Hi I’m julieclarke I’ve joined to find out more about T2 diabetes

[Pipp]

How do you know when you need to?

When first diagnosed I needed to check daily.
As soon as I woke up.
Before each meal
Two hours after each meal.

Would write the numbers down and also what I had eaten.

Now my T2 is managed and I know which foods will cause high blood glucose, I don’t need to test that often. So mainly if I am eating something different to usual, or I do’t feel well.

I had lasagna and vegetables

When I make lasagna - I make it low carb by layering with cheese squares rather than pasta sheets x

I had apple crumble for pudding

Was that for Christmas lunch? I had homemade low carb lemon curd cheese cake. I love Christmas pudding but too many carbs for me and makes my blood sugar rocket so I can’t eat it any more

 

[julieclarke]

It was a pudding

A little bit high - maybe now Christmas and all the treats are over you can get your numbers back down a bit

I will try to bring it down with my sugar levels

Why dont you post in" What was your fasting blood glucose,with some chat"then perhaps some people might try to offer advice if they are high.
