I soak my chia seeds for about half an hour then add them to my oatmeal before cooking. Can be a bit binding if you don't soak them first ;)

Would this effect just the fasting blood sugar level, or could it have a knock-on affect for the rest of the day? Asking because after a disturbed night last night, my levels seem to elevated today. Normally I have no problem getting down under 8 within 2 hours of eating, but today I'm still at...

Thanks Deb. I'm still trying to get my head around all this! I work out 5 times a week, and trying to balance what I eat, when, with it is just another spanner in the works! I'm hoping yesterday's 11.1 bg just just an anomaly, probably because I didn't eat enough before working out (homemade veg...

Can somebody please help me understand the concept of intermittent fasting and how it helps with fasting blood sugars? I was diagnosed with diabetes with an HbA1c of 54 in Sept. In January it was down to 50, following LCHF with no meds. Although my bloods 2 hours after eating are below 8.5...

Just sending you hugs. My daughter's seventeen, so I witness first hand how much harder being 17 is nowadays than it was when I was that age. Can't give you any advice about type 1, as I was just diagnosed a couple of months ago with type 2. So, apart from sympathising with you about the...

Thank you for this graphic, it's just about the most helpful thing I've come across! I've copied it (ok, my fifteen year old did!) for constant reference.

Your last comment about obese people who don't have diabetes made me laugh out loud! I was diagnosed just over two months ago with an HbA1c of 54. Although I was only a little bit overweight, I cut way down on carbs, and am now at a BMI of 22.5 (yay!). I work out (cardio, weights, HIIT etc) 5...

7.3 this morning. I'm new to this, only diagnosed 2 months ago. What do I do if my blood sugar is high in the morning? If I delay eating, ot just goes up - kind of counter intuitive. In my ignorance, I thought if your sugar was high, and you exercised, it would go down. Obviously not, so how do...

Don't you hate it when people say, "but you're too slim for diabetes!"? At least I can blame my kids' for mine: four lots of gestational diabetes was really pushing my luck, I guess!

Complete newbie here, but I'll get the ball rolling here maybe. Get yourself a good cookbook so you can get some ideas for meals, otherwise you'll end up with chicken breast and broccoli at every meal. I picked up The Big Book of Low Carb Recies by Nicola Graimes. Pretty basic, and gives some...
