Oh for a HbA1c of 47! On diagnosis mine was 127, now down to 74. I snack on nuts now.

Best snack I know is celery! :D

There was once an urban myth that celery had negative calories, in that it took more calories to digest than its digestion yielded. 🙂
 
I'm addicted to Kabanos, a Polish smoked thin dry sausage (think Pepperami but nicer). You can find them in most supermarkets. Luckily I can carry on eating them as they're virtually carb free :D
 
Ohh, I'll have to look out for that. Bound to find some in Wisbech.

Hello everyone , thank you for the replies .
Now I have become seriously stupid since this diagnosis diabetes type 2
I simply cannot understand all the figures .
I just tested my blood glucose for the very first time , 90 minutes after a fruity home made smoothy and two oatcakes . It read at 8.7 , is that high or low ?
Please help ......

It depends on what your reading was beforehand @wildagayn, it is on the high side, but within range for a diabetic. However, if you were 4.7 before, then it's a spike, on the other hand, if you were 6.7 or over then it's OK. I have to say, if it had been me, my BGs would have been in the teens 90 minutes after a smoothie.

My DSN keeps telling me to try and stay between 5.0 and 9.0 which I do most of the time, apparently he believes this is the Holy Grail of BGs, but I'd rather run a little lower and try to stay between 4.5 and 7.0, which is a struggle.
