Hi
@KK123,
Thanks getting back to me, that’s kind of what I was afraid of. I’m not very good at pushing at the doctor’s, you know that the nurse told me there was no need to test and made me feel like a hypochondriac.
My first and only hb1ac test was 69. I’m not due to go back to doctor for another blood test until after 21st June. That’s why I thought it a good suggestion to get a glucose meter. I’m still waiting for the CT scan on pancreas/liver.
It could be I’m still eating too many carbs, below is example of what I typically eat in a day...
Breakfast
Tesco Bran-flakes, blueberries, raspberries with full fat milk
1 x piece of wholemeal toast (if hungry)
Or poached eggs and tomatoes
Lunch
Piece of chicken with salad & tomatoes
or
1 x wholemeal pitta with ham/cheese/tuna/egg salad etc
Roast veg salad
Dinner
Wholemeal pasta/rice dish (dried weight 80g) with homemade sauce/veg/fish
Or
Chicken/Turkey/Fish dish with veg or salad
Snacks
Cheese
Walnuts
Full fat Greek yoghurt
I avoid anything sweet/potatoes/fruit other than berries
My husband and I both love cooking so don’t eat anything processed including ready made sauces and so on.
I’ve not tried testing before/after eating so will try that too.
Thanks again for your interest and help xxx
