So within 10 minutes, I've took 3 test on my Glucometer. First was 8.9. Second was 8.0 and third was 8.5? Sound like a faulty machine?

Thank you everyone. I have just done anothet blood test (two hours after my cake and 500ml ice-cream tub) astonishingly, my blood level is 6.6? How is this?

Really? It should be higher than that? I really need to find a dietician or diet plan

Yeah I only ordered the ice-cream and cake after I found out my blood sugar was 10.9. Pasta shouldn't do that to you surely when it's just a wee bit

Hi guy's, For those that don't know, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes just over a month ago. Since then I have made drastic changes to diet and exercised more, I've lost 9 pounds so far so thought things were on track. I've been taking a fasting test in the morning which has been between...

Anybody?? No?

Hi guys, Now that I've stopped taking Lucozade (or any sugary drinks for that matter). And cutting my carbs down. What things would be good to eat or drink before going a run and how long before a run should I consume them? Thank you

Hi. Thank you everyone for you're kind posts. @Cocosilk I'll tell you the foods I tend to eat. Breakfast: porridge (plain without sugar) Lunch: egg mayo or chicken sandwich Dinner: chicken, brocoli and parsnip/beetroot chips. Sometimes pasta with mince This, of course, is the foods I'm now...

Pre-diabetes, newly diagnosed

Yeah sorry I took you're post the wrong way. I perhaps should have explained why I took the lucozade. I feel it gives me a 'boost' physically when I'm running but when I took my blood, I was like aw ******, why is it high and my first suspect was lucozade

Hi. Thank you for advice. Didn't like @Antje77 comment if I'm honest. Asking me why I'm drinking lucozade?! If I knew it was a bad thing to do I wouldn't be drinking it. I did state "newbie" to all this. Was not constructive in the slightest

Wow. Some scary symptoms there. I am pre-diabetes so hoping I can turn this around with diet. Still not sure if what I'm eating is the best but sure ill soon find out

Aw got you. So we really want to be in between the two really? That's the aim I guess. So symptoms of low and high would be? Just so I know what to look out for

Ah I see, hypos are low sugar? Sorry I really am a newbie

Hi all. This may be obvious and I may be daft for asking this (apologies if that's the case) but I'm new to this as you know. I was about to go out a run so drank a 500ml bottle of Lucozade Sport with 18 gram of sugar and I took my blood literally 10 minutes after guzzling this and blood was...

Hi all, I thank all for you're kind replies on my thread. I have made a lot of changes to my diet and started running again. Yesterday I bought a glucometer and took readings yesterday and today. I hope they're ok. Yesterday: before dinner - 5.9 after - (roughly two hours) 5.9. At 21.44 - 5.8...

Thank you everyone for you're kind messages. So today I bought a glucometer and took my blood sugar before dinner, it was 5.8, took it 2 hours after some healthy veg and chicken, it was 5.9. I then took it before bed and it was 5.2. Ill update tomorrow with how they are in morning and after...

Hi all. I'm a 31 year old male who, just recently, has been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Its a shock as I don't smoke or drink, I'm only 12.4 (stones/pounds ). My blood sugar was 9. I then went and got a HBA1C test and it was 45. I will admit, I eat junk food and I'm a very stressed individual...
