Hana, she hadn't eaten for three whole days, probablythe reason why her BG fell to 3.8 in the first place so who'se to say that it would not have fallen further? I am keeping all my fingers crossed that she will recover fully and will not have any further problems. Some people are lucky that...

Hana, I have been suffering from pancreatitis since 2004 and I know that when the BG goes as low as it did with your daughter it is not a great idea to give her some fatty food, especially when she had not eaten for 3 days. Your daugther not being a diabetic, giving her the glucose to drink was...

Hana, why go running to medics if they don't know anything? Would it not be better to treat her at home and stay away from medics?

When I was in hospital with pancreatitis my BG fell to 3.4mmol a couple of times and I was not feeling very good at all. The nurses very quickly gave me two of cups of tea with sugar and 4 chocolate biscuits, I enjoyed eating the biscuits and drinking the tea and was back on my feet in no time. :D

Thanks again for claring that up Sue, will know what to do in the future.

Thanks for claring that up Sue, appreciate it.

Maybe not the right place to ask but what's wrong with posting photos?

I am not arguing or trying to imflame anything Admin. I am trying to find out if, when you add the new sub-forum for non-low carbers, we are allowed to post links that we want. I too agree with TW that testing is the key and my question isn't too far off his question, just in the opposite...

timo, just a question. cugila wrote that "Another macro-nutrient that is available to be converted to glucose is protein" so what's the point in eating protein as a "bedtime snack" if that is going to be converted in to glucose anyway?

Sue, does this mean that those of us who do not low carb can post links/recipes for food/bread that we like eating?

Congrats Ken, I'm sure you will be an asset to this forum. :D Can I just take the opportunity here to say farewell to those who have left the Mod team, jopar, tubolard and fergus. Thanks for all you help.

John, that is in total conflict with what I have read, been told all my life and as well experienced personally and like you would be very intersted to read it as well.

Mine is 114/74.

Lel, accepting the disease and making the decision to take control is a big achievement on its own. Aziz, welcome to the forum and hope to read your success story soon.

Don't know if it'll help you but ask your GP about slow release Metformin. I think I read somewhere that it has helped some people.

I use an accu-chek and was given the software and the IR interface that connects the meter to the PC for free. I am sure other manufacturers do the same. The drawback with this sofware is that you can't log what you have eaten, it's only to log your BG levels. I use a DIY spreadsheet but am...

Ask your boss how he feels next time, maybe the change of heart is becuase either he or someone he knows has caugh the "Disease that old and fat people get !!!"

I don't think any diabetic goes without food for 5 - 12 hrs, I didn't do that even before dx.

Well, the ones you believe are giving the right advice are the good ones, the rest as is "proven" by many here are just rubbish and want to "kill us all".

The Doctors/Nurses/Diatetions and Scientists have no idea either so on that note why listen to any advice from anyone?
