Type 2
I am type 2 on slow release Metformin ... Yesterday I had blueberries and strawberries with 30g of oats ( I have tested myself after oats before and was ok).. then I had salad for lunch that contained no carbs and two eggs.. for tea, salad and tuna followed by melon.
Tested my bg at 7 am and it's 9.4!
What am I doing wrong?
 
Maybe the melon?

Anyway, melon seems to be my Nemesis. A small serve easily spikes me from 7 to 10.5.
 
Thank you Eddy,
I had half a honeydew melon!
Another thing off my list of treats..
I would never have thought it would have that much effect on BG.
Hey ho....
Back to the drawing board...
 
I occasionally eat melon. Cantaloupe is I believe the lowest sugar. But half a melon is quite a portion.Maybe have a small slice with strawberries ?
 
I couldn't help it ... It was so delicious!
I will avoid it from now on.
Thanks for the tip about cantaloupe x
 
Ive found that I cant have melon or pineapple, 2 of my favourites out the window!

Sux, doesn't it?

If I'd known how annoying this diabetes thing would be I'd never have signed up for it!
 
Seems you have found your culprit, Sandie.

I know what you mean Eddy, I am becoming obsessed with food and what I can and can't eat. It can all be a bit of a drag sometimes but - big picture.... It needs to be done.
 
It’s so annoying 😡 I can’t eat raspberries at all, even with a few I still spike o_O I can now have a small apple but only one, I tried sneaking another small one in now my bg is stable and yup....up it went :confused: I SO miss fruit, don’t miss carbs ta all but fruit.....and ice cream :(
 
I want to take walking up. I just seem to stroll round the estate with the dog.. really need to pull my socks up and get out there!
