OK down to 14st 3lb today when I went on the scales. Now seem to fluctuate between 14 1 and 14 4 for the last couple of months. I'll take it. Would like to put a little back on, but at least I'm not losing massively anymore!

Well, I'm back (never really went, just been working on me). Anyway my scales this morning said 14st5lb so a potential 2lb increase on the week which I'm very happy with. Another couple to put on then maintain it at that level hopefully.

@Chris24Main , @KennyA , @lovinglife , @In Response - thank you all so much for your detailed responses. I think I understand it all a little better now. I previously tried the Libre sensor for a couple of weeks, but didn't probably get as much out of it as I could of done. I might try again...

I did an experiment today with my lunch, as I am testing my BG around my meals. Yesterday I had a wholemeal bun with a slice of ham, a small amount of cheddar, two cherry tomatoes (sliced) as a sarnie, along with a small handful of lentil crisps, and a peperami (its a bit of an animal) and my...

Picking up on an old thread here after doing a search. @KennyA apologies (kinda) for tagging you directly, but your knowledge in this area is far greater than mine, but I wanted to pick up on the mention of alcohol and ask a question. I like a glass of wine or three a couple of times a week...

Another 1lb off that I didn't want to lose. :(

I'm after some ideas please for maintaining my current weight, while still being able to exercise and keeping my carbs low. According to NHS calculator I should be consuming 2600 calories a day - this is before any exercise allowance. I find that eating lo-carb also means low calorie and I am...

Thanks all. So much of it has been achieved thanks to your messages, posts and support!

Just wanted to share my little bit of good news with people (actually I want to shout about it loud but a forum or two will do). Got my latest HbA1C results this morning. I was diagnosed in Nov/Dec 2023 at 55/56 mmol. I've crashed the carbs in my diet, I've been exercising, I've lost 37lbs...

Hello folks. I'm back! So I went missing after my check in on 16 February. Went skiing for a week and wasn't back for check in on 23rd. Came home on 24th, to find out I'd put 3lbs on :( Not sure why I didn't post last Friday, had a lot going on, but I'd lost that 3lb plus another, so not...

Just the 1lb this week, but means 30lbs in total in nine weeks or so, so am happy with that.

I was diagnosed in November/December last year. My first reading was 55, my second 56, and I didn't get to see my DN until about 3 weeks following the second reading. Your numbers are very low (as were mine) but I didn't wait to see the nurse. I crash dieted by dumping virtually all my carbs...

Forgive me friends for I have sinned! Yesterday I decided that we should have a nice takeaway, what with it being Valentines night, so we had a Thai (from a place we've never tried before). My BG testing showed 4.9 before and 7.6 2hrs after starting to eat. I was so disappointed. Not just in...

Go figure eh?

My advice would be to buy a Glucose Monitor and start testing on a morning, testing before and after each meal, see what your BG is like, see what impacts you and don't eat it again. Exercise more (if possible, I don't know your circumstances). Lo-Carb is the way to go judging by the evidence...
