I don't fear fat, on on f I am a firm believer that fat doesn't make you fat sugar makes you fat. However, I feel some are misinformed about saturated fat and the damage it can do to your arteries.

Nothing wrong with fat in general but the saturated fat in that amount of cheese is a no no. A balanced diet but generally I am testing to see what I can have and can not have.

It doesn't seem to affect my blood too much. The only thing that spikes is large meals and bread. 125g cooked rice seems ok. I had keto pizza tonight but the shock of using so much cheese to make it (200g) frightens me more that diabetes. Albeit I had a small amount but still too much fat.

Thanks, I have just updated my profile as I am now on Metformin SR 1000mg per day. My diet is a lot better than it was. Lunch: mini babybel, walkers baked crisps and yogurt. 2 discs of dark chocolate. (Lily O'Brien's) Snacks grapes, apples, strawberries. Dinner: keto chicken, chicken with...

Hey all, I was diagnosed in January and had my first blood test today it is 49 down from 50 at diagnosis Not the best but at least it is stable.

I should have also said, any suggestions of what to take that obviously is not fresh food that will sit for hours. Thanks

Of course. As it is a day case I will be fasting and going in at 8am and out after 5pm

I do avoid bread. Hence my original question about what to do on the day of the procedure.

Sorry. Heart angiogram. My blood sugar is fairly stable just not with bread.

Hi all, this is an odd question but I am due to have an angiogram in a couple of weeks and the thing I am most nervous about is after the op. I remember when my dad has been in hospital, they always offer a sandwich or biscuits after the procedure. This is a day case. My blood sugar goes really...

You are correct. My fasting glucose was 8.7 this morning. Thanks for all the info. I am slowly changing habits of a life time.

I had to rush and test again. Phew, it was 6.9 that was 3 and half hours. Thankfully I don't have pizza very often but it just surprised me that the sandwich and crisps spiked it so much more

So strange what you learn from having diabetes. Last week I was busy, and on the run I had a sandwich and packets of crisps. My blood was 9.7 that was 3 hours after eating. Tonight, I had pizza and garlic bread (shhh) anyway my blood was 7.9 after 2 hours. Amazing!

That is the hardest adjustment. I have spent my life eating a balance diet including potatoes, pasta rice etc. I have now concluded that rice is a big NO, Asta is ok in very small amounts and bread is ok if I have one slice but I try to avoid. I don't know about bananas. I assume I test after...

This evening I had chicken with soy sauce and wholewheat egg noodles at 36g per serving and 2.7g of fibre. I know some people spoke with rice, noodles, pasta etc but I do like a little starchy carbs. So adding everything I have on a day. I have had 114g of carbs. Now, does sound high? I know...

So if eat something that has 20g of carbs and 18g of sugar that is still better than something that is 70g of carbs and 1g of sugar?

Hi all I have been diabetic about a month or so. I started metformin, which is great as it has curved my appetite dramatically. I am still a little confused bout carbs. I have bought some gallon sugar free wafers. I think per 100g there is 63g of carbs and 0.5g of sugar. I also looked at...

Sorry. Testing 2 hours after eating.

Hi all, Prior to having diabetes, I periodically tested my blood, my dad being diabetic. My results always ranged between 7 - 11. This was the same for years, even though my hbA1c was about 6.4 Now that I am diabetic my blood sugar for the last few days has been 5.4 I still have bad days with...

Thanks all, very interesting I guess I will see what my first hbA1c will show since being on medication not due until next month. I was lucky because I was diagnosed early and diagnosis was 6.7
