    Pasta,Rice, Root Veg recommendations

    I've just read your link and this seems to be groundbreaking stuff. I'm not sure, though, what eating twice heated white rice would be like. The word-stodge- comes to mind!

    Understanding my new blood/glucose monitor

    Thanks, Bluetit1802, for your very educational tips. Thinking about it, It probably was a faulty reading. I've since managed to stabilise my b/g and, this morning, it was 6.3 fasting and 5.5 after breakfast and light exercise. I'm pleased with that. The big problem that I have is to keep dinner...

    Confused by all these measuring methods

    Hi everybody. I was freshly diagnosed, 2 weeks ago, with Type 2 and a level of 62. I've since found out that there are, at least, 2 other scales that are regularly used and that my reading would be equivalent to 7.8 and 9.8! Why all this confusion?
