Gezzathorpe, that's what I am thinking. I just need to pluck up the courage to try it now. Out of interest, when people talk about things like 30g of Spaghetti/rice has so many carbs, are they talking cooked weight or dry weight ? 30g of cooked rice is probably about a dessert spoon full !

Some people are affected differently than others. I think that having the rice for example could have it's bG effect reduced by the protein in the curry making the release into the blood take longer. My doctor told me that I can eat anything but in moderation. I really didn't believe her after I...

Any chance of posting up your recipes for all of these. I am doing low carb with (now) one Metformin per day. Hope to be off the Metformin at my next HbA1c though. Would love some good recipes for Curries and Casseroles ! My wife does make a good Stir Fry already, so I am just missing out on the...

Just got the results back for my first HbA1c since I was diagnosed. My Glucose figures at diagnosis (exactly three months ago) were 215 mg/dl I think I saw written down. The test I had for work previously was 188 mg/dl. Anyway, just back from the doctors and have these now.... HbA1c 5.9% HbA1CM...

I started on 1 x 850Mg each day at 7pm (after my meal as prescribed by my Doctor). Now I am on two per day. Luckily the side effects so far are minimal, usually only a problem if I have had mainly liquid breakfasts like yoghurt. Bloating has stopped now and my BS readings are encouraging with...

Up until last week when I was told I was Type 2, for the last 4 years I only ever drank Pepsi Light and Cola Zero (as opposed to the normal variants). My Doctor specifically told me that these drinks are really not a good idea and could have contributed to my becoming diabetic. My Sons...

More good advice, thankyou, and yes, Dunkels King is a reference to my beloved Kaltenberg König Ludwig Dunkle Beer, although I don't think I will be drinking any of that in the near future :(

Thanks again for all the positive comments and help. I normally test two hours after I start my meal but I had to go to a long meeting so did it early. Two hours after my meal last night I was at 137, at 04:25 this morning when I was going to work it was down to 93. Before my breakfast at 07:00...

Thanks for the good info and comments. The yoghurt I had is only about 8g of Carbohydrate per 100g. I have now bought some Greek Yoghurt which is half that although higher in fat. My blood sugar was down at 99 just before lunch. I had a salad with radish and cheese, no dressing. After two hours...

Hi Everyone, I am new to this so please go softly :) I was diagnosed Type 2 a week ago. My Doctor here in Germany has put me on Metformin 750mg once a day to be taken at 7pm after my meal. This is to see how it goes and be re-evaluated over the next weeks. I was given a machine to test my blood...
