[QUOTE="Gary.Blanche, post: 2119720, member: 512520"] Thanks Jo this was my argument with him. I accept what you say about the porridge. I did put an earlier post that I had tested for a few weeks for the Dr and after most things I eat after 2 hours I start hitting 9.5 then up to 5 hrs it’s reaching up to 14 and it seems to follow this pattern each meal then anything above 11 I start falling asleep totally out of control. If I’m stood up I just go doesn’t matter what I’m doing no control. I have had single instances of this before but a few weeks before calling the Dr it was sometimes happening twice a day. Then I get a letter back from my eye exam stating I’m starting to show damage to the blood vessels. As the sleep episodes happened I started checking my glucose levels which made me go to see the Dr. I was met with being told off for testing to him saying high sugar doesn’t do that, a rather harsh belittling which I didn’t appreciate. I came on here after checking my facts on the website to basically prove to myself I was right before I went back for the follow up visit. I didn’t want to get too specific into each meal as I realise if I was right my diet that had worked to date was now not working and I would need to make changes it can get so in depth about diet and I would find out what would work for me by testing at home.
