[QUOTE="charon, post: 382413, member: 70242"] Oh frabjous day! Managed to get down to 7.9. Still a bit high but not so bad. Meal 24 hours ago, Two weetabix 11 hours ago. Nothing else apart from water. Reading before the weetabix was 14.3 now is 7.9. Have been out most of the day including a fair bit of walking. I don't know why it was so high earlier today but I suspect it was because I was mostly sleeping after the meal. If that's the case then exercise is very important for me. I'll have to see what I'm capable of doing tomorrow. Anyway it means that the BG level does come down so I have something to work with - I'm going to get lots more test strips so I can see whats happening and am going to visit the doctor tomorrow to discuss it.. I wasn't feeling very well most of the day but began to perk up in the last couple of hours - that couldn't be due to the glucose level could it? Anyway means that it looks like I have the possibility of controlling this even if it means not eating. In response to the kind suggestions. I don't eat white bread by choice - I don't at all now. Diet was very up and down depending on how much time I had - ready meals, garage sandwiches, chocolate.... I have stopped working to get this under control (couldn't really justify getting paid with what I was capable of doing) What I have been eating since being diagnosed Hovis wholemeal bread sandwich with tinned salmon, onions and cucumber. Hovis wholemeal bread toasted with baked beans Spread is flora buttery Weetabix with semi skimmed milk. Roast beef + steamed onions, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, gravy (was with a few potatoes but am stopping that) I tend to have a similar meal a couple of days a week with beef/lamb/turkey. Portions I don't believe are large - certainly a lot less than a week ago. I'm capable of being pretty draconian about my food intake as long as I know what to do. Is the semi skimmed milk ok or should I go for skimmed - if I have to cut milk out altogether it will mean finding something else for breakfast. [/QUOTE]
