Hi CharlieJack, Sorry about your diagnosis, you need too find a diet that works for you and enables you too keep your BG levels in check and at healthy levels, the idea that eat starchy carbs every meal is very contentious and shouldn't really be followed if you take into account that any...

OMG West Ham are staying up.

What I was referring too was lisonopril making some people prone too light-headedness and funny turns, it's usually why they start people off on the 2.5mg dose and work them up too a more effective dose, unfortunately alot of the time in preventative treatment people will stay on the 2.5mg and...

I feel quite awkard asking this, but could it be age related - menopause?

Could be a side effect of the medication you are on - are you on lisinopril by any chance?

I try too avoid green days or I will have a small portion of pasta or rice - always wholemeal as it converts too glucose at a much slower rate.

I am at a loss too it all really, I'm apparently a rare case in regards too my age and it being type 2, when you get type 2 at the expected age - 40-60, he said by then the pancreas will not be able too recover but at my age it is still possible - this is from a man who is an expert in diabetes...

He said that my pancreas was getting back to normal function.

Last week I posted about some strange terminology used in a letter from my consultant in which he said complete eradication is possible. Went too my GP too query this and recieve some blood results. He backed up this claim by saying that yes indeed, due too my age, complete eradication is...

I am of the opinion that if a someone is willing too make the changes in their lifestyle and follow the advice of their DC and GP then they have shown them they are serious about tackling and maintaining good BG levels - however I know diabetics who drink 6 - 12 pints of beer a day and show no...

Will do, thanks Ken (hope I can call you Ken :D ). Been really good reading and listening too your advice from the short time I've been on here - I do not like bothering my Mother much as she works alot and I must say this forum is absolutely brilliant and can be relied upon for sensible and...

It's strange it's almost as if I would want it too spike as at least then I would know where I stood.

She said she would expect some sort of rise after that dinner, For me it doesn't make sense at all, I've had one Metformin today and that was nearly 13 hours ago and my BG has not gone above 6 today, gonna test later as you and her suggested but I must say it doesn't make much sense.

I don't believe so, I test as the instructions tell me too test, and it had returned high readings on other diabetics, so doesn't seem too be that.

I thought about that, but I would expect some sort of rise with that dinner, I spoke too her about it and she said the same thing and that it was a bit odd that there was no rise. Seeing my Doctor Friday and will mention it. Cheers, Ben.

Hi again Roxy, At slimming world atm, 3 stone in 2 months, you need too tailor it too your own needs and diabetic requirements, ignore the standard line of eating starchy carbs every meal, find your balance, be proactive, go that extra mile and you will lose the weight. Good luck, Ben.

I am not clutching at straws just genuinely baffled by such a reading.

I was diagnosed about 2-3 months ago, after going too hospital with a BG reading 20.6, since then I have lost 3 1/2 stone and excercise regulary. For dinner I had a chicken breast in a tomato sauce with some wholemeal pasta and some salad, now I would expect this too make me have a significant...

However for some unexplained reason my nose fell off - very odd. :wink:

Of course you will Roxy, the effects lasted about 3-4 hours for me and nothing after - hope it all goes well. Ben.
