[QUOTE="NewTD2, post: 1745737, member: 439634"] I used to test 6-8x a day but now I only test before breakfast because I eat the same, regular food every week. However if there's something new on the menu, I would definitely recommend testing before and 2 hours later. The NHS Diabetes Education Course that I attended was a complete disaster. We were advised by the Dietitian to "eat anything" but in small portions which literally means we can really have a bit of cake, ice cream, potatoes, sugary fizzy drinks, chocolates, doughnuts but as long as they are in small portions, all should be fine. Please DO NOT follow the NHS Guidelines because they are appalling, outdated, totally irresponsible and some NHS Dietitians haven't got a clue and may have not been trained well enough about our condition. So I went against the NHS Guidelines and immediately switched to low-carbing instead. And these are my HBA1c results: Sept 2017 (85 nearly died at the A&E) Dec 2017 (46 pre-diabetic) Jan 2018 (38 normal) I can feel my HBA1c has dropped even further because I feel absolutely great! Next blood test will be end of this month, April 2018, will keep you all posted... [/QUOTE]
