Morning chaps, FIRST ON PARADE! Off to Hereford today to teach French. I don’t speak French. The school are well aware of this, but specifically requested me because of my “good classroom management” - ie I can deal with misbehaving kids quite well. All good fun, eh? On call later, so let’s see what the day brings. Woke up on a nice 5.5 despite a couple of high alarms during the night. Might have miscalculated the carbs in my fake chicken last night, need to look at that again. My ingredients came out at 4g; the recipe said 8. I’ve got some marinading in the fridge in a tandoori gloop, so will try dosing for 8g tonight and see what happens. Have a good one
Do you have a link to the article? I’d be interested to read it
The one thing that bothers me with this study, is that an HbA1c of 6.5% equates to an average of 7.8mmol on our meters. And that’s a lot of time spent (even without massive spikes and hypos to balance them out) with your blood glucose at pretty much double what a non-diabetic runs at. So you may live longer, but the consequences of those levels will manifest themselves in neuropathies, retinopathy, ED, gastroporesis, kidney damage etc. My reasoning is that if the only thing wrong with me is that I can’t make insulin, if I keep my bg regulation at non-diabetic levels, I have no more chance of getting CVD issues than a non-diabetic. It’s hard work to maintain, but I refuse to let this poxy condition do any more damage to my life and body than it already has.Sure. It’s integrateddiabetes.com
The article is called: A1C targets : is 6.5 The Ideal?
I’m sorry but I don’t know how to insert a link into a reply. Cheers. Leeanne
PS I’m in Australia so my replies are sometimes a bit tardy
Alpro yogurt is fab. The coconut one is great in curries too.I'm really enjoying this Alpro pain yogurt, taste wise is more mild than normal plain yogurt and smells absolute divine. I was a bit cheeky and had a small banana and apple with it. I have 10 apples in my fridge saying "eat me please!"
It's easier trying to get my bf to eat veg, but fruit is whole different mission.
