Ah yes that's a good point about the exercise and other variables, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you :)

Hi, I need to test that my ratio for my evening meals is correct, and to do that I think it would be best to have the same meal a few nights in a row and see what happens to my blood glucose levels. The trouble is that I'm struggling to think of meals where I can be sure of the carb content. I...

Today is a good example of why I am so baffled by my high sugars all week: Friday means I have a cooked breakfast from the work's canteen, this consists always of 1 slice of toast, 1 slice of bacon, 1 fried egg and 1 hash brown. I count this as being 40g of carbs as an educated guess. So using a...

@Lynne C J Thank you, having breakfast earlier is what I will be trying next, it also opens up my options for food because I don't have access to a microwave at work. @VivD Thank you for the suggestions, I'm going to look into more high fat and protein/low carb options. By HIT do you mean that...

Well I'm just about pulling my hair out at this point. Tried increasing the bolus dose this morning and still got a reading of 18.5 two hours after eating. In comparison, when I used to have some sort of breakfast bar (typically 30g carbs) with the same ratio, I found my sugars would go back to...

Very interesting, thank you all. I’ve been diabetic for almost 9 years and I’m only just discovering how protein and fat also factor into BG control and it’s all a little overwhelming. I will look at full fat yogurts next time I shop and cut out the raisins. For now, I think it’s clear that I...

The yogurt is fat free but not sure about added sugar. The carb content of one pot is 5.3g. Is this a problem? I don't really fancy switching to a full fat one, thought this would be a healthier option. I have however been counting the carbs for the mixed nuts & raisins wrong! :facepalm: I had...

Thank you both! There is definitely a learning curve here and I think my ratio may not be quite right. I'm keeping a food diary and going back to the dietician in a couple of weeks so hopefully she can provide some insight. Today I'm eating the same but seeing if splitting the novorapid dose...

Hi! New to the forums, I'm Type 1 and injecting Novorapid for meals and Lantus in the evening. I'm trying to tackle my high sugars in the mornings. I recently saw a diabetes dietician and she suggested I make a switch from my usual breakfast bars of about 30g of carbs to something with low GI...
