I thought I was eating a low carb diet with being 40 or under carbs per meal. I have some kidney damage and so have to watch protein levels as well. I do like the looks of some of the recipes here. I was at 122 (5.8) this morning and actually slept well last night so I am happy today.@SWUSA I feel great, more energy than I have ever had and just as well as we are raising our 1 & 4 yr old grand daughters. I sometimes struggle to get the carbs over 10gr a day so I have made sure to start eating more veges. Have you looked at LCHF at all, it takes a while to adjust but it is well worth it.
I test once a day, when I first wake up when I am feeling well. I even skip some days if everything is going well. I always test at least three mornings a week. If I have morning highs or I want to know how some food affected my blood sugar I test two hours after a meal. If my blood sugar is really running high or I exercise a lot I will test every 4 hours. My current doctor recommends that I test once every morning when I first wake up.Good morning peeps hope your all well?
I have a question, as a newly diagnosed type 2 how often should i be testing my bloods? Was just given metformin to take and an appointment in a month to go back, no real information, my daughters boyfriend is type 1 so has helped a lot with info but wasnt sure about how often to test.
Thanks have a good day.
That sounds like a yummy sandwich! I will try it. I am going a little higher fat than I used to and am having better control generally.My trouble has always been eating desserts after 9.30pm. Now I have changed everything I eat, "No added sugar" cereal or bacon & eggs for breakfast, for lunch I alternate daily between a low GI roll with lettuce, bread & butter cucumbers, capsicum and some sliced meat then a sesame seed knot roll with Maasdam cheese toasted in a sandwich press, each with a piece of fruit. I have found the sugar free jellys or (jello) with a drizzle of thickened cream make a great dessert. I also like the "No added sugar, No fat" fruit yogurts that are sold now. I have also found a brand called Gullon (from Spain) that sell sugar free biscuits, eating 1 or 2 at night doesn't seem to affect my levels. Good luck, Paul..
