6.4 (116mg/dl), my readings on workdays are taken at 6am, on most weekends too.

6.5 (118mg/dl) It may have been creeping up this week but this new regime is definitely cutting those other pesky numbers - weight, BP and BMI 16st 10lb 4oz, (-26lb), 116/73 (Lowest since moving to US!), 33.5 (now just obese not morbidly obese!). If I can eventually hit 13st 8lb I'll...

I don't disagree, although I was led to believe that it may also be influenced more greatly by recent activity, admittedly my example was not the best to highlight that! From what I understand, besides lowering carbs the goal is to eliminate simple carbs and aim to consume only complex carbs...

While I wouldn't deny my pre-diabetic status I'm still a little skeptical about my recent type 2 status as the qualifying bloods were pulled while I was suffering a head to toe eczema attack - since when I have learned that BG levels increase when the body is under duress. Might seem like...

Hiya, I am trying to avoid both gluten and dairy in my diet (says he, having just consumed a small amount of mature cheddar to flavour up his lunch!). Cheddar and lactose free milk in my morning porridge are the exception. I'm not officially gluten or dairy intolerant but my system does better...

I'm still getting my head round the carb intake aspect and with zero guidance from the quack I'm having to feel my way in the dark. Processed sugars are easy to weed out with home cooking (the soy sauce was a one off already in the dish when I got caught out at a local restaurant yesterday)...

I do a weekly batch of porridge in the slow cooker that uses steel cut oats, water, chia seeds and milled flax, Divvied up (using scales because I somewhat anal), I keep two single serve containers in the fridge and the rest goes in the freezer. Take one out of the freezer when one is removed...

I have seen a couple of places where this topic crops up, most recently for me it was last week in the NY Times. My curiosity was piqued, I don't go out of my way to eat a specific number of plant based items a week but I do believe that variety is the spice of life. It does my head in that for...

Hiya, 6.6 this morning.

Hiya, newbie to the site and possibly the condition. If you think your diagnosis was lacking them you'll understand my situation. 57 year old Englishman who has lived as a resident and citizen in the US for over a decade and suffered from their dietary norms - not necessarily the worst ones...
