I Think My Blood Sugars Are Returning To Normal

[gordie1]

I got a real fright last night with my blood sugar being 21 with keytones I think my blood sugars are returnign to normal. Nothing to eat since 8pm last night going to have some porridfe I feel a bit shaky but I never slept thinking that I had DKA. I have a huge addiction to sugar and I am giving up. I just hope my sugars will go back to normal and they are not climbing without me realising

That is a new saying on me.
I shall appropriate it and pass it off as my own when required ;-)

Mrs O,


I should be honoured (it's an old Arabic proverb that I first encountered in ((I think)) Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom) but feel free to steal, he's dead and can't sue and I can't afford the legal fees!! Have a wonderful weekend.

You too Pippin

I was diagnosed 3 years ago, type 2, I gave up sugar, brown bread and am generally careful what I eat and drink, I still drink Lager and G & T, walk a lot with the dogs, and lift weights. I see the Diabetic Nurse and the Eye Clinic once a year.
3 years in and still no Meds at all, you can do it, not saying it's easy, it's not, but it can be done.
Good Luck!

Good for you Baldric - I hope gordie sees you and pippin as examples of how it shold be done

get some ketostix to test for ketones in your urine, but sounds like you need more prof support.

Never ever been told I'm a role model, Mrs O - thank you, but seriously as has been said - it can be done.

scrap that, I didn't see your height - too short for me

[Baldric]

Mrs O,
I am honoured.

[gordie1]

PhilDR do ketones go away eventually if you stop eating sugar drink plenty and take tablets as told?

[murraymints]

[Baldric]

Damn,

[PipinDorset]

You could probably get Peter Crouch in the next transfer window, Mrs O....

Baldric - Murray is interested....if you are not too fussy

....runs away very quickly......

[Baldric]

Here's the missing 'L' from Mackerel^^^^^^^^^^


Cheers murray, I was a bit concerned about those Marigolds anyway!

[PipinDorset]

Chasing her would be good exercise for a diabetic.
