The diabetic milkshake is from a diabetic cookbook so I thought it would be suitable. I find it so difficult to find things to eat first thing that are not laden with sugar. Might have to go back to boiled eggs or something. Thanks for your help.

Hi Rachox, Today I have had a diabetic milkshake made up of Banana, Strawberries, Milk, Porridge Oats and greek yogurt. 2 cups of coffee, 2 glasses of aldi diet coke. 1 hour after milkshake reading 8.7mmo/l, 2hrs, 7.8mmo/l. Before lunch reading back up to 8.1mmo/l, had lunch of Ham & cheese &...

Hi, I am been under a lot of stress recently and I can not seem to get my readings into the normal range?. I am diet controlled Type 2. I have tried going for a walk but this has had no effect and trying drinking lots of water but to no avail. This happened last week as well and my numbers did...

Thank you for all your kind replies. I have been thinking about it in a different way now. You have all given me a great boost. I am really grateful.

I have not been feeling so great lately, brain injury related stuff/depression and type 2 diabetes so I made an appointment to see the diabetic nurse for a quick check on state of play as I was not due to be seen till July. I have been generally keeping my BG under control but it feels like I am...

I do not eat veg since I was a child because of the smell and texture which makes me want to throw up, before diabetes I ate a fair bit of fruit instead. However I do like salad. I like cucumber, tomato, lettuce, onion, red onion, red pepper I also read similar to a comment earlier about going...

Half the time I feel like I am starving myself and then when I eat I see my BS sugar levels go up. then feel lethargic and then my hands are trembling. I then think I need to go for a walk to get my BS back down again. Then when I get back from my walk, test BS again, but then feel hungry again...

I am not taking any diabetes meds as such. D/N said low carb diet is the best way. How I understand it is that I can have some fruit for natural sugar as your body needs some sugar for your body to work. I also read somewhere about once your BS is above a certain level it is damaging your cells.

Prior to having my lunch today my BG was in the normal range and 2 hours later my BS was still in normal range. Generally felt c**p all day. Thought I would have an apple for some natural sugar. Blood sugar is now 7.1mmol but it is like I can recognise when my BS are up. I am confused as to...

Sorry I have not been on for a while. I seem to have days where I feel fine and then days where I feel dreadful. Everything seems to be so up and down like on a rollercoaster. I have noticed that my heart rate goes up more when I am walking than when I on my bike. I think when I am having a BG...

Hi, Prior to being diagnosed with Type 2 I was and still am taking propranolol 10mg three times a day to help stop panic attacks. Most days I can feel my heart racing and my pulse thumping. My heart rate doesn't seem to go up much when I go out for a ride on my bike..My resting heart rate is in...

I did not know about doing a retest. I am still finding things out. It was a shock at the time so my first thought was the quickest way to get my blood sugar down was to go for a walk or go out on my bike.

Yesterday after my evening meal after about an hour and a quarter I took my blood sugar and it was 28.7mmol and a ketone warning. I have never seen my meter this high before and kind of panicked and jumped onto my bike and went out cycling for an hour which got my reading down to 7.5mmol. I am...

I weighed 13st4 this morning. I have lost just over a stone since I was first diagnosed at the end of May.

I am trying to keep to a low carb diet but how much low carbs do I need to aim for say per meal?. I need to find a balance between low carb diet and having enough energy?

Just recently I asked a similar question on this forum where when I would wake up and felt completely washed out. One of the things I found out about type 2 is about dehydration and a tip was to lick your arm and if you tasted salt it meant you were dehydrated. Also have you been checked for...

It was all a bit bizarre because I am used to trying to stop my BS going over and when I saw the low reading on the meter and I wasn't sure about going to bed then. Thank you for your help folks It is reassuring.

As a Type 2 my BS were going over yesterday and I was getting somewhat frustrated, however I tested my BS before I went to bed and it was 4.1 and my True Metrix Air monitor readings when I synced it with my IPad said it was a hypo. I had a couple of biscuits and a drink and my readings went up...

I think that the nurse said something like that yesterday. I might wait to see my results from the retinal scan first.
