Type 2; last HBA1C 5.4

Also, I had my lunch at around the same time as you - an apple, two slices wholegrain bread with a slice of ham, coleslaw and loads of lettuce; and my reading is 6.4. Don't worry you'll get the hang of it.

Hi, Getting your head around the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Loading can be a bit of a bother at first but take it from me, it really works! I would say it wasn't the quantity of what you ate but the carb content. You don't specify what type of pasta was in the salad but if it was white...

Don't know what happened with those emoticons!

Hi all! Just an update - the figures above were given to me by the nurse as she took each half hourly reading but did say that the lab results would be much more accurate. Got a letter this morning from the doc who gave the lab readings - 4.6 (82.8) fasting 12.7 (228.6) 15.1 (271.8) 14.1...

Thanks Clover, The understanding on this board is just great. My family and friends are so supportive and my husband is really the best in the world but they can't possibly imagine how hard this can be to live with especially in our state of limbo. It's difficult when the blood sugar level...

Thank you Moya, am going to check this site now. Thanks again Mary! No, you're definitely not thick! It's me really, but it's great to go somewhere (here) to become educated on this. Feeling very sick at the moment and a little scared marjfra

Hi Mary, Thanks for getting back to me so soon, really appreciate it. I have Insulin Resistance (or Metabolic Syndrome as I think it is also called) and it is a pre-diabetic condition. There is a remarkably goo section on this condition on this website. But I really fear that it has now...

Hi, I'm a newbie and very grateful to have found this forum as since I was rediagnosed last July, I've been frightened, frustrated and quite alone with this. I'm ploughing through the posts and am trying to absorb all the information which I really need and regret that I didn't get. This...
