I went through this, in the end I was ok with a few good shots, I cannot state how important it is to invest in the very best, if you are going to have only one or two then make them worth it.

Hi 4.5 stone down and your hba1c heading the right way, that's fantastic. Yes there are probably more things we can all do to help ourselves be perfect* but what you have done so far should not be underestimated in any way and building on what you have done will give you a long term health...

Hi If it's working then keep it up, the long term benefits are worth it. You should be proud of the positive outlook and approach you have to this. Don't be afraid to try new foods and always spice it up! Stay awesome

Hi Here are the nice guidelines. https://cks.nice.org.uk/diabetes-type-2#!scenario What were your hba1c results if I may ask? Your status says prediabetic (sometimes the website for all it's awesomeness says the wrong thing) and if you are pre diabetic then I would suggest asking the nurse why...

I get horribly itchy feet, not on any meds now and hba1c is at 37. I cannot track any time line from eating to massive itch or common foods, the itching only started when I came off meds. I suspect this is all coincidental and it's an external factor which is the cause. I use lush massage bars...

Please don't give up, the world is better with you chipping in and helping people like me, when I was first diagnosed you were clearly someone who chose to take the time to be supportive and wise in your words. Thankyou

I did and it worked out well, my alertness from drinking far more water was rewarding. I did learn to love soda water and a slice lemon

Hi I took 3 years to come off meds. Take your time to learn how to work this out long term. I still surprise myself at the odd highs, lows and my idiocy at not seeing it before hand. However don't loose the dream of being med free, it's a motivating target

You should be proud of the work you have put in, with everything else you have going on you should be super proud. Keep it up and it will be a mere blip on road of life

Hi A clever doctor told me "if you have had your calories for the day, suck it up, a bit of hunger won't kill you", so I have a water and my body has leaned over time that it's not going to win, my will is stronger than my tummy grumbles. I would suggest the question is more around why this...

Tomyam soup. it can be all natural ingredients. Garlic, Chilli, lemongrass, galangal, basil and a lot of hot water. Read up on the medicinal properties for each herb/spice and you will be surprised how you can eat your way out of issues

Hi I agree with all the comments above. As you get this under control you will see changes that seem odd. If any concern you then ask away, we have all experienced oddities and can be a sounding board. If in doubt speak to a doctor or diabetic nurse. Ross

I am a nerd, I looked at my activities for the day and ate only what I needed, I cut out everything that was manufactured and white. lower carbs than most but not down the ultra low route. I drank water, lots of water. I set my limits for a high result lower than the nhs standards, 7 after...

Hello my friend, yes it is possible to have such results with no discernible reason , but as someone else said unless it shows a pattern I would not be worrying about it. Keep being great and testing to confirm that you are indeed great. I was in the workshop for a few hours Saturday and came...
