[QUOTE="sw11bloke, post: 376579, member: 59057"] it sounds like your bf has had diabetes alot longer than he knew. Usually a new diabetic does not have such high readings because their body still produces some insulin. My advice 1) do a DAFNE (Dose Adjustment Course for Normal Eating) ASAP. His diabetic clinic would arrange this. This course will teach him the basics and how to carb count and adjust his insulin. It will teach him to take control over his diabetes and provide him with confidence. 2) Dont eat more than 40/50 grams of carbohydrate per meal. Huge amounts do spike you blood sugar readings. 3) Eat whole grain carbs & veg which grow above the ground. 4) stay off alcohol until he has done DAFNE 5) Excersise moderately 6) Text regularly 7) Always carry his glucometer, insulin and Lucuzade. Good luck to you both and keep us posted how he gets on. [/QUOTE]
