    One to avoid

    I’m LADA / Type 1.5. So have insulin, but I want to try avoiding carbs rather than negate them with insulin (purely a personal choice). I’ve had oats a couple of times and they massively spiked me, I also find myself super ‘sensitive’ in the mornings, so things like berry’s can have little...

    One to avoid

    For me it was about something that was quick and easy that I could eat for breakfast when I’m working as I stay in a hotel (currently they don’t do breakfast due to Covid) and the office which only have a microwave

    One to avoid

    I’ve been trying to find quick easy breakfast ideas of late, and really have been missing porridge (oats do not agree with my blood sugars). Imagine my delight when I found Full Green set instant microwaveable ‘porridge’ that is only 15g of carbs with no added sugar, made from cauliflower rice...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.0 this morning which is: 1) handy as I need to drive to work shortly 2) an absolute bloody Christmas miracle considering I decided yesterday that as I was in the office working I would just eat what I wanted, and I did, to excess

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    8.5 this morning which is somewhat disappointing as they have been really good, and I can’t put the reason down to anything as I had a good day yesterday. Beginning to believe what I’ve been told that managing blood sugars is more luck and magic than science

    Morning all 6.2 for me this morning, better than I expected as I had a jam doughnut last night to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah (By “a” doughnut that may also have been “a pack of doughnuts” #MissingCarbsAndSugar)

    Feeling sad, scared and alone

    Hi @ShropshireDimples Try and hang in there, I can totally relate, in the first week of September I had a blood test for something entirely unrelated, and was told to go immediately to hospital and expect to stay for a week. It turned out I am diabetic, but also had a dangerously high...
