Hi ally do you eat carbs and what is a typical meal for you, just wondering if making some adjustment to what you eat would work for you? Not saying you should follow what I do but my BG doesn't go so high in a morning it's usually in 6s, but I do intermittent fasting has it helps with BG control and weight loss which is what I needed 12 months ago,and I do the fasting just by not eating after my evening meal upto mid morning or lunchtime next day. But if you did try it just try a shorter period of fasting and see how you get along!K

I hope it will come back down to the 5’s and it’s just my liver dumping after Christmas excess including more alcohol than usual. Find diet control harder whilst living with the family.

Prem, have you always not have medication to control your blood sugar? How do you do it?

No I was never prescribed meds. My HbA1c at diagnosis was 49, and I brought it down to 44 by my 3 month retest, and have kept it below 47 since then. By cutting sugar and carbs, and walking.

It's a terrible time of year for nasty bugs, I've had them before Christmas so I hope your soon feeling better just keep warm and drink plenty fluids! Preferably not the alcoholic types! HahaK

11.7 this morning, had two boiled eggs for lunch yesterday, dinner was liver, onions, a few petit poise in gravy, only drunk water and a couple of teas, I would think the gravy did it, back to kippers I think :-(

Same here I’m afraid.

The “high fat” bit of LCHF diet raised my cholesterol to dangerous level!

So I’ve been advised by my GP to reduce saturated fat and eat healthy fats instead from oily fish, avocados, chia seeds etc.

That's what I do for fats along with nuts.

Trouble is I live with my family or visa versa permanently sometimes it's a battle to stay on track.
