Many thanks, will try and get my blood sugars down a bit more. Congratulations on reversing your Type 2.

Can anyone tell me why my blood sugar is within my targets during the night, but as soon as I get up it shoots up past 11, and that's without breakfast?? Is this the dawn phenomenon and is there any way to stop it? Many thanks Genie

8.3 This morning, not sure why I am high every morning. I go down later on in the day, but nearly always high in the morning. Is it because of what I am having for my evening meal??? I try not to have too many carbs before bedtime, usually have a salad, a couple of potatoes, meat in some form...

Hi there, I have a CGM, the Libre 2, and I find it invaluable. It lets me know exactly what my sugar is doing at any time of the day, and I can work out what foods really make my sugars spike, some foods are a surprise and others not. They are expensive, as I have to buy them myself, works out...

Hi, If you try and stick to somewhere between 120 - 150 you should lower your blood count and maybe lose a little weight. Good luck. Genie1

Lot cheaper to make your own, just blitz a cauli in the blender ,bit at a time, till it looks like rice then warm in microwave for 2 minutes. Go on the internet and type in "low carb meals" and you will get loads of ideas

Hi Jojotaylor, Try the cauliflower rice with your curry, don't tell the kids, I bet they wont even notice. Go onto My Fitness Pal on the internet, it will tell you exactly how many carbs are in anything you want to eat, even curry, and as long as you stay with around 50 carbs per meal, 150 a...

Hello @daisy1 , I would like to ask other members a question but not sure how to go about it. I have watched the video but can't work out how to do it, sorry, not much good on this kind of thing, hope you can help. Kind regards Genie1

I buy LIVLIFE bread from Morrisons £1.00, also Waitrose. £1.50 It has only 4 carbs per slice, it is only a small loaf and has seeds in it, but it's really filling and really nice, ideal for diabetics. Genie1
