just seen it on the 6 o'clock news, the woman on it says she is now eating normally after having her diabetes reversed - after them showing T2 is caused by fat around the pancreas disappointed with the BBC in terms of their reporting on this

Thanks and you are right I should give it a bit longer just that I had really good levels previously for the last 3 months and probably hit the panic mode as they have risen and may not even be tied into my reduced dose

That was my first thought so I did a strip test and it confirmed the reading was correct, think I will go back to my original dose and if it settles down try again a later date, could be a bug I have caught or stress etc that is causing it

I do test using a Freestyle Libre and a test strip now and again to verify the Libre results, hence why I know my BS levels are up, it may not be down to the reduced metaformin dose and could be something unrelated just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this when dropping the dosage...

my Hba1C levels are now at 34 down from 50 when diagonsed 4 months ago, brought them down via diet (low carb) and weight loss of 2 and half stone, I am thinking dropping the dose may be too much to soon possibly hence why my BS levels are up or it could be something not related and have picked...

Well done, its great to get to those levels

Hi All, I recently had a review 3 month with the Doctors and he is very happy with my results, he wanted to keep me on 4 x metaformin still where I have 2 at lunch and 2 at the evening meal, I said I wanted to come off them eventually and control it via diet and exercise, so have dropped to 2...

Thank you, just need to keep it up now

Thanks @ziggy_w I went low carb, initially less than 100 but more often than not i am less than 50 most days, weight dropped off my first 2 months last month its more slow in coming off

Defiantly is @Rachox hopefully i can bring the meds down now and maintaining these levels constantly from now on

Just had a quick peek at my Hb1ac levels ahead of my doctor 3 month review, was diagnosed end of July with a reading of 51 my new levels are 34 so chuffed, not sure what that actually means in terms of where I stand yet and how that effects my meds as currently on 2000 Metaformin a day, I lost...

Makes such a difference having the encouragement from your GP, lucky to have him as he always takes time seeing people which does translate to your appointment is never on time but most people understand this and joke about it when you are waiting 30/40 mins :)

has anyone tried the Glutten free Pizza express Pizza's they have 19 carbs per half a pizza, I tried one the other day and didn't push up my BS by much at all

Be very interested to see how you get on with this, theory all sounds good behind it

Had a review with the Doc today after being told I have T2 a month ago, he is really pleased with what I have achieved in just over 4 weeks, lost nearly 1 and half stone which puts me in the overweight category now and not obese, lose the same again and I should be in the normal weight range, my...

just diagnosed last week so still on a massive learning curve, someone recommended sugar sense which I have downloaded and so far it seems good

Wonder if this was it, just had a bbq and had burger, sausage and salad done bloods 2hrs later and again they have fell went from 5.6 to 5.2, i was started on 500 Metformin on Tuesday, I have cut out virtually all sugar and trying to keep carbs under 100g daily, dread to think the carb count...

Sounds like a good theory, only my first readings and by the sounds of people's experience I need a few more before I know what works for me

I did wash which does make it all strange, still early days and lots of learning for me todo - maybe have to write off these results and start again tomorrow
