If I have a glass of milk before bed, my morning level will only be around 7, in fact, since diagnosis, I haven't been over a 9. I now realise how lucky (so far) I am. ...

I've been seeing if there's a link between raised morning levels and getting up during the night. I wake a lot during the night, as I have a dog who needs food during the night (he has ibd, needs food in his stomach, or he's sick). Some mornings my bloods higher than others. Does eating a carby...

Thank you, its nice to know I'm in the right direction! Ooh, Greek yogurt... Yummmmmmmm

I do allow myself 2 squares of 90% choc a day, that's my little treat lol

I drink chai tea... It has cinnamon in it which is good for regulating bs.

I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and in that time my fasting result was 12.6, and now my 30 day average on my meter is 6.7. Is this in the right area, do I need to do more diet modifications, or is it OK to just carry on as I am? I have no idea if this is fast or slow! TIA. X

As a recent diabetic, my new attitude to food is if it doesn't mess with my glucose levels, I'm gonna eat it! I've had to stop eating so much stuff (I'm grain free, sugar free, potato free, low carb) that I'm going to enjoy whatever else I can eat! The weight is gradually coming off, so that's...

Oh OK, thanks so much. Will have a looksie. X

Hi all. I'm really struggling to get my morning bs down. Anyone have any tips? I'm not on meds at the mo, I've not even seen my dsn yet. My blood sugar is much better during the day, but first morning test is the highest. Thanks in advance.

How is quinoa for carbs? Is there a list anywhere of carb values for veg? I've been swapping potato with squash but don't know the values! I'm sorry for the silly questions - I'm such a newb.

Thanks all. I've been having one meal that contains carbs, 50g of w/m pasta for instance. Am I better just dumping it altogether? My monitor is on its way, so haven't a clue at mo of bs. The other meals or snacks I have I try to avoid the carbs. For instance Greek yogurt for breakfast, then a...

I asked this, and you ignore the sugar one and go for carbs total.

Hi all. I have a newbie question.... I'm trying to have low carbs, and I see people mention grams of carbs on here. What amount is a starting point for someone lowering carbs in grams? When I check nutrition info, do I look at total carbs or carbs that sugar?? Does this make sense?

I've ordered a monitor so I'll be able to keep track. I'm going to write it down, along with what I eat. I feel quite stupid really. I've done this to myself. I've been comfort eating for the last year or two, sometimes I'd just eat carbs for days. I'm really craving right now, and I always feel...

Thanks everyone. I have so much to learn, I'm sure I'll be on here a lot!

Thank you so much for your advice. I feel very low at mo, I have depression and an anxiety disorder also. I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. This morning was an apple and cheese. I also like Greek yogurt. Can't do eggs first thing, as they make me gag! I'm confused about things like sugar free...

Hi all. I am very new to all this, and am confused. I had my bloods taken last week, fasting glucose 12.6, the other test was 10.4. My gp rang me and said I may be borderline diabetic.y brother is type 2, and said my results mean I am diabetic. I've started on wheat belly diet (no carbs, no...
