[QUOTE="david1968, post: 1683102, member: 267782"] Well. I did it. First time today since I was diagnosed as diabetic five and a half years ago and I've managed my blood sugar by what I've eaten without having taken any insulin. Here's the story of the day. Fasting reading (7.40 am) 5.2. Breakfast (8 am) - one medium banana. Blood sugar at 10 am - 5.9. Blood sugar at 12.25 pm - 6.1. Lunch (1.05 pm) - chicken sandwich on brown bread, a mandarin and a Muller Light yoghurt. Blood sugar at 3.05 pm - 7.5. Blood sugar at 5.55 pm - 5.2. Evening meal (7 pm) - battered haddock, a mandarin, a pear, and a Greek yoghurt (and two sqaures of Lindt 90% chocolate). Blood sugar at 9 pm - 6.7. OK, things will change when I go back to work, but I didn't do very much physically today and there are still some changes I can make to my diet, but I'm feeling pretty chuffed right now. Will be interesting to see what my bedtime reading is tonight (last night at 9 pm it was 7.3 and was down to 6.1 when I went to bed after a similar meal but having injected one unit of Novorapid).
