Hi, I used to post under the name Ellen but have had to rejoin. I just wanted to share some good news with you. I went for the results of my blood test yesterday and my blood sugar has dropped by .7! This has never happened before, it is usually the same or up from the previous test. I was delighted. I haven't changed my diet or exercise except I have started eating red grapes at lunchtime. I have 14. I checked with the diet nurse when I was taking Reductil and she said grapes are ok (I had to stop Reductil unfortunately). I read somewhere that there is a chemical (natural) in the skin of red grapes which helps to control blood sugar levels. I eat the grapes just because I like them but I can only assume that they may be responsible for the lowering of my blood sugar. Just thought I would share this, although I think Type 1's have to be careful eating fruit it may be of some use to Type 2's.
