Good morning this Friday coming the 13th January I have the first of my 2 hour NHS X-PERT course,from 10am until 12am,.was originally told that because there were so many people with Diabetes there was a very very long waiting list,but I think that so many people cancel cos they can't be bothered that they rang me and said they had a cancelation and would I like to go,I jumped at the chance as I feel that I should have as much information as possible,who knows I might even change their mind about Low Carbs ,if I don't find it benefical I can always tell them in person when I attend and I shall make room for somebody else:)
 
10.45am/Good morning I have tested again 2 hours after one poached egg on slice of one wholemeal bread it reads 6.
 
Good afternoon all my friends to day as I gain just a little bit of confidence thanks to all of you on here,I would like to thank you all,when I was diagnosed 13 weeks ago I was in a right old state,my anxiety was running wild you name it ,I had it,but you all calmed me down,I know its a long way to go but with you all helping me I will be OK:)

Good morning just eaten my porridge and a few raspberries at 8.15am,shall test at an hour and 2 hours time frame:)
 
Actually, those numbers look rather in the normal, 'non-diabetic' range, no? Maybe some of the more experienced posters know more about it.
In any event, keep doing what you're doing for now, and see what happens when you see the doctor. It all looks very encouraging so far.
 
Your numbers are in the normal range now. Much better than mine so I don't think I can give any advice. Just hope your test results are equally good when you get them.
 
Good morning @Hiitsme my friend yes I am not going to expect to much when I have to see the Dnurse on Friday for this Xpert course thingy,she says she will have the results of my first 3 month assestment Blood test.:)

I do enjoy my bread though about 4 slices a day of Tescos high protien seed 10 carbs a slice;)

Hi @wiseowl_123 - This is only a suggestion as not everyone does it. But, if you had a notebook or pad you could list down each meal in detail to create a Food Diary and also put your before and after meal Blood Glucose test results with this meal. Over time you will see what foods you can eat and those that need to be avoided. :)
 
Good evening @Liam1955 thank you my friend I have just started to do that it should be easy as I eat mostly fish and cauliflower and broccolli tomatos,with Salmon,Yellow Haddock,sardines,Tuna
,Hecks Mediteranian sauages one day:angelic:

Breakfast on altenative days /Porride,with ,raspberries,blueberries,tomatoes poached eggs:)

ps and not to forget Apple cider vinegar on my small portion of mash,and a spoonful in a glass of water at meal times
