I have just been looking into sources of magnesium and have noticed that nuts are also high! I have such cravings for nuts! I'm sure there are other reasons for this, but maybe it's also magnesium...

That is SO interesting...Now I'm wondering whether I need more magnesium too.
So...are sprouted beans as good as cooked for magnesium? And lima beans...are they chickpeas? or "butter" beans?

Just got back from my appointment with the dietician.
All in all, not bad. I had quite expected to get the standard "base your meals on lots of starchy carbs" that we all get at the dietician.
She said that raw foods are not for everybody as some people find it very hard to digest raw and are much better off with cooked. Luckily I don't fall into that camp, although I have heard t

Day 6...
am reading 4.8. Has to be the best next-morning reading after Wokmania yet!
9am breakfast at the hotel. Was surprised that they were doing really nice bowls of fresh fruit - melon, kiwi, orange, redcurrents, blackcurrents, strawberries. Had one of those, could really have eaten two, so filled up on a couple more of those lovely big purple plums. Wasn't too sure how much insulin to

Day 5...
Seems a long while ago now, not sure I can quite remember!
Did my urine pH again this morning - wondered what the effect of yesterday's nut and wholegrain cracker pig-out would be. Came out at 6.25 Really bad! So, was it the nuts or the crackers, or both???
Breakfast 7am - veggie juice, usual kind of ingredients and a banana. No insulin.
Went out on my bike for an hour at 8a

Day 4...
Yesterday bedtime BS 7.4
This morning BS 3.9...thought this was a bit strange as went to bed quite reasonable. But I do get up a couple of hours later at the weekend so often find my am readings are lower than during the week. Ate one small yellow plum to correct then went back to bed.
Also tested my body pH with a urine test strip (just like the ketone testing strips). 7.0.

Day 3...
Got the curry wrong yesterday - bedtime BS 12.9 Thought about doing a correction, but often when I do that I hypo during the night and I really hate it when that happens. So left it and woke up not too bad at 5.9.
Shock, horror, opened the fridge at 6am and there was no fruit left and not many veggies. Decided to bike up to town (25 mins each way) to the 24 hour Asda to get in sup

Unfortunately, had big junk food binge last night, whoops I think that was my body preparing for its new regime. Consequence was shocking BS this morning...11.8
Didn't feel hungry for breakfast this morning, hardly surprising given what I stuffed last night, so had some fruit about 10am - 2 oranges BS 7.0, 3 units Novorapid, one for each orange and an extra f

Wow Angie, thank you for the compliment...can't imagine being an inspiration to somebody (crawls under the table to hide!). What type diabetes are you? How is it going?
Thank you for your support everybody!

I like veggie juice at the moment, especially because I can drink it on the car on the way to work if I am getting late!
today I had 1 pint of...cucumber, kale, spinach, green bean, celery, a tiny bit of carrot and half a lime. That was very good and kept me full from 7am to 10:30!

167. check this out!!!
Hi everyone
Thought that this would amuse you!
I have posted on a diabetes forum that I use that I am trying to get more into raw food to see what effect it has on my blood sugars and insulin use. Check out this reaction I got:
If you are a type 1 diabetic then no you can not get off of insulin.
Are you feeling suicidal by any chance?
I also hope you have a good funeral plan because

Hi!
I find that just coming on this site every day to read the new posts really helps to inspire me and motivate me to start new the next day. Had another 100% raw day yesterday
I also agree about focussing on the positives. I read something about that the other day and am trying it. so...instead of starting the day with "I'm so fat, today I am not going to binge, I am not going to

Hi nibs!
I did a metabolic typing test about a year ago and I also came out a heavy protein eater. I think there is something to it. I had noticed that a fruit breakfast made me feel bad and that lots of starchy carbs made me want more. In hindsight, I was hypoglycaemic then, which would explain why that made me feel bad, then that led to diabetes, so clearly carbs threw my blood sugars out

171. Spiralizer
Hi all
Just wondering how those of you with spiralizers get on with them? I have tried using mine several times and instead of nice thin spaghetti I get very thick spirals. You can see where the machine has tried to cut thin strips but not quite managed.
Anyone else had this problem? Any tips?
Thanks

176. Re: Puffy?
Thanks for all your interesting comments!
I do eat a lot of tomatoes and celery and I also often eat fairly close to bedtime to make sure my blood sugar is high enough to guarantee I wake up again (diabetic)! Also I am not exercising as much at the moment because I have an injury. So all these things would make sense!
Thanks again

Hi Wies
I have candida! I have had it for months and the thrush/UTIs I kept getting were what led me to be diagnosed with diabetes. I am not noticing much difference, but then again I haven't been 100% raw...I've kind of been raw with junk food binges, I've been having real trouble adapting to raw.
