    Can the Astra Zeneca vaccine cause raised blood sugar levels?

    Im struggling anyway to reduce my blood sugar levels after mis-managing my diabetes throughout lockdown. However, I had my 2nd jab on Saturday and my levels have been high, this morning it was 16.5 despite eating keto now for the last 2 weeks!

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    Thank you so much! I too live a few hundred metres from our local shop too, so I know all too well how easy it is to just go and buy snacks and chocolate! I only seem to manage 3 months eating keto and then I’m like, I can’t do this anymore. The problem is I’m a very slow weight loser and when I...

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    Hi, I honestly don’t know why I keep doing it! It’s like, I get good results from my hba1c and then think, oh a week off won’t matter and I go back to eating all the bad foods! I take 4 x 500mg metformin daily, plus atorvastatin once nightly. Thank you for your reassurance re the insulin.I’m due...

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    That’s so encouraging, thank you. My dream is to get back to the low 40’s on my hba1c levels. I’ve scared myself this time with high blood sugars still after a week of getting back on low carb. Praying that I’ve learnt my lesson and that I can stay on track. It’s so hard though!

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    Im not sure if a couple of days will be good...I have to drive for my job. I don't want to be passing out at the wheel! I could try a day and see if that helps to start bring them down?

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    Thank you so much for your reply. My weight has slowly crept up since I first dropped about 21lbs back in 2017 but has stayed pretty constant for months. I need to lose 2 stone to feel good about myself again. Exercise has never been a fave activity for me! I am pushing myself to get out and...

    Have I completely sabotaged myself?

    Hi, was diagnosed T2 in 2017 and at first I did everything right, changed my diet, lost weight, and got my hba1c down from 94 to 44. Then it all just fell apart. For the last three years I’ve fallen off the wagon so many times, with periods of getting back on and doing what I should be doing...

    I need to get back on track but seriously struggling....HELP!

    Thank you all so much. The shopping list is a great idea so I will do that. I’m so weak when it comes to chocolate, sweets etc, all the stuff that got me here in the first place. I need to lose about 3 stone too so I have a hill to climb. I have a wonderful family with a new grandchild so I HAVE...
