Just glad to read that you're feeling better and I hope more inspired to get back on track. You can do it!eek!
I feel a tiny wheemsy better today in spite of the skyhigh reading, but I just cannot think about giving up sausages and bread or taters or rice
As for the high fat diet I'm kinda afraid of the high potential cholesterol?

I really wouldn't worry about the cholesterol in sausages and fat etc if I were you:eek!

It might just mean ditching low fat substitutes, a few extra nuts and. A bit of butter. It’s doesnt have to mean eating blocks of lard!As for the high fat diet I'm kinda afraid of the high potential cholesterol?
I used to like going to swim. I'm building up the courage to go again but looking like the hindenburg puts me offHi @Aethalides, like MeiChanski, I’m T1 but know that a bs of 26 will leave you feeling totally pants, and make life not worth living!
There are low carb sausages available, like others have said, and lots of things that’ll fill you up without raising your bs. Why not tell yourself that you’ll give it a go for a couple of days and see if it makes a difference? You might need to have a store of ready cooked and already bought stuff in the fridge so that it doesn’t seem like too much of a chore: cold sausages, hard boiled eggs, cheese, lettuce leaves to roll up tuna, mayo and onion wraps instead of the carb ones, bacon or steak or to cook with the mushrooms and egg for supper, celery to dip in cottage cheese etc etc. Just try it and see what happens.
It’s tough working from home if you don’t have social interaction so evening or daytime swimming/running/martial arts group, or evening classes on something totally not IT?
I’ll be really interested to know how you get on.
Right now, though,hugs.

I signed up for free veg. Thursday I'll get the first bag which I find I'm actually looking forward to
Yes I know. I can do this that and the other but the thing is starting.
You guys have been very friendly and helpful, I just wish there was someone here too, to drag me out of bed and take me outside etc
Thanks fairy godmother. No I don't have total recall but I love both the original and remake of that movie.I’ve just googled your chosen Monika - do you have total recall? Very useful for carb contents, unlike the rest of us who have to use apps and packets.
Ok I'm making up my mind. Tomorrow I'll take my MedsNo, and I’m going to be harsh here, the only one who can do that is you. Those levels are damaging your body now and you know what you have to do to change them and that choice is your responsibility.
You can have a whole community on your side but nobody is responsible for your decisions and actions, only you.
I believe in your power to turn this thing around.

I got doc appointment but it isn't until 1 May. Aparently it's busy this time of year.I’ve just seen the pic of the reading you took and that is serious. My other bit of advice is to call your out of hours service and ask if you need to be seen today, that high level
Yes!
Now onto that reading you posted earlier, that is serious **** and needs to come down. Glic alone won’t do it, you MUST drop those carbs and PLEASE see a doctor. High levels like that can make you very ill, very quickly.
Get rid of the jacket potatoes, and the orange for a start...I just had 3 roast chicken thighs with 2 jacket potatoes and 400g of cauliflower cheese. 1 orange for afters.
Those are the kinds of meals I really like. How would you improve this?
No oranges!? Those are amongst the only fruit I eat.... Sigh all this feels like a punishment by the worst diet ever. Everything you like is suddenly off limits. I keep thinking is it really worth it. Is diabetes really harmful to me if my readings are 13/18 (fasting/post pranderial). I do have the worst joint pain in my fingers in the mornings but that is probably "just" arthritis.Get rid of the jacket potatoes, and the orange for a start...
