Hello, I am new to this forum (well, I'm not actually but I haven't posted for a long time). I am Type 2, but not very well controlled, I am trying to get my sugar levels down. My nurse keeps telling me I should be aiming for 10.0 but I think I should be looking at lower scores. My eyesight is...

Chromium Picolate and Cinnamon is the answer. My bloods were really worrying me until I read about these. I purchased from Holland & Barrett, and take one of each daily' the day after I started taking them my morning reading was 3.9, then the following day it was 6.3, since then it has mostly...

Thanks for your reply. I thought I was going mad!!!!!

I am now on Humalin 1, and I am hoping that some of you are too. All is well, however, my Husband and I have noticed an 'odour' of garlic. indoors, has anybody else noticed this? We don't eat or cook with garlic, but the smell is really strong, sometimes.

No, I am type 2

I need guidance on what I should, and more importantly shouldn't be eating.

I have never heard of this. How do you know what's going on if you don't test?

I don't know what that is, so I have googled it, and will try it. I don't do the ml thingy, either, I use a monitor which gives me different readings. Thanks, for your reply, it helps a lot, x

Thanks Looprecat, I ate today as promised, but afterwards I felt a bit light headed, so I checked and my BS was 19.2 but that was about 1/2 hr after eating so might have been a bit soon. I will take it again later. X

I want to know if any of you ever fast? I often just don't want to eat stuff. I posted some time ago about m BS being around 23 most days, my new nursey has put me on Humalog Kwikpen, which is working well. I had a day yesterday when I just couldn't face food. I had boiled eggs at breakfast ...

Me too, Kevin. I place the needle as soon as I have used it in the evening, so I know that I haven't done it yet. I also have an "alarm" on my ' phone, so as soon as it goes off, I inject, then replace the needle in readiness for the following evening.

I have had a reply from Danone, they said they do not sell the 2% sugar yoghurt in the UK. I am appalled that it should be available but not to people in the UK..... anyway I found a weightwatchers fromage frais, which is 5.1% and 5.2% so I am going to try those, Nursey says I should be aiming...

I have a meter, you get them from the GP for free, here.

Yes, I have met with Nursey this morning, and she says I should be having 2 portions a day (Fruit, that is) and that I should be aiming for 5gm of sugar in foods. So, at least I know what to aim for, now. However, it seems I am not a well button, so have to watch it or I will end up a) in...

Surely sugar is sugar wherever it comes from? When I was feeling really thirsty, I was just drinking stuff like fruit juices, and because I was trying to lose weight was eating only fruit after 7pm and that must have been what made my levels really high. So I am trying to avoid too much fruit...

I bought some Irish Fruits but the ones I got may not be the right ones, when I got them home I read it properly and it says no added sugar on the front, but in the other bit it says each 125g pot provides 66 cals, 0.3 fat 0.1 saturates 9.0 sugars and 0.4 salt. Did I get the wrong ones?

going online to get one - now. How many are sugar free I saw one with Stevia, is that the only one?
