Sounds and looks yummy!

Great, thank you @KennyA. Luckily most, if not all of my BG tests are within 2mmol post meal since being on this pathway on looking after myself. On one occasion it was below the ‘pre‘ meal which was bizarre!

Incredible amount of interesting and helpful information thanks guys. It’s a lot to take in for a new-be[emoji846] May I ask another question please? I understand the reason for pre and post meal blood glucose testing. If, for example, my blood glucose is 4.5mmol/l pre meal, should I be...

Well done @nabilla, you should be very proud indeed. Great to read such an inspirational story. Take care.

Wonderful, thank you very much. I’ve been told by my GP that I have prediabetes. My eating habits have improved since, and I’ve lost weight. I’ve noticed that my blood sugar 2 hours after eating has remained between 5-7 mmol/l on all occasions except for one where it was 9.1 after eating a meal...

Brilliant. Well done ! All the best.

Hi, I have been on the ‘Oviva Healthier You’ programme for the past few months, which was sent to me via my GP practice and I have to say I have found it very informative indeed. I know it does refer to the Eatwell Programme, and I did question this, but overall the programme has benefitted me...

Oh wow, haven’t heard of this. Can imagine this/these conditions must present many challenges for you, and those with the above conditions. Thank you for explaining it. Take care.

Thank you for this explanation. May I ask what ‘RH’ means? You mention it half way down?

Hi, I thought I’d replied to your reply but I can’t find where it is?! Thank you very much for this information, most helpful and very much appreciated. Take care.

Thank you for that explanation, all making sense. Take care. [emoji16]

The graph you included was also interesting to see. I worry about what my blood glucose is doing on an hourly/daily basis between blood glucose testing results, but trying my best to keep calm about it. Interestingly the graph you posted shows the blood glucose raising to 9!!?

Thank you for your information and link, of which the latter was a fascinating read! I had to read it a few times and look up a few terms to understand it. I did get the ‘gist’ of it in the end. This was what my original question was really so thanks for that too. Kind regards.

Hi, thank you so much for this explanation, it certainly makes the science a lot clearer. I do have a BG tester now and I’m finding out what is making my BG spike. It seems to be the obvious-pasta, bread, rice etc. I’m reducing/ eliminating much of this so I know that’s helping. Thanks for...

That’s really interesting and something that has worried me, hence, I posted a new topic to ask ‘how high non-diabetic blood sugars rise after a meal’, and during, for that matter. Your information now helps me to understand that, but I’d still be interested to know the answer to my recent...

Hi, Just interested to understand the process of metabolising glucose please :-)

Hi there. I suffer from dry eyes but mainly at night. Waking and feeling like daggers are in my eyes isn’t very pleasant, and your symptoms sound distressing too. My GP has prescribed an ointment called Hylonight which I apply just before bedtime and it works a treat for me all through the night...

Good plan!! Thank you

That’s very interesting indeed. I don’t have a CGM and I don’t think I warrant one, and hopefully won’t as I hope to reduce my HbA1c of 42 by diet. Cheers.

Thank you @lovinglife, that’s very helpful indeed. There was I chomping on carrots!! I only have nibble now and then! Cheers.
