[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2427943, member: 94045"] Many, many years before I was diagnosed (25 plus) I spent a lot of time in my office sweating. I know how awful it is. It was nothing more than the menopause. I have no idea how old you are or whether this could apply to you, and I apologise if I have overstepped the mark with this. It is a great shame you don't like eggs. They are an excellent nutritious food for everyone, not just T2 diabetics. You could try a full fat Greek yogurt with a couple of strawberries cut up and added, or raspberries. Perhaps even try missing breakfast completely, but have a coffee with plenty of cream rather than milk. This will fill you up nicely. You must absolutely buy yourself a meter. It is the best tool we have without spending a fortune on a CGM. If you test yourself before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite you will see what that meal has done to your body. Your blood sugars will rise, as would anyone's, but the idea is to keep any rise below 2mmol, preferably lower. Keeping a food diary alongside the testing will allow you to spot trends and patterns. Of course your nurse told you there is no need for a meter. She is very wrong, but you can't blame her as she is following NHS rules - other than those on certain medications are not allowed meters/test strips on prescription. If they advised us to use them they would have to prescribe them. You will see from the posts on this forum that the vast majority of us self fund our own meters and would not have managed without one. Please consider self funding. We can help you with this if you ask. [/QUOTE]
