I have just found this excellent site and will take notice of the advice on it. I was diagnosed as type 2 last December (62 yrs of age) as two blood tests had shown my reading as 8.3 and 8.7. I went home and took two samples later on in the day 4.6 and an immediate test at 4.6. Then the denial set in, when I later read about the disease I found this to be a natural reaction. I was overweight but not too much and I started to check regularly and keep a list of the readings. My fasting readings have never reached 8 since except on one occasion after a huge Chinese meal late the night before. The average fasting reading would be around 7 or less.
As for none fasting, this has with the help of careful eating remained reasonable Here is a sample from my list>>>
19.7.10 10.45pm 5.1
23.7.10 10.01pm 7.4 after food
24.7.10 6.09pm 5.9
26.7.10 8.43pm 8.5 after sugary food
27.7.10 7.32am 7.3 fast
28.7.10 12.30pm 6.0
30.7.10 5.42pm 4.8
31.7.10 10.06pm 5.3
4.8.10 6.34pm 6.9
9.8.10 8.08am 7.2 fast
10.8.10 6.28pm 5.8
I am on one Metformin and one Simvastatin a day but on occasions I forget the Metformin and I noticed that after breakfast my blood sugar was spiking at 10 and above, I traced this with tests to porridge. What are doctors doing telling us that porridge is good for us? :? Apart from an over indulgence of carbs, porridge is the one thing that I have completely given up on! Does this make sence? And with readings like the example above should I be on 2 Metformin as the nurse initialy suggested?
