I looked up foods with biotin and I realised that all my favourite foods have a lot of biotin except for Montezuma 's. My feeling is that if it is in food it is OK. The supplement I took had masses of biotin - which I think caused the problem.
It will be interesting to see if I have another low hb1ac in March. If I don't - it wasn't stopping the biotin that lowered the hba1c.. Of course I did buy some lovely new socks before I had the hba1c - so it could well be the new socks that gave me the low hba1c.
You are sorted then. Avocado not on the list and new socks bought.I should be fine then. I bought about 20 pairs after my last A1c. Avocado wasn't on the hibi list
@HarryBeau and @DJC3 - Archie a bit better this afternoon. We rang vet who isn't worried as lots of dogs in our area have it and it is not causing serious problems.Poor Archie...maybe he is just a little unsettled Krystyna with all the (unwanted vet) attention...one of my old cats refused to come into the house for days & days after a trip to the vets...fingers crossed for all of you.
Archie is on the mend - thank goodness.@gennepher thanks for the cheerful colours today, much needed by many.
@Krystyna23040 hope Archie gets better. I found what you said about B vitamins interesting because I also take B vits daily.
So sorry that your symptoms are worsening but really good that the PPS has finally been recognised.6.2 this morning following another bout of daytime lows.
I received my official diagnosis for Post Polio Syndrome yesterday.
No worries, I have been chasing this dragon for 20 years. Back at the start, the NHS refused to discuss it and I sat on my hands and waited. Five years back they looked at it and said: "you may have but it hasn't progressed to where it is a problem".
Last two years I've had swallowing issues, blackouts, sleep apnea, muscle issues, fatigue, and, it seems, T2. Hospital had looked at each separately and refused to link them until recently, and now they have conceded.
Like my Asperger's diagnosis, I am quite happy to finally get my PPS recognised, not happy that I have it mind.
Now that it is official they also let me know that there are around 120,000 polio survivors left over from the 50s in the UK and there's a high chance they could develop PPS. Nice to know.
The reason for the final diagnosis is that my symptoms are progressively worsening and there is no known cure for it.
Anyways, final days are still a way off and I'll probably choose euthanasia as my option. Not a religious man so tots and pears aren't necessary, but I thought I'd share it as it will be a factor in my ongoing T2 and may have been the underlying cause.
Enjoy the day
Scary readings. I will be really interested to hear what they reply; How could anyone think this is a healthy way to eat for someone with T2D.Precursor to replying to my DUK complaint via email..I went on their Facebook page and asked a question:
Question if I may. Ive started to follow your 7 day meal planner. I followed the breakfast suggestion of 2 slices of seeded brown bread with butter. Eaten at 9.30am with black tea.
19g carbs per slice = 38g 4g carbs = @ 1 teaspoon of sugar So @ 9.5 teaspoons of sugar
You also say you should eat 5 lots of fruit and veg a day spread out throughout the day.
So I had 100g banana at 12.15pm. 100g banana = @ 5 teaspoons of sugar
Using my libre sensor 24 hour constant glucose monitor I recorded the results. I ended it after the banana because looking at what you suggested for me for lunch I thought I couldn't risk my blood sugars going to dizzy heights.
I was struggling to decide between a tuna toastie, 2 slices of bread, stuffed pitta, beans on toast sardines on toast, all taken from your 7 day meal planner.
So my question is this. You recommend starchy carbs like bread, pasta, rice potatoes. All which will spike my blood glucose. As a result my hba1c will go up. Mysugr app confirms this.
So how can your recommendations be healthy for a type 2 diabetic?
Standard reply....but I followed it up with 2 more questions. I'm awaiting a reply.
@HarryBeau and @DJC3 - Archie a bit better this afternoon. We rang vet who isn't worried as lots of dogs in our area have it and it is not causing serious problems.
Archie keeps going to his bowl and looking hopefully at us but we dare not give him more food. He is drinking lots of water so is keeping well hydrated.
It is definitely coming out as well as going in. So far no sickness today. He is sleeping a lot more than usual, but is alert when he is awake.I'm glad to hear he's doing a little better, and drinking -- as long as all that water is coming out as well as going in ...
it was 3.1not the best! but i’m gonna try my best to come up with better fbg
Having a day to ourselves Mrs MC and I agreed we should visit Trentham and have a walk around the lake and Italian gardens. We have season tickets purchased with Tesco points and so it cost us nothing. Sun shone all day, bitter cold, snow drops, Ellebores and primroses everywhere a good day. So inspired by Mr Capability Browns landscape this is today's watercolour sketch, between A4 and A5 paper size, brushes used shown and 30 minutes to complete.
