Hi everybody.
had 4 pieces of green and black last night, Watched yes man, that had some funny bits in it!
Oh wow i must admit the green and blacks first piece was very creamy and had to get used to the taste! I ate 4 pieces, That was a treat, I did enjoy the 4 bit's that i had!
My blood sugar went up to 16.2 last night, but worth it! Woke up this morning, like every morning my blood sugar was 7.3,
I have cut out nearly all carbs! And my blood sugar is not going down! I decided last night, to have 2 slices of bacon, egg, 2 sausages, onion, mushrooms, Red pepper, that was for my evening meal last night, 2 hours later my blood sugar had gone from
7.8 to 11.2.
Back down 4 hours post meal to 8.6.

Hi Sandy,
Glad you enjoyed your choc, I'm not happy with your BG numbers though, you could do to have a word with your DSN.

Regards Graham
 
Hi graham,
I am seeing her on the 5th of may when she gets back off holiday! she offered to put me on metaformin, I said let me try and bring my blood sugars down myself first!
But they are not coming down theirselfs at all! I am not eating any carbs, i cook all my own food so i know what is going into it! I am watching what i eat!
I just don't understand where i have wrong here! As i have taken advice and dropped as many carbs as i can!
I don't have any type of sauce, don't drink tea coffee or fizzy drinks, don't drink milk as alergic to it!
I don't eat bread or pasta or rice, i have cut back on fruit! I eat veg at meal times, don't have chocolate, don't eat crisps or biscuits.
breakfast is a egg and maybe a bit of bacon!

Hi again Sandy,
Have the BG readings been that high for a while, or is it just recently I'm just wondering if your starting with a virus or something. I had a similar situation recently caused by a viral infection.

Regards Graham
 
Hi graham,
They have been like this from the start, I got diagnoised 4 or 5 weeks ago and they have been like this from the start!
before i even got diagnoised i was low carbing!
I am okay in myself! Must admit i am starting to get worried now!
I am worried as unless i am burning hot and doing lots of stuff does my blood sugar drop!
I could understand sort of if i was not low carbing etc!
i dont drink alchol! I am getting worried as my blood sugars just don't want to drop!
 
Hi Sue,
I am worried about going on metaformin, As i worry about stomach issues, as my mum has been put on metaformin as she no longer needs insulin!
The metaformin really plays her stomach up! I have a sensitive stomach at the best of times!
I am also worried about side effects that could happen!
Sandy
 
Sandy ,ask about the slow release metformin,explain about your stomach.If you need the medications they will help you.You can't keep going on such high levels for too long.
 
Hi Sue,
I am just scared of medication! Always have been scared of pills! I suppose it all comes from because my sister took a overdose! I was the one who found her!
Pills have always scared me!
Sandy
 
I can understand that Sandy but you will be given clear instructions about them.You need these meds Sandy otherwise you are going to be very ill.I do not like taking medication either but ,when the time comes I will as I want to live as long as possible.Explain your concerns to the doctor and get him to go over side effects.There is also usually a leaflet with the medicines that you can read and also you can always ask us!
 
Hi Sandy,
Sues right about medication, you should voice your concerns to your DSN. You have obviously had bad experience with your Sister, but you must think about your health. Let us know how you go on with your DSN.

Take Care
Graham
 
Hi Sue and Graham,
I will talk to the nurse but don't see her until the 5th of may! But i am thinking as you said i have to put myself first. I should know that i am me and i should not be scared!
I want to live for years to come,as have a wonderful fiancee!
Sandy
 
No sue, But we intend to get a dog or two, they will become my baby's! I am 33 and aparently through tests doc's say that there is not alot of me getting preggies! I have all that i need in my fiancee he is very supportive!
He is affraid of the diabeties and complications etc! He is so calm and laidback!
We will get a dog or two!
