I'm not sure how things are going to go. My blood sugars have been above 14. I expected the high one last night as I'd had a piece of cake whilst visiting and had to eat as hungry. So wasn't too concerned. However, this morning, was 14.7. I hadn't eaten since 9.30pm, I only had a few sips of...

I have the ice cream for the swallowing difficulties. It's just unfortunate that I have an allergy list as long as your arm so add that to my dietary restrictions and very complicated to prepare foods. Hopefully the dietician will Habe spoken to the kitchen tomorrow and I will get something...

Thank you. I got to see the dietician assistant today and she will be sorting out the nebu as I said it's supposed to be stored in a shared area on the kitchen computer. It's apple juice squash. My diabetes are the usual. Glitaxin (not sure how to spell), alyglyptin and when blood sugars over...

I am currently in hospital after suffering from symptoms related to excessive high blood sugars. Whilst I've been in here all I can eat is porridge for breakfast, then jacket potato with bitter with jelly and ice cream as I'm still waiting for the dietician to see me. Knowing my luck, it will be...

I am in a similar situation, my blood sugar's have been persistently high since January but at first. I put it down to steroids as was on increased dosage. However, normally the levels reduce and return to normal within s few days of going back to my maintenance dosage. Not this time, this time...

Hi, I was trying to connect to my Bayer glucofact software and download plus manually enter reading data but it appears this software is obsolete and I had to register with glucontrol.online think name was to download my readings to the online account. I'm just wondering if anyone who used...

So, I spoke to the receptionist yesterday, where I asked for an appointment next week with either the Dr or the diabetic nurse. She asked a few questions and said no, you need to speak to someone now. I'm sending an email through but it maybe tomorrow now before they ring you. As she...

I have been type 2 fir 5 years now so you would expect me to be able to control my blood sugar's well and to know how to lower them when high. Yet, I still have no idea food wise, on this area. Low levels, easy, small amounts of sugar stuff and fruit juice but come to high levels and I'm...

My sympathy are with you. I was diagnosed as T2 back in 2018 and still unsure of what to do! Like you, I get told they are a bit high and repeat in 3 months time. Unfortunately, Covid affected everything and appointments with diaticians failed to materialise. If you have not got a meter...

Today it was 12.2 - on waking. 18.1 - 2 hours after breakfast (1 oatabix and milk) plus weak coffee. Lunch has been a 2 slice sandwich of ham and cheese but didn't finish. 17.9 - 2 hours after lunch. I've been told that my hb1Ac test has been high at 80 and my meds has now been reduced...

Thank you. I have a booked telephone appointment with the GP so they may reduce my meds further.

Thank you. I have a complicated diet so limited as to what I can eat. I've had to change from my gluten free rolls as they dint help control the sugar levels. My blood sugar level at 4.30 am was 13.6. I'm presuming that would be classed as a fasting reading as not eaten since 9pm the previous...

Hi, I have type two. It is controlled via two medications. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and I am on antibiotics again (third course since March). Instead of having my steroids increased to eight a day for five days, then reduced by one tablet every three days, which really made me ill, a...

I do a three day food diary for the dietician but not normally. My diet is bland and same things with just the protein changed. Protein is either roast chicken (these pieces would be about the size of a small celebration sweet times three pieces - that's the chicken.. .lol), or pork, beef...

It's not the dietician who says to eat to medication, it's the manufacturer leaflet which days take with food. That's ok if it's breakfast, lunch or tea time bit it's bedtime that's the issue....Hence slice of toast. Trying without eating just made me feel I'll and very nauseous etc, so not...

Its only one slice of buttered toast. I don't eat big meals....mine are like kids meal size. I had my evening meal the other night and my daughters reaction was "mum is that all your eating - what about veg?" I had a small oven baked jacket potato with a slice of Turkey. So she added in a few...

Well....yesterday I found out that a simple half slice of ham, two slices of tomato in a lightly butterred roll was my enemy....my blood sugar went from 2.5 up to 15 in the space of 30 mins but then increased to 21.8 by the time it was hour after eating. Just so glad didn't eat the banana as well!
