Aaah I see it could be dairy causing a problem too. Okay no dairy no carbs and no getting frustrated at my liver and its ability to make something out of nothing ....I was tongue in cheek calling liver stupid....its an incredible organ and currently outsmarting me

I usually go for vodka and diet coke but really fancied a gin with lots of ice and lemon guess that will teach me

I am using Glucozen which I got at Tesco.

Last week one of my morning readings was 15.8 and it seems this was down to hidden carbs in food (i ate out and had sea bass and buerre blanc sauce with vegetables which has flour in it) most mornings though I am between lowest 10.3 and highest 16 and am following a low carb diet.....one morning...

Mushroom omelette and salad ......frustrated as this is my normal food and still can't get morning sugar down grrrrr. Dinner last night tuna steak boiked eggs green beans and salad. I dont deserve 11.3 this morning ☹

Yes they are 500mg.....I have enough to do a self adjustment experiment as when I have previously asked about changing/adjusting I have been told ots not the medication its my diet that is the problem. I think the only way of getting any joy with GP is to do the experiment and write up and send...

The strange thing is I don't get rises after eating it just continues to come down throughout the day....exercise puts it up a bit (yesterday rise of 1 after exercise) but the food seems to have little impact in raising the levels its as if my body outs out enough in a morning to last the entire...

11.3 this morning why won't it come down ....stupid liver no carbs and did exercise ate a protein snack at bedtime and it still won't budge

I ate dinner...tuna steak with boiked eggs green beans and salad leaves....that has to be low carb. I am also exercising daily now....just walks but making sure I get 10k steps in. You are right I have been given sone pretty bad advice from GP.....its all been focused on rapid weight loss and...

I am liking your thinking i was told not to eat bacon .....it may have to make an appearance again ....bacon cheese double cream ....it sounds like a heart attack on a plate....but if that's what will kill this diabetes who am I to argue

I feel like I am obsessively measuring BS at the moment after exercise, after meals before meals in the morning through the day .....seems my body is very good at producing glucose from nowhere....went up after exercise when I thought I would use it up ....**** super efficient liver its bound to...

Change of surgery would be a good idea but a bit stuck at the moment as the "good" doctors locally is oversubscribed. They have tried through several routes to push me statins I refuse as my chol is no higher now at 47 than it was at 18 when I was used as high normal at 5.2 when I worked in the...

If cheese will save me that makes me very happy.....I ha e been avoiding cheese due to high fat and it was always my go to snack before I was told I had diabetes and needed to lose weight.....seems I need to unlearn all that advice on bad food

I asked about that at GP with diabetes nurse and was told it only happens to Type 1 not Type 2 ‍♀️ should I be asking if I am Type 1 or is this common for Type 2 ?

Its looking like my morning spikes are the problem because of glycogen release rather than the food I am eating as even after food the level continues to come down .....until the next morning when it all starts again. I am leaning towards a few days fasting to try and deplete the glycogen stored...

Thank you I thought I was being. Good having brown rice and wholewheat pasta apparently not .....I was told to eat wholegrain by diabetes nurse at GP. As this was okay....also told that Dawn phenomenon doesn't happen in type 2 though only Type 1 so guess that's not quite right either .....by...

My blood sugar last night 2 hours after eating was 8.8.....this morning 12.3 it really doesn't make any sense....its as if my body just goes "right you are awake now have a big pile of glucose you haul your butt out of bed" I exercised both Saturday and Sunday too. Dinner last night was beef...

Thank you will try this...am also on ramipril for high BP and take daily supplements for nutrients and iron. (Abc plus from H and B)

I saw a gynaecologist who said I likely had mild PCOS which is contributing (saw gynae for another reason) again GP did not agree with her findings as "you would be anaemic if it were that bad" I wasn't because I take supplements every day so stopped and became anaemic....which again was blamed...
