I would say typically I don't ,but it just depends on how I feel .Today I've just eaten some nuts as a snack and I feel OK .I will then eat dinner in the evening .

I can just about live without pasta ,rice ,potato etc.. but I can't live without crunchy toast and I only eat it in the morning. Your breakfast sounds delicious but for me that's what I would eat for dinner . I feel satisfied after toast in the morning and it doesn't make me hungry afterwards

My results are in .The first one was 106mg/dL . 2 hours after eating breakfast which was 2 pieces of wholemeal toast with butter it was 122mg/dL .I take my 500mg of metformin with breakfast too. Does that sound acceptable? I feel its OK as its still in the normal range . Thanks for all your...

Thank you both for the advice .

I finally bit the bullet and purchases a monitoring kit .I have been type 2 for nearly 2 years but usually get tested at the hospital ,although I have not been for a while .My doctor never found it necessary to test after I had eaten only after a 12 hour fast . So I felt now was a time to see...

Thanks for that but I don't test myself I only rely on my doctors readings and I need to lower my protein. Breakfast would usually be egg , cheese , 1 slice of bread and some milk in my coffee sometimes altogether or sometimes a combination .I've been snacking on nuts so will cut them out ...

How much protein should I be eating per day? I looked at older posts and was a bit confused I saw one that said 0.8 per kg or 1.1 per kg of my weight. I'm currently 82kg down from 95kg but today I had a blood test at the hospital and for the 2nd time my uric acid is too high . The doctor didn't...

Yes all of my meals are freshly cooked ,we have good outdoor fresh fruit and veg markets but I sometimes find it a chore to cook because we all eat differently . My husband and daughter don't like a lot of veg that I like and are not fussed on salads where as I could eat it 4/5 times a week ...

Aww thanks for your offer but I will see what I can do/get here first .I haven't spoken to my diabetic nurse for a few months so will see what she says. I was only diagnosed end of September so this is still fairly new to me and I haven't researched it but of course there has to be type 2...

I think maybe I have been naive in thinking my body could handle more carbs then it actually can . As well as Christmas we had 2 birthdays in January so I did eat some cake which I completely cut out before and Ive just been eating a little extra of this and that I don't write anything down as...

I could get a meter sent to my mums address in the UK that shouldn't be a problem and she could bring it out to me I'm sure ,but she only visits once a year so my problem would be the strips .I don't think i could afford to bulk buy. I will do some more research here and see what I find out...

A few reasons I suppose,time and effort . I have bad eczema on my hands anyway so not sure testing my fingers everyday will cause me even more pain then I already deal with daily .I don't know if I can deal with it but I know if I want to get better control then its something I will have to do...

Thanks for the advice, maybe I just need to get better control as Im still fairly new to this . If I'm honest I don't really want to go down the meter route . I will be visiting the hospital in the next few days so will ask their advice as to whether I should test everyday or not .

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this or are suffering with this .I wanted to ask a few questions like is this a part of diabetes or related to it or even a separate issue from it ? I've been suffering for a while with stomach issues even before I was diagnosed probably a year and...

Can't help with your question but just wanted to say my mum suffered with TN too ,its such an awful condition she suffered for a good 4 to 5 years I think . She lost a lot of weight just because it was so difficult to eat,she had to put soup in a syringe because eating with a spoon would cause...

I still avoid all fruit juice and most fruits (apart from berries or apple) potato, pasta...not been brave enough to try pasta and I do miss it..and unless it's low carb bread I avoid. I personally know when I have a spike because I can feel it- tingling down my arms and legs, shaky and tummy...

Thank you everyone for your advice . Before I got diagnosed I felt really really stressed and a sence of heaviness if that makes sence but with this new low carb diet I feel much better ,mentally better so its definitely a way of life from now on but with the occasional treat. I would like to...

Hi everyone I just wanted to update on my latest hospital visit .Its been 1 month since I had my blood sugar tested .last month it was 168mg/dL or 9.3mmol/L and Im pleased to say yesterdays reading was 99mg/dL or 5.5mmol/L. I put myself on a low carb diet as the first advice I got was to not...

Thanks for the info .
