Thanks for that, i'll try a smaller one from now on and see if that makes a difference. If not i guess i'll be cutting them out altogether.
e doctors for 2 hoursWhat had you eaten?
Had you exercised, or been stressed between the two readings?
did they give you a sugar drink?Could some one please help me under stand what's going on I went for my bg test last week my fasting reading was 3.5 but 2 hours later I was 13.5, I'm confused to what thins means as cant get to speak to a doctor till next Monday
Sorry didn't explain very well I fasted from 10 the night before went to the doctors they took blood which was 3.5 then gave me a glucose drink 2 hours after it was 13.5So you ate and drank nothing before arriving at the doctors, ate and drank nothing at the doctors, and sat in the waiting room for two hours?
Why were you there, and why were they doing two blood tests on you?

Thank you for you answerAha! That makes much more sense.
Have a look on google for something called an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.
It is designed as a diagnostic tool for diabetes.
As Jack says, if your blood glucose reading is over 11 at the 2 hour test, then the diagnosis is diabetes.
But DONT WORRY!
You are at the bottom of the diabetes scale (some people test MUCH higher)
At your stage of mild diabetes you will probably be given advice to control it with diet and exercise, with maybe one tablet.
No worries!Thank you for you answer
Can someone tell me are the following some of the feeling you get when your blood sugar is low or high . Feeling like my tounge is thick on one side, blocked ear and a burning headacheI have not been well for the last 7 months and lost 7 and a half stone all happened after passing out after eating a twix, my food intake has been really bad I hardly eat maybe that would explain what's going on, I will look at all the information... Thank you x
Diet yoghurt is usually higher carb.Hi, I was told a week ago as well that I am type 2. Been posting my BG results and questioning just like you if I am diabetic. I have gone really really low carb like you. I'll have a diet yougurt and a bit of fruit for breakfast. Lunch is one slice f wholemeal bread toasted with one slice of ham and one poached egg. Dinner is usually chicken and salad or veggies.
I slipped on Saturday and had a Chinese with the family. Only ate half of mine but 2 hours after my BG was 8.5! I had been in the normal range all week prior to this.
I would guess like me your low results is because you are eating right and cutting back on the carbs.
Home made is low carb. Ready meal cauliflower cheese and Broccoli cheese have flour in them so not low carb.There are quite a few options you can try as alternatives, but I suggest you test each one to see the effect:
Sweet potato
Cauliflower cheese or Broccoli cheese (both low carb)
Celeriac
Swap your spud for a desert of berries and Greek yog or cream
Or Cheese as a desert
I have never had those symptoms.Can someone tell me are the following some of the feeling you get when your blood sugar is low or high . Feeling like my tounge is thick on one side, blocked ear and a burning headache
