We had curry Home made although I don’t think it was that fatty

Yes that is a good point thank you

Thanks for all your responses . It adds a sense of reality when the balance of Carbs and Insulin.doesn’t match the text book. Any other comments are still welcome

Thanks forresponding interesting that your problem is with potatoes.What we don’t get is it drops so quickly after the meal and it’s with basmati rice not brown rice. We understand it is white rice causes highs not lows . Weird

That’s interesting I wonder why. Thanks for your reply

Hi thanks for responding. We weighed the 100grms of uncooked rice and then calculated the amount of carbs in that to enter into Libra and apologies I should have said humalog not Lantus.

Thanks for responding No we counted for 100grms uncooked rice.

My husband is a type 1diabetic of 40 years .He monitors his blood glucose using the Libra freestyle monitor We have recently noticed that after eating a meal containing Rice , within 2-3hr his glucose level falls sharrply . For example tonight after eating 100grm of rice and with a pre meal...

I am someone with slightly raised fasting BG 6.1 which rises a little more after exercise to 6.4 I am concerned I may be heading towards pre diabetes All my other readings however are fine for eg 2hrs after a meal 5.7 before a meal 4.3. I am happy to really restrict carbs but surely this...

Thanks Uart A further update..... a pre lunch test still with no food was down to 6.5 .Then 2hrs after a light salad lunch and a 45 min walk it was 5.1 I have been reading something about fasting glycemia which relates to higher than normal bloods after fasting. I was wondering if this is my...

Sorry I should have said My pre diabetes scare proved unfounded but I am due an over 60s MOT at my doctors in 2 weeks so thought I would do a bit of monitoring using my husbands test kit

Have had a bi of a scare re pre diabetes after a series of infections.I do use my husband 's blood testing kit to check my sugars . The other day I tested 2 hrs after a breakfast of fruit and fibre and almond milk and coffee The level was 5.5. Yesterday after an hour so of gardening , very...

Thanks Deejay and Catlady It gets slightly more puzzling...because after 14 hrs of fasting and going up from 6.1 to 6.4 on the blood monitor I then had a boiled egg and a piece of buttered wholemeal toast . Two hrs later my glucose reading was down to 5.6. !!! So I'm higher when fasting...

Hi I'm not sure if I'm on the right page I am not diabetic but after a slightly raised blood glucose level due to an infection 2 years ago, I decided to do a fasting blood test using my husbands test monitor. { he is diabetic} After not eating anything and only having water to drink for 12...

My husband has been a type 1 diabetic for over 30 years and recently had surgery for a cataract in his right eye . Unfortunately there were problems and part of his lens and cataract broke off and ended up in the vitreous humor at the back of the eye. This resulted in an emergency vitrectomy to...

Janeecee may be the fact that your insulin is able to bring you back to normal levels is the most important thing to hang on to. Hope it doesn't sound patronising .. but stay positive and thanks again Wendy x

Just had the results of my fasting and HBa1c test and they are all fine so no further action required. Hba1c was 41 which considering my 6weeks of infection and some BG readings in the low 7's and hgh 6's at the time is fine. I can only come down further now I am better Thankyou to everyone...

Hi Janeecee Not sure if you are still checking into this post but I was wondering how you are and what the latest outcome of your blood test was . I have been doing a range of testing prior to my recall for a fasting glucose test and an 'HB whatsit' test which took place last Thurdsday. My...

You seem to be my mentor on this discussion janeecee so just to let you know 2hrs after my spag bol and 2 small glasses of wine I had a reading of 5.1 That was a lot lower than I was expecting but I have been quite busy today and I know alcohol lowers blood sugar -so I'm not complaining

Thank you Janecee that really makes sense. I did a test after lunch today [which consisted of a sandwich made with 2 large slices of whole meal bread] . I tested after 2 hours and joy of joys I was 5.3 .... but I will keep testing and will continue to sensibly cut down on Carbs because I...
