Don't get worried about your test readings .. If you seem to jump high for no reasion it maybe a faulty test strip, or something on your testing finger, so retest .. If eating the LCHF diet (I have around 30g of carbs a day . And sugar is still rising then get back to the Dr for them to look at your DB's statusThanks, you're right there-it isnt them that has to go through the day to day, with all the obstacles.
I have oats now, but used to have swiss muesli, as that was alwys deemed 'healthy' - I was shocked at the sugar content, after diagnosis the supermarket becomes a different shopping experience doesnt it!
My levels are coming down, and I now have a meter to check whats what, its fab - it could be easy to become obsessed with using and testing, altho the medical centre said that I neednt check every day. Some days ill feel ive been well behaved and the reading wont be as low as Id hoped, that gets me down a bit. I think deep down Im hoping for a revelation, but im only into my second month.
Just out of interest what do you folk eat through the day to feel full,yet keep your levels in a good place?
Hello i am Neil i was diagnosed eight weeks ago with type1 diabetesI thought id say hello as Ive been reading the forum with interest & there are some great/helpful/caring people on here.
I was diagnosed just over a month ago & still finding my feet, its trial & error on occasion although my diet is good (always has been although the treats have been quashed for the time being until I can work myself out a bit more) with lots of greens, veg, the right types of fruit/berries etc.. no more muesli, oats instead. The elimination of sugar has been strange, but the mental clarity now due to sleeping undisturbed all night is fantastic. Its made me wonder how much the sugar has been blurring me, even through the day - its like living in another world, there's those that can buy & eat everything in the supermarket, and there's me(us/who now studies everything before I buy it!)
My blood sugar was quite high on diagnosis, accidental really during a bloke check up at the doc's - its come down lots since the metformin use, and stricter diet. Ive never been overweight, but this doesnt always matter Im told - it can just happen through my genetics. A bit frustrating but no point stewing on it, best to tackle head on I think.
Onwards & forwards, best regards

Hi Fergie, welcome to you, I'm not up on these forum's but it appears you've turned up in the middle of a thread, no problem as I am sure someone will pick it up and try to help you with the information you need. I am Type 2 so would have some difficulty giving you the advice you need.
You have definitely come to the right place here, stay calm and don't panic.
Neil
