Ok. So I have been doing exceptionally well managing my BS and keeping them from spiking/dropping for weeks... (hurrah) However, last night - I caved and obviously got a little confident and decided to have Amoy Wok Rice Noodles with Dinner (oh how I have missed pastas) - In minutes I felt very...

Is there a link between RH being a form of 'not working properly' and being the early signs of diabetes??? I keep seeing this mentioned online and there seems to be very mixed opinions/science on it. Is there any factual evidence that is reliable anybody knows about on the subject at all...

This certainly does help - Yes, I used to exercise 6days a week, sometime twice a day when I was in Jiujitsu training :/ So I may have pushed it to the limit.....I have been out of training however for over 8months now and only do two short resistance strength training sessions and feel worse...

Two questions for my informed friends here!... 1. Can/does strength training (no cardio) cause RHers problems with insulin response/secretion post-exercise? I ask as even after short sessions of lifting things I feel shaky and very responsive to carbs after.. 2. My dietician suggested I find...

Yes. Absolutely. This kind of answers Friday's episode I had. In hindsight I had had quite a few carbs over the day in my efforts to increase my ever dropping weight (incl ricemilk with a rice protein shake after 20mins light strength training to try get my body on 'build' mode!) I felt oddly...

Am I correct in thinking; If you eliminated carbs more or less completely for so long, your body will have to switch 'back' from Ketosis (burning fats for fuel) back to burning carbs and glucose as its prime energy source? This could be contributing to feeling so rubbishy if you're in that...

Out of interest. I know my bloods should be between 4 and 7 generally(so I'm told). But what would indicate an unhealthy 'spike' soon after a meal/carbs?! I was testing 2- 2 and a half hours after a meal or if I ever felt 'off'. I think I did it once soon after eating and it was in the 7's and I...

Yes, I keep food diaries, they are very useful to reflect back on and see patterns etc. Some great tips here folks - Thank you!

DCUKMod: - I know, the GF is also a pain in the bottom for complicating things but this is necessity rather than choice (believe me!) It causes too many inconveniences for it to be a choice for me!

Kaz thank you for your advice - I feel like I'm not alone in this.. Its been so difficult and frustrating working with dietitians about weight gain, getting them to take my symptoms seriously about the carb increases. I lost weight from a quite already low 47kg to a very dangerous 41kg within a...

Thankyou Brunneria & Others. They originally were testing me for Adrenals/Fatigue issues as my cortisol levels were very low, (in the 250's) as well as my blood sugars. The SST gave a large rise to 900's, so Addison's was ruled out - Then they started looking at just my bloodsugars alone, and I...

I went to the dietitian today (which I found pretty useless to be honest, they told my what Google could have without the trip and gvae me a very basic leaflet with 'conveyor-belt NHS Eatwell plate information' and didn't really answer any of my questions! Very disappointing) I was diagnosed...
