Bless you. Yes this is my whole emphasis and I need to work out my triggers with foods. I have invested wisely with you guys. Thank you.
Hi and welcome,
Had a quick read through all the posts you have received so no need for me to add more of the same.
Like you I was massively shocked when diagnosed, in fact I did the girly thing, I cried! But the tears were replaced with a determination to beat this, I did not want meds and I certainly didn’t want a future without toes, feet or worse, hey I have a massive shoe collection that is constantly added to, need both feet firmly attached for that addiction. So I disregarded the NHS advice, followed the info given here and haven’t looked back.
You will find support and motivation here, you will get tough days, we all do, we are after all human beings, not machines, I just chalk it up to experience and move on.
A meter is the only way you will know how your body copes with certain foods, again what one person can tolerate is different to the next.
Good luck, check in regularly and shout if you need anything
I think this is one of the nicest first posts to a new member I’ve seen, well done, it’s friendly, informative and should appeal, I’ve yet to meet any ex service guy who doesn’t love a challenge.
No need to put your head down and charge - using low carb to control blood glucose is - for the lucky ones, a doddle.
I got my numbers down to normal and a few weeks later was walking around the supermarket and got a sudden slithering sensation - having lost a couple of stones I needed to buy new clothes. I am now a L not a XXL without even trying.
Although officially a little old lady I can still go off to the local Arts University three times a year and service their knitting machines, lifting and moving them around had become somewhat problematic, but now that I am unshakably low carb I am finding it far easier to manage them, particularly towards the end of the day.
meant to be helpful, not derogatory in suggesting that some of the lovely smells of things you felt you had to give up that you didn't have to give up at all to lower your bloodsugars and help you lose weight. You do need to read more on fats and carbs.
May I suggest

has nice color charts.
Well great fasting levels and post meal are within NICE guidelines but that will not get you into remission.
I think tweaking what you eat to aim for a post meal rise of no more than 2 mmol/l is a useful target. Early days though so keep testing.
I would wash hands and repeat that one it is too lowI have just tested(guess i’m trying to get used to harpooning myself) 30 minutes after eating. Nothing much. A chicken breast, palm full of spinach, 0.25 onion, 1 celery stick, 0.25 red pepper, 7 button mushrooms, teaspoon of Philly, teaspoon of chicken stock dissolved in to 200ml of water, layered with 1 generous sized tomato. Made 2 Oval Pyrex dishes so I can have 1 tomorrow or Monday. Anyway....

Think it’s the weather, or the moon, or the turning of the tide, I’ve had higher numbers today, might also be too much walking in new boots, ouchSo far this Sunday....slightly myth’d but equally happy.

Me too! Lucky they are not required eating for diabetics.I do not eat Toffee Apples, Cottage Cheese or Rolo’s as I consider them foul.
You might find you could lower your bgs simply by getting the conventional 7-8 hours sleep.My routine starts at 04:00 and genuinely ends(on a good day) at 22:00
