Hi Tony thanks for yr reply. Yes all supermarket stock to much sweet stuff. My blood like a yo yo at the moment it's all new to me. I have been coeliac since 2013 and it was keeping my sugar down. Went diabetic 2018 with a lada. we have lots of Coeliac in our family high genetic. I was on tablets for quite a few years. But struggling at the moment very depressed as it's going to spoil my Christmas celebrations.

Hi Barbara
I hope it didn't spoil your celebrations....
Being coeliac doesn't bother me in the slightest because as a type 1 i'm used to saying no to food.
I have an odd relationship with food as i look at something that contains gluten and if i ate it it would give me bad guts....
I look at something i can eat and i think ..is it worth me eating it and having to take some insulin to deal with it.....

This simple philosophy works for me.

I wish you well

Tony

Hi
I have been diabetic for 50 years so i'm used to it.....
Do you have a Libre?
My control before libre was good but now i have it its even better hba1c 0f 40 and time in range 96%.

Its the libre that has given me the data i need to achieve it.

If i can offer any tips i'm happy to do so but we are all different and what is right for me may not work for you....

I wish you well

Tony
