Hi, I'm looking to replace my normal food stuff with low sugar and low carb alternatives that closly match the originals. I have posted before about sweet chilli sause and did not get many replies so I assume its not something thats normally done. I'm thinking of trying it next weekend - the...

Right I'm looking for a sanity check - and to be honest I trust the people here more than I do my GP. My thought about this whole thing is that I should use all the controls possible that I can to keep my BG in normal ranges, and as long as I do with eyes wide open there should be no problems...

So had a real poor day in work today. Was pretty stressy ...... checked my BG 3 hours after breakfast (could not do the 2 hour) and it was 7.9! I have been getting about 6 at the two hour and yesterday was a 5.4 How much would a bad day add to my BG?

Do you think this could work?

Hi, Being diagnosed about 2 weeks ago I have been on a pretty steep learning curve over the last couple of weeks. My doctor has recomended trying just diet/weight loss first off. I have been testing my BG and generally speaking my before meal levels are high 5 to mid 6 and 90 mins after a meal...

Hi, Is it worth doing this myself? If so how often? I have read that the level for diagnosis is 7 and while I understand that lower is better what is a rough figure I should be aiming for? Thanks in advance

Hi Being pretty new to this whole watching sugars thing I've been surprised to find that milk has quite a bit of sugar in it. The biggest surprise was that skimmed milk had a little more sugar in in it than whole milk. I don't understand why milk is considered bad - is it just the sugar...

So we all know its bad ...... but I don't drink much or often (averaging probably about 3 pints a week if that) but I'd like to know how bad the things I drink are for my BG levels. I can't seem to find much information on particular drinks - although there seems to be some on generals. Does...
