Thanks Alanp35, Thanks Denise, No, I'm not a veggie and I walk up to 35km a week, not just general walking, shops, etc. but along the beach for an hour or so 5/6 times a week, sometimes twice a day so I'm not particularly unfit for a 62 yr non-smoker, albeit I do like a pint! It was just a bit...

I've just been told I'm Anaemic! The Dr. at this stage is unsure why I am Anaemic and am just asking questions of possibilities as I now have to have an Endoscopy!

If I ever get the sweats and it's not hot it normally means my BG's are low. When this happens I've tested and they've been as low as 1.5. Doesn't happen often now as I normally have a late snack. I've had the sweats during the day with the same end, but I normally get the shakes as well, same...

Hi, I'm also type 2 and read that water melon isn't good but when I ask why no answer! Surely they are mostly water?? Any ideas?? Cheers :?: :?:

Thanks for your reply, but, as said, I don't think I had enough pork pie, less than 1/2! On the occaisional treat day I can have a fry up and my figures are good after the 2 hrs?? Cheers :?:

Should read 1/2 a pork pie!!

Hi Neil, I eat loads of tomatoes and never have a problem, that's what's confusing. !/2 a pork pie shouldn't be a problem either I wouldn't have thought?

Such a small amount, don't normally have a problem?

Hi, Does this make sense? My BG was 5.0, 2 hrs after meal 8.9? All I had was a large salad (spinach, 3 colours of peppers {not whole ones}, pickled veg, tomatoes, cauliflower {2 florets}, 1/2 pork pie, small (2 tablespoons) of Pasta, same with coleslaw!! Why are my figures so high, don't...
