    Annoyed at myself

    I feel the same way about the charity bake sales at work. I found myself giving this lengthy explanation only to be told by one of the lady bakers that she has a recipe for beetroot brownies [emoji849]

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.5 this morning after a particularly traumatic bout of food poisoning in France yesterday . I’m sure it’ll go back up again!

    Footsteps In The Sand

    I am fortunate to not have neuropathy with my T2. But my older brother (also T2) has no sensation at all and ignored a foot issue a few years ago which became infected. When he eventually went to see his doctor, he was advised to keep off his feet and have regular dressing changes. This resulted...

    Mohnesse 12000 Steps

    Loads of walking much like yourself. Avoiding the beer! I had one meal out that looked like fried salmon fillet (I suspect a little flour was involved) cooked in butter with creamed spinach. It was delicious and I managed the phrase for no potatoes please!

    Mohnesse 12000 Steps

    Today I walked with my daughter in Germany where she will start her new job next week. It has been very challenging eating out or self catering (lots of cheese [emoji848]). We walked to the dam (which had been damaged by a bouncing bomb in WW2) and back to our car. I was delighted to find that...

    T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

    7.1 [emoji17] I suspect lightly dusted sole fillet served with veggies by my Mum for dinner last night-more crust than fish! Other than that scrambled eggs for breakfast and chicken salad for lunch yesterday. Just when I was getting used to those BGs in the sixes!

    Delighted [emoji3]

    Thank you all. I couldn’t have done this without my ‘haunting’ (borrowed phrase) of the forum. I felt completely overwhelmed at the start of this journey and it helped tremendously

    Should I be disappointed?

    Thank you. I have always suffered with high expectations of myself [emoji849]. I have increased my activity with the aid of my Fitbit. Reading these responses makes me realise that I should pay closer attention to my food intake and subsequent BG monitoring. I’ll be looking forward to my next...

    Should I be disappointed?

    The lack of exercise is my downfall. I am hoping that now the lighter evenings are here I will feel more like getting out walking more. I am gradually increasing my daily steps

    Should I be disappointed?

    I manage to be below 40g carbs most days, on some days lower than 30g. I log all my meals into MFP

    Should I be disappointed?

    I am testing but not every meal. My BG was 6.6 before dinner tonight (steak and veggies) and a glass of red wine. Two hours later it was 8.6 Most days I manage to be below 40g carbs. It took me a while in January to get into the diagnosis and the LC

    Should I be disappointed?

    Hi. I have just got my results back from my three month HbA1c test on Wednesday. It is 79 down from 103. I am not medicated (my choice) and didn’t really start my LC regime until January. I was hoping it would be lower
