Blood Sugar in High 20's and GP not helping, please advise


Change your Doctor .
 
Hi Scottie, Do you like marmite? . I leerrvvvv it and put some on the bread underneath the cheese for an extra kick. Just a thought if you're looking for something to add a bit of extra interest.
 
That's exactly what happened to me in the middle of January, a real scare that finally motivated me to sort myself out

Sorry to hear you have been unwell and had a scare Rowan. I wish it hadn't taken this to make me see sense but I suppose things happen for a reason and we can only go onwards and upwards.

Never had it Janie, but am open to trying new things now. Thank you.

On the bread? Does it not spike you?

Did GP / DSN ever get back to you with test results?
 
Peanut butter on ryvita. I actually buy the lidl version as they are only 4g per biscuit (and a lot cheaper) and then have my peanut butter about a centimetre thick. It is just yummy.

Shepherds Pie - was you around my house as that is what I had. Unfortunately mash potato is probably the worst form of potatoes you could eat as the act of mashing breaks the long chains and makes it digest and enter the blood stream very fast. I would say that is what you found. Not to worry we all live and learn and the stairs will help
 


Oh sugar, forgot the stairs. So sorry, will do them tomorrow - twice.
 

I'm going to try mashed celeriac on a shepherds pie, it's good mashed

Dont do too much or it can raise your Blood Glucose Levels. There is no time like the present BTW - I often used to do them "on my way to bed" so that I would be nice a warm

No worries for me with mash as my shepherds pie and nuts and raisins for desert raised me to a heady 6.2
 
No, they didn't and when I called for blood test results I was told I needed to see a GP. My urine tests were fine though.

Perhaps if you get any trouble getting an appointment you could ask for a GP to phone you?

Our GP's are doing skyping appts now and call backs in evenings from their homes to try and help patients. Do your practice do the same?

If you can't get an appt do consider asking for a GP to phone you...
 
Greem & Black chocolate must be an aquired taste :***:
lol. Now my tastes have changed a lot since diagnosis. I never liked strong flavours, coffee, dark choc, etc and now I like them all but can't stomach really sweet things now.
 


No, my surgery doesn't offer those kind of appointments and getting one to call you is near an impossibility. To get an appointment, you first have to go through the dragons on reception who, it seems, know as much as the doctor about whats wrong with you. Hence why I never call myself and get my husband to do it.
