I didn't have a blood test, so I decided to begin testing again at home. My previous blood glucose monitor was an Accu Chek Mobile which uses a cassette with 50 tests which expires 90 days after the first time you use it. Problem with that is...

My wife like Cauldron Lincolnshire Vegetation Sausages and is not keen on the Linda McCartney frozen ones. The problem with these is that they are 7.3 gr of carbs per 2 sausages (100gm), so eating 3 of these is 11 gm of carbs. These are OK, but they do raise my blood sugars more than I like e.g...

HbA1c is short for glycated haemoglobin (glycated means joined with glucose). The test is also sometimes called haemoglobin A1c. Haemoglobin (Hb) is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen through your body. Red blood cells live for about three month, so the HBA1C is a measure of your...

A lot of food claims to be "low sugar", "low carb" but, despite that, it can spike your blood sugars. You have to read the ingredients very carefully This morning I ate an Adonis Keto High Protein Bar. I was not expecting a significant rise in my blood sugars as it uses erythritol as a...

I have noticed significant blood glucose rise after eating cheese salad and fruit salad - strawberries, raspberries and blackberries with single cream. Yesterday, my blood sugars rose from 6.2 to 10.9 in two hours after first eating a salad followed by fruit salad 40 minutes later. The salad...

For those Type 2 Diabetics who have a CGM, what is your Time In Range using the default values 3.9-10.0 mmol/L Mine is 99% with 1% high, 0% very high (>14) and 0% low. I control type 2 using a LCHF diet

There are quite a few videos about the serious health effects from vegetable oils such as sunflower oil …

I made the mistake of buying some grenade bars as a snack. These are low sugar, but use maltitol as a sweetener which is almost as bad as sugar for spiking blood glucose. So I am now looking for some keto friendly snack bars which won’t ruin my blood sugar levels. What would people recommend?

Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of vitamin B1. I watched an interesting video on the benefits of using benfotiamine for diabetics. It may also help lower A1C. Searching the forum here it looks like it is mostly used for neuropathy, but the video also mentions that it is beneficial to...

I replaced by Dexcom One+ sensor a few days ago. The new position was in a similar position to my previous sensor on my abdomen (just to the side and slightly above the navel). This time there was some bleeding when I installed the new sensor. Blood came up through the little hole on the top of...

A couple of videos which explain LibreView reports and Dexcom Clarity reports. The key metrics seem to be : Average Glucose, Time in Range (3.9-10.0), GMI (estimated HbA1C) and Variation

I bought a Grenade low sugar protein bar which uses polyols as a sweetener. I discovered that they do spike my blood sugar. Looking at the ingredients I see it uses Maltitol as a sweetener. It turns out that it has a glycemic index (52) not much lower than table sugar (62). See …

Clarity shows graphs and reports using the data saved by your Dexcom CGM. I like the overlay graph as you can see multiple patterns across an entire week. I discovered today that the GMI number on the AGP report is an estimate of HbA1C. You can convert the % number to mmol/mol here.

There are various things you can do to reduce glucose spikes including taking lemon water, apple cider vinegar and changing the order when eating a meal to vegetables followed by protein and carbs last. Have people tried these and if so, what are the results. I did try some lemon in warm water...

How high a rise in blood sugar is good after eating lunch and how long should blood sugars be elevated? I am now measuring my blood glucose with a Dexcom One+ CGM. Today I ate a small quiche for lunch, which had 32g carbs. My blood glucose rose by 3 from 7.3 at 12:00 to 10.4 at 13:10 where it...

Many people can get CGMs provided by their health service, but for those people like myself who are type 2 and don't use insulin then you need to fund a CGM yourself. The two most popular brands for CGMs are Dexcom and Abbot who make the Freestyle Libre. Both these brands allow you to use your...

I read online that 10g of carbs can increase blood glucose by 2-3 mmol/l. Is this correct? I ate a mochi Japanese snack which has 20g of carbs and my glucose spiked about 6 mmol. I think I may avoid these in the future. Today is my first time using a CGM - Dexcom One+
