More testing the last few days, had a chinese the other night, some friends came round and I decided to have a little treat expecting it to be bad, chicken fried rice, some chips and some chicken balls with curry sauce, my level was 6.8 after a few hours and was 4,8 pre meal, yesterday I tried...

When I had my initial tests done in June/July my doc said my liver test came back as borderline, he said its still within normal levels but quite common as we approach middle age and carry extra weight around that area, but with weight loss etc should be fine. I've been excersising every day...

After tonights bbq marinated chicken kebabs on 2 wholemeal pittas my reading was 6.8, pretty good, pre dinner was 4.8. Overall I'm getting the hang of whats been ok so far, to be honest I'm not looking to cut it all down to extreme levels as I'd never cope, but my levels are pretty good at the...

I will certainly keep things up, the way I look at it is that I have to, simple really as it's my own health at stake. Had a bad reading yesterday, a couple actually, instead of the usual shredded wheat for breakfast which doesn't raise my levels much I had a bowl of granola almond and fruity...

So been doing more testing, i'm finding that potatoes or chips are not giving me any spikes in my readings like I thought they would, 2 hours after a roast dinner yesterday with spuds and gravy etc and I was still in the mid 5's area as per before dinner, similar thing happened on Sat afternoon...

I thought shredded wheat would have been ok, what is a good breakfast cereal? I do like oaty stuff or special k.

Ok so had pizza for dinner last night, knew its not the best thing in the world to have, after dinner reading was 8.6, this morning was again similar to yesterday 6.8. I am still fairly pleased though as I'm not on meds for it but will definitely be looking at the bread issue closely now and...

Ok my reading 2 hours after lunch was 5.4, not sure if its that low due to doing a 20 min cardio session an hour before testing though. I'm pleasantly surprised at my readings so far though, as for bread I tend to only have Kingsmill wholemeal but if its not really much better than white bread...

Just did a test prior to lunch, 4.9 which is good, had some chilli chicken sandwich from Greggs and an oaty flapjack, should be interesting to see how this goes as its on white bread which i've cut out now so this is a bit different for me.

Couple of hours after breakfast and it was 7.6, had a couple of shredded wheat with semi skimmed milk and a glass of apple juice for breakfast, although today is not a normal day for me as I'm off work so have spent the morning sat on the sofa where as usually I'd be a bit more active while at...

So this mornings reading after a good 12 hr fast is 6.9, breakfast now and will test again later this morning.

Thanks for the replies, the first reading of 4.8 was about an hour before my meal, not sure if that would be considered as a pre meal reading but I didn't eat anything until I had the meal. I'll be playing around with the meter and testing various foods to see what I generally have to avoid. I...

Having been diagnosed with T2 a few months back I've been working hard to control it, the nurse has taken my Hba1 result of 7.5 as a baseline as it must have taken into account a good portion of my lifestyle prior to diagnosis, I've been doing daily cardio and changed a lot of my diet, not...

Hi all, looks like i'm a type 2 diabetic, never knew about it and only discovered by chance, we were on a holiday in the 3rd week of June, I fell ill with a horrible gastro bug and ended up visiting the local hospital, they did a BS which was 11.98 and said I could well be diabetic, I did...
