Thank you lovinglife, thanks for clarifying, I thought I’d blown it on that meal but the numbers almost matched after the two hour period so I guess this is good for me. I will take on board though to be careful with the carrot and apple portions.

Hi all, I’m using a BGM to test different foods and quantities on myself. I fasted from 7pm yesterday until 12.00 today and then had a Raw Slaw made with red cabbage, 1/2 carrot, 1/2 fennel bulb, celery, apple and walnut, with Greek yoghurt and lemon dressing and a portion of Smoked Salmon...

Hi Jaycee, Thank you for your thoughts. I previously wore this libre link 2 when I was first diagnosed 4 months ago and there were drops which I thought may be due to compression, I sleep on my side But sometimes there were drops during the day too particularly after cycling. This time I’ve...

I don’t have the finger prick back up because I’m only just pre diabetic 42 and testing foods on myself. Interestingly it’s dipped again to 3.4 then come up to 3.6 so I think it’s probably calibrating. if I hadn’t put the thing on I’d be no wiser so unless I feel unwell I’ll just monitor it for...

No idea what that was about, it’s now back to 4.8…maybe a glitch?

Good evening, New to this. I ate my evening meal at 7pm and my BGM had a reading of 5.1 I ate a Salmon fillet, 6 grilled cherry tomatoes in olive oil, a portion of courgettes, broccoli, sugarsnaps and green beans. 90 minutes later my blood glucose monitor is showing a red alert, my glucose is...

Thank you for that Chris. I am eating a lot of Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated fats…fish oils, extra virgin OO and nuts. I’ve only recently found out that my favourite pistachio and cashews are not the nuts I should have been eating so switched to Macadamia and Pecans, that is what the Dr...

Wow, I hear you! You have put an amazing amount of effort into improving your situation so kudos for that. I was wondering if this turns into full diabetes what type would it be as it doesn’t fit a t2 profile but then I’m not yet familiar with different types. It seems there are a lot of...

Can anyone tell me if you have used an Abbot libre link 2 on your abdomen? I know it’s not licensed for anywhere except your arm but I find my arms are too lean and muscular and the pin pricks the muscle and that freaks me out. I don’t sleep well knowing if I lie on it, I’m going to feel a...

Thank you, you’re so right, I can see this is going to be a marathon ‍♀️

Thanks Jo for these tips, I already do 2 and 3. what concerns me about 1 is getting my body weight that low means my hip bones jut out and that’s a scary thought when riding a bike on winter roads, if you touch black ice, you hit the deck. I would normally gain a couple of pounds to pad those...

Jo thank you for your comments and helpful tips. To clarify, I eat a protein breakfast of scrambled eggs and spinach or tomatoes or cottage cheese and pecans and macadamia nuts etc then I cycle for 3hrs before I have lunch which is protein and salad or green leafy vegetables. No fuel in my...

Thank you Melgar for your reply. I’m sorry to hear you were not able to reduce your bg. I fear I may not be able to either, my GP said as much “try again, give it another 3 months and we’ll retest, but you have to understand this may be out of your control” My sister went on a Desmond...
