    Advice please re Diet

    Several studies including one in China have shown while eggs (1 a day or more) do not affect the heart for normal people but not so for diabetics as according to the Chinese study they found a significant rise in heart disease and one study even said double normal.

    What should my morning blood sugar be?

    Normal is 4 to 5 fasting and since you're 5.1 now you should manage it with the right diet and exercise. I posted a diabetic soup in the food section which you should try worked for me and I hovered about the five. But as tasty as it is too much of a good thing can put you off and I'm eating...

    Wnat BG meter do you use and why?

    I use the SD Codefree which is great, especially the price of the strips and the lancet uses the standard needles at a fiver for a 100. I had the accura but the strips were a rip off and the lancet had a barrel fitting which held only 5 needles and I'll bet not cheap to replace either.

    A perfect diabetic soup and tasty too.

    Tablets are ok but there is debate about artificial supplements may actually be harmful. The seven seas fish oils are meant to be good and have 4000 less times less mercury than salmon, it's the same reason I eat sardines instead . I type every food into google along with diabetic or nutrition...

    A perfect diabetic soup and tasty too.

    I like quorn myself, the only meat I eat is chicken and sardines. I would switch to quorn because of the animal welfare aspect but can't afford it and sardines have B vitamins and omega 3s which because I have neuropathy I really need.

    I hope someone can answer a few questions or give an opinion.

    Thanks and the comments are interesting too. The core of the problem is corporations which often own each other including big pharma, it's a corrupt system but who is going to stop it when they fund the politicians too?

    Thanks for the reply and hi. I don't use the reading glasses as much as sight is returning. Hypothyroidism also makes people sensitive to the cold, I'm the opposite and I only sweat now when my sugar is high whereas a problem with the gland is full time. Though I agree just looking it up the...

    A perfect diabetic soup and tasty too.

    Not a problem, remember no processed vegetables or chicken in bags that you would get in a supermarket as they even add sugar to them. I'm not a fan of vegetables at all but in soup I could live on it forever and it works.

    A great diabetic soup and tasty too.

    All these ingredients either lower BG levels or help produce insulin, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, thin the blood and lose weight , This should be used as the first tool for the newly diagnosed or anyone really, so I hope this helps others too. My waking levels were around 12 with highs...
