    Diet for diabetics

    @johnboy412000 I was diagnosed in early 2013 and given an opportunity to lose weight and lower my BGLs without medication. HBA1c was 8 and I was 24 kilos overweight. After trawling the net for information on Type 2 D I decided to try a low carb/high fat diet. I lost 25kg in 6 months and...

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    4.0 this morning. Cold, windy and wet. Looks like a day on the couch with a good book as venturing out would be insane. Dogs are happy to doze in front of the fire.

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    4.1 this morning. @minidvr it might be an interesting exercise for you to test one hour after meals to see how high you spike after eating. Your two hour test numbers are great but your one hour post prandial might be why your fasting number is higher - and of course the early morning liver...

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    @AndBreathe I'm thinking it must equate to 25? Keep in mind I'm about 10 months ahead of you in controlling my D so if you continue as you are you will most likely see a number below 5. However, I believe that your current numbers are what most Ds aspire to achieve so even if there's no...

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    3.9 this morning. Have been away again for a few days and ate well and consistently kept numbers in my range, high 3s to low 4s pre and post prandial. Except for - dined with friends who provided delicious steak and salad main course - no problems there. However when a small individual home...

    You will mutilate and kill me, so I will say goodby forever. Soon.

    Totto, I gave up by using Champix. Haven't smoked for 6 months now and so pleased to have put my 30 a day habit behind me. The only side effect I experienced was vivid dreams (not nightmares). I would recommend this method if cold turkey doesn't work.

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    Quite a high 4.6 (for me) this morning. High winds had the tall trees thrashing the house all night which kept me awake for hours and when I finally fell asleep it was only for an hour or so here and there. Kept getting up (the old you're awake so you must need a pee syndrome). I think my...

    @Debmcgee, coconut oil is a solid, until heated to a certain temperature, so you can just spoon it from the jar - delicious. Alternatively use it for frying or incorporate it into your cooking/baked items as the 'fat' ingredient. Coconut oil has an amazing effect on the gastric system; quiet...

    Have been away so lax in posting. Since last post (Friday) readings have been in the high 3s with a 4.0 this morning. Deb, have you tried a spoonful or two of coconut oil to counteract your constipation?

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    3.7 this morning. Gordon, I'm a walker, a good couple of miles, or three, each day with the dogs and I'm convinced it has very beneficial effects on both BGLs and weight loss.

    just started testing

    Some days there will be readings from 3.5 to 4.2 pretty consistently pre and post prandial. Other days low 4s to low 5s. Not a lot of rhyme or reason as to why but that's D for you!
