@JohnEGreen ... Thanks for your advice, I had no idea that sago was so high on carbs... I will def avoid going forward. I have tried eating an apple with almond butter in sometimes or cheese, but even that has really helped in the morning, I guess I will have to wait for the overall to stabilise...

Thanks for your advice, that def helps.

hi there, I have a couple of questions re my sugar a levels. I have been really good since being diagnosed in April and have slowly been getting my daily blood glucose levels down. I have another check up at the docs where they will check my HBA1C, where I am hoping that it will have reduced...

Hi all, not sure what's happened, but just tested my BG for before breakfast reading and it's 8.3, which is pretty high for fasting reading isn't it. Didn't have anything bad yest, so not sure what has caused it. Have to see my diabetic nurse today so will see what they say. Sent from my...

@debrasue , that's great news, well done. I have a review tomorrow after 6weeks, and considering that I have only just got hold of a BG monitor since yesterday, in not expecting great results, but do hope that the results have come Down little bit at least. Today's results were playing, had...

Thank you, I will try some of these recipes and see how I get on. I test my sugar pre lunch and it was 6.4, will test again a little later for the post lunch levels. I had some chicken kebabs wrapped in lettuce leaves with some cucumber batons, cherry tomatoes and gherkins. Fingers crossed the...

Hi there, yeah I would but can't have high fat foods either as am in verge of high cholesterol so trying to be careful not to increase that too. I'm feeling really down to be honest as trying so hard and have cut out so many things, lister ally living on salads and lean meat, no salt, no sugar...

@Sable_Jan and @debrasue, was diagnosed approx 6 weeks ago. Yesterday I went out for the first time since being diagnosed as I had other complications before which meant I couldn't be active. When I was diagnosed my hba1c was quite high I believe. I think it was around 12.5. I'm on metformin 1g...

Thanks all for your replies. I will work on the advice here. I have managed to get hold of a BG device and tested last night at 8.2 approx 3 hrs post meal ( unable to test earlier) and this morning pre breakfast, I was 7.4 which seems a little high? What do you think? I will be test in another...

Can we eat chocs like maltesers? If so how much? Unknown sounds like a dumb question Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thanks @hankjam. My diabetic nurse told me that was a safe thing to eat. So I chose oatabix as the least amount of sugar that I could find that I found eatable and then have banana maybe once or twice a week but most days have with blueberry. When I go back to work I will only be able to have...
