[QUOTE="Humminglime, post: 2315602, member: 531359"] I’m trying to avoid snacking as much as possible but wasn’t sure what I could and couldn’t eat to tie me over if I’m hungry after a meal! I work weird shifts so sometimes I can’t eat at the correct meals times and end up hungry. I’ll give protein as a snack a go I do love pepperami. Unfortunately eggs give me horrendous acid reflux so they’re off the table unless they’re in things :( I do however LOVE cheese! I’m hoping changing my diet will help me lose this extra couple stone I don’t need and howfully have a positive impact ton the diabetes too! Ive been trying to stick to below 8 but so far I’ve had nothing below 7! I don’t really get a lot of unwell feeling symptoms when my sugar is too high, so when I was 16.9 I felt absolutely fine and that worried me more than anything because surely I should have felt unwell? When is high too high? When do I have to go to a doctor? I think I’ll change metres, mine is 100 strips for £25.. and I’m questioning it’s reliability! Luckily I love meat and have started to enjoy fish so I don’t mind upping the amount of meat I eat [emoji5] You provided me with lots of new info thank you! I’m starting to feel much less overwhelmed and maybe I can actually get this disease under control! I had no idea pricking my thumb would be so painful!! Or that after I had tested if my finger get cold they hurt more now! Oh no, might go isn’t likely to prescribe them to me then! God forbid they put a prescription out for something you really need :( not sure how you’re supposed to manage your sugar levels if you don’t know what they are to start with.. I was hoping I could eat porridge because love it! To be fair my Nan is insulin dependant so she probably increases her does so she can eat carbs but she like the tradition meat, veg and potato meals! [/QUOTE]
