I have an appointment with the diabetic nurse on Friday and was told she would refer me to a dietician if she thought it would help. i'm going to tell her I need help, combining the 2 dietry needs is not easy and I can't afford my glucose levels to stay as high as they have been.
I must admit I hadn't thought about the absorption and time taken to digest food, it must make a difference, thanks for the remiinder! I will tell the nurse on Friday that I need help from someone who understands that side of things as well as diabetes.

Ask for a referral to an endocrinologist as well as the dietician, the specialist might have a better idea on what's going on.
Let us know how you get on.
 
Before dinner 9.5.
Two hours after dinner of scallops and stir fry, half a portion of egg noodles 11. 3.
Bedtime 9.8.
Snack of cheese, will take reading when I wake during night, need to find out what's going on in the night.

I don't count any carbs for eggs, and the book Carbs & Cals shows no carbs for boiled, fried, poached, or omelettes.

Toally agree.. However something in eggs makes my levels raise... So have worked out for me that an egg is 4g equivalent.

Of course, this is me when bolusing for food and just what works for me....

4.35am 10,7

And 10am this morning it was 15.1 and I'd had no carbs since dinner last night, around 7.30pm, just the cheese..
