Hi all, hope you’re keeping well. Haven’t posted for a while, but still check in regularly to see how everyone’s getting on. I have a wedding to attend on Friday (just the evening do), but having learned what the food options are I have to say I’m a little stumped! [emoji848] Hoping to get...

So, my results from last weeks blood test are in and I'm reasonably happy overall [emoji4]. A1C - 5.2% (33 mmol). Very happy with this as I thought it might be higher! It's slightly up from last years 5.1% but I'm not going to lose sleep over 0.1% [emoji6] Overall cholesterol 5.6 (was 5.7 last...

Hi all, I hope you're all doing well. I'm doing good on the whole, feeling much better generally, bs under control (as in no hypos!) and I've even managed several days out with plenty of walking in the past few weeks. If anything my numbers seem a little higher these days, but I'm due a Hba1c...

Does anyone have an easy low carb cake recipe that my 7 year old could make me for Mothers Day please? My Daughter got upset last night as she desperately wants to bake me a cake all by herself, but knows I can't eat them. I've tried a couple of low carb recipes but they haven't turned out...

Hi Guys, I hope you're all keeping well? I haven't been around for a while and have been doing pretty good, however the last couple of mornings I have had a drop in BG 30-40 mins after breakfast. This morning I was 5.3 before eating and then felt low while on the school run (I drove today so...

Hi all! I'm new to the Libra having fitted my second sensor earlier this week and unfortunately seem to be getting random results. I thought it might just be that the sensor needed to settle down as I've read a few other posts saying this can take a couple of days. This is now day 5. The first...

Here's my first 24 hours. I'm quite happy with it, but welcome any comments or feedback. I activated the sensor around 5pm yesterday and created the graph around 6pm today, just to have a play. The 3.9 reading was the sensor and not a true reading. I felt fine and measured 5.3 in my...

As you know I'm just getting over a nasty stomach bug that lasted most of last week. My eating has almost returned to normal but I'm having trouble keeping my levels up. Any ideas? Yesterday for example my fasting level was 4.6 which is becoming the norm for me. I had my usual breakfast and...

Hi all. I don't know what's going on but my Fbg seems to be getting lower and lower. A week or so ago my usual level was mid 5's, this morning it's 4.3 and I nearly passed out in the bathroom. I still feel really dodgy now. I've checked my blood pressure this morning and that was fine. For the...

Hi all, I hope you don't mind but I wanted to share my results from last weeks blood tests. I'm very pleased with both and I know you guys will understand how much it means and what a relief it is! My Hba1c has reduced from 5.4 to 5.1 so very happy with that. My cholesterol has gone up a bit...

Morning, I'm a little confused by my fasting levels and wondered if anyone can offer any advice please? This morning I woke around 5.30am and popped to the loo. Went back to bed but was feeling a little hungry. Woke again at 7am and tested at 5.7. Ate 3 Brazil nuts before showering, drying...

I have a theory as to why I occasionally have lower than expected readings after breakfast at weekends and welcome any thoughts. I might not use the correct terminology etc so please excuse me! I woke at 7am with the kids and was feeling a little hungry. I didn't check my bs and was feeling...

I've had several conversations lately with people that have, or know someone that has similar symptoms to RH. Makes you wonder how many are undiagnosed? My hairdresser has just been telling me of an 80 year old client who has suddenly started to pass out and have hypos. After several trips in...

Morning all! Has anyone of my fellow RHers been referred to an allergy specialist? My GP and Endocrinologist had a chat last week to see if there are any further tests that could be carried out to throw any further light on why I'm still not feeling great and they came up with a referral to an...

Hi all, hope you don't mind me picking your brains please? I'm having a challenging day today! I woke with an all time high for me of 6.5, but felt fine so had my usual breakfast. 2 hours later I was 6.2 and still feeling good so I carried on with the housework and ate my small Apple (usual...

Hi all, I have a question for the ladies please, regarding "that time of he month" and sugar levels. I'm not diabetic but have reactive hypogleacemia and a few days before my period is due to start I have much more difficulty controlling my blood sugar levels. My fasting level increases to high...

This morning I woke feeling a little shaky. After my shower but before breakfast I tested my bg at 5.7. Breakfast at c 8am was Greek yogurt, 15g nutty muesli (a little less than normal), 7 raspberries, 6 blueberries, 20g almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 1 hour later I'm feeling shaky and...

I'm not diabetic but do have RH and wondered if anyone has any experience of quinoa and if it has much affect on bg levels? I realise it's still a carb, but I can tolerate a small amount per meal generally. Just wondered if it was bad news? I've noticed that Tilda do a pouch of brown basmati...

Hi guys, hope you're all having a fantastic Christmas break! I have caught my first cold since my RH diagnosis and wondering if what I'm experiencing is normal for diabetics or RHers? My fasting bg was a normal 5.2 this morning. Had my normal breakfast and after 2 hours I was 6.8 which is...

My levels appear to be on the slightly higher side for the past couple of days and I'm super sensitive to carbs. So much so that two hours after dinner tonight I was 7.8 and beginning to feel the inevitable hypo coming on. I'm still learning and am never quite sure what is best to eat at this...
