Can some one please offer guidance/ views regarding my latest lipid results please. They are sort of mixed. My triglycerides have been high for at least 6 years but in early January they were 8.99 [very high] and of course my GP said I must go on statins but I said I would reduce by diet. I...

Would appreciate peoples views and expertise on Statins/ Vitamin K2 and calcium in the blood. I am pre-diabetic and as a consequence my GP is determined to get me on Statins. After a lot of pressure a few months ago I agreed but within days my readings had risen a fair bit – even for low carb...

Hi. I am prediabetic and about 5 weeks ago decided to go low carb [not keto] in order to try and improve my blood sugars and the results have been a bit mixed to be honest. At lunch I had a dinner I often have which is fairly high carb and my readings are much higher than normal [before going...

Hi. I am pre-diabetic but because my Triglycerides are very high the Doctor put me onto Statins. I have only been on them 3 weeks but already my fasting readings have increased by nearly 20% and am now well into my 7's and readings after meals that were showing below 7 after 2 hours are now...

Hi. I am supposedly pre-diabetic although the Doctors keep changing their minds. I have been monitoring my sugar levels a fair bit lately because I have started having tremors/shaking that wake me from sleep in the night and I am trying to establish if sugar levels are the issue. Most times 2...

Just modified my breakfast from 1 Oatix with chopped Nuts which was giving me readings of about 7.0mml 1.5 hours afb and for the last few days tried yogurt and berries. The first day added Olive Oil [to delay Gastric emptying] and my readings were: 6.3 1hr afb/ 6.7 1.5hr afb / 7.0 2 hrs afb...

I was diagnosed as prediabetic a while ago and although I have always exercised and I am only slightly overweight I have mostly disregarded the advise regarding carb reduction and consequently seen my reading progressively getting worse over time. My main issue is fasting sugar levels which have...

Hi Hoping someone will have some advise for me. Was told about 2 years ago was pre-diabetic and to be honest after some initial action regarding diet and exercise I then slipped back into my old ways and really did nothing about it. In January I started taking my blood readings again...

I am really confused. I am prediabetic [but only just right on the margin]. I have been taking readings for about 3 months or so and getting variable readings on different days from exactly the same meals - sometimes very high [9-11] and other times lowish [less than 5.5]. I realise mood...

Hi This is my first post. I have been recentky told by my GP that I am pre-diabetic with a hbc1a reading of 43. The GP says I should restrict carbs - not low but limit of 50g per meal [150 a day]. That seemed reasonable until I started looking at labels. The problem is I am not over weight...
