Yes the meter is our guide, though the Nhs say it's not needed for type 2, (shows how little they really know & are back in the dark ages.) Same with diet, follow the Eat well plate & as many have found within around 5yrs you could be worse & on insulin etc. Follow a low carb diet & your not putting the old pancreas under pressure so it's more likely to keep going longer b4 insulin etc is need.Thanx everyone for your help. I think I will 'eat to my meter'. I didn't realise, that my meter was so important. I kinda thought that it ok a few days for anything to show up on it. I know it's all a learning curve, and I've a lot to learn!

Hahaha fab! I thought it was only me that saw things like thatI'm catching the hub's dyslexia
Thought that said 'Crabs' What's the story.
It's me too - I used to sometimes "mis-see" well before I got diabetes, but now my eyes can be much more inventive - and it makes for interesting and sometimes hilarious reading.Hahaha fab! I thought it was only me that saw things like that
Hi brophy and robin redbreast
There are so many devious pud, cake and savoury low carb recipes out there that I often wonder why tea rooms/ coffee shops ( not that I frequent them that often) don't offer low carb choices? Imagine a nice deep yummy cheesecake with the nutritional values displayed beside it. Or low carb Eton mess, muffins, quiche, sausage and egg 'muffins' I could go on but I am starting to drool.
Sugar not fat is becoming the enemy and I'm only on 10% commission!
Hahaha! All right, I'll work on it, then we can have a party in the tearoom xWouldn't it be wonderful to find a tearoom that specialised in low-carb goodies? I'd travel miles for a place like that

However, your pancreas could be pumping out massive amounts of insulin to get those blood glucose levels.Yesterday 4.3 before dinner. Chicken thighs with stuffing and a big baked potato with cheese and beans and 5.8 2 hours later! However I do think I'm the exxeption not the rule!
