Thanks everyone. :)

Thanks @hankjam. Btw long time no speak and hope everything is good with you.

Cheers. My original figures in 2010 were A1c 112 mmol/l and weighed 115 Kg so big improvements !

I had 90% of my colon removed years ago and the practice nurse put me on Metformin. Diarrhoea and vomiting was extensive and was hospitalised. My Colorectal Surgeon was very annoyed with this as it is contradicted for GI surgery/disease. I’m under a consultant diabetologist who has written to my...

Just popping in to update folks on my progress. A1c Nov 2017: 78 mmol/mol A1c Feb 2018: 83 mmol/mol A1c May 2018: 58 mmol/mol I have went from 92.5 Kg in February to 87 Kg (22 May). All my other lab work has improved. Totally changed diet and exercise regime since February and not feeling...

Still about. My BGs are trending about 6-8 mmol/l on waking. Weight now 88Kg down fron 92Kg in February. Doing well Vicky. Send me a PM. :)

No @wolfie11969 I’m still here. Been recovering from an illness and limiting my “screen time”. :)

Reporting late, 8.1 mmol/l, averaging 7-9 mmol/l so I am happy with this. :)

8.7, better than yesterday and below my target of 10. My A1c was 83 in Feb so think that will be going down bit by bit too. :)

9.5 mmol/l, ok not perfect but still <10 which is my target. :)

Tbh I stopped buying bread 5 weeks ago and BG’s are way lower. :)

7.8 mmol/l and happy with that. :)

Oh, I forgot it’s your Birthday ! Enjoy your special day. :)

9.9 mmol/l, not great but still <10. When I have been <2 mmol/l I get hypo warnings like headache, shaking and sweating so I am aware. Thanks :)

9.9 not fabulous but hey still trending < 10 mmol/l. :)

In the early days of treatment but not for a long time. :)

As I’m on insulin (2 injections daily) my DNS has been telling me to test 4 times a day. My before breakfast levels are usually 6-9 mmol/l now but 5 weeks ago they were 13-18 mmol/l or higher. I keep a log book to spot trends and note down any changes to my diet. :)

For the last month haven’t bought any bread, using artificial sweeteners in coffee, reducing potatoes and substituting for green veg, more meat and less dairy (bit intolerant to cheese etc). Well it’s a start of some sort, lost 2Kg in 4 weeks. Exercise is the problem, not walking correctly/pain...

Hi. I’ve been on insulin for years now. My last HbA1c was 83 in February. I am now trying my best to eat a better diet and have mobility problems which make exercise limited. I read my last Consultant’s letter which basically said that due to extensive GI surgery I am not suitable for...

I stopped drinking 8 years ago after my diabetes diagnosis. Bottled water does it for me. Zero calories lol.
