I hope that your levels settle back down soon and that your tinnitus subsides. In the news recently it has been reported that 1000s say they have developed tinnitus after covid jabs. Scientists are currently investigating. I'm not sure I'm allowed to post links here but there is more info out...

Goonergal you gave so much to so many - you will never be forgotten - Rest in peace my dear friend

I want to add my heartfelt thanks to @bulkbiker too. Absolutely gutted to see he has been totally banned from the forum after all the years he has given so much of his valuable time up to help others. I will forever be in his debt. When I was dx t2d and feeling lost, worried, distraught etc I...

He is a wonderful doctor - I've followed him for @ 2 years - very focused on metabolic health

Always a relief when the hba1c stays where you want it but especially so after a somewhat challenging few months which included a holiday to America (bet that was awesome) and Christmas (top of the challenging times of the year leaderboard!). Now that's all behind you I'm sure your next goal re...

What an amazing post. Well done. It's not easy especially over the last 3 years with all the challenges that have been thrown at everyone. It would have been easy to continue to be in denial (your words) but you took the bull by the horns. And my goodness did you do that. Thank you for sharing...

I don't wear them. After doing much research I concluded they aren't effective against airborne virus. I rarely see anyone wearing one these days in my area.

Hi and welcome. I've been exactly where you are and thankfully stumbled upon this forum almost 5 years ago to the day. I recently made a video to help those newly diagnosed - if you have time to watch (45 minutes but you can stop and start) I feel it may help as a newly diagnosed type 2. Do...

Thanks for the tag @jjraak Thanks for the tag @jjraak Warm welcome to @Claudia 1961 You have been diagnosed prediabetic and am sure you could pull it back to normal range with small but significant changes. I've linked some pics that you will hopefully find as useful as I did when I was...

I was told the exact same thing. My diabetic nurse said testing wasn't necessary. A blood test (hba1c) would confirm if I needed more medication. I was prescribed metformin but declined. I joined this forum and it became immediately clear just how beneficial testing was. We are all individual...

This is a cookery book I've recently added to my collection and it really is excellent, not just for diabetes but for healthy eating in general. Lots of great recipes and info. Very colourful too which I love. I've added the link to Amazon for further info - you can buy cheaper elsewhere. I...

Apologies for derailing the thread! I think what's happened is that i didn't read the title :-( lesson learned :-)

My favourite book to date is The Diabetes and weightloss cookbook. You can get a copy for about £5 on ebay - great recipes in this book too, lots of colourful visuals and info that is clear and easy to understand. Mod edit to remove content irrelevant, which derailed thread.

Brilliant! You're smashing it! Well done.

Fantastic result on the hba1c, eyesight and weightloss. You've ditched the meds as not making you feel so good but you are doing well dealing with your blood sugars by diet. If you don't put the sugar in basically you won't need meds to deal with it. You're also doing weights and treadmill...

I don't drink hot chocolate but had a quick Google. This recipe stands out head and shoulders above the rest - made with almond milk - nice for the winter months and might just give it a whirl myself. https://www.sweetashoney.co/low-carb-hot-chocolate-sugar-free-keto/

Hi Jennie and welcome What a shock for you. But you will get lots of encouragement on this forum. The answer to your question 'if I keep following the low carb diet will I see improvement' is yes. Carbs turn to sugar so lowering carb intake will have an impact on your readings in a good way...

It really is.

It is a massive learning curve - lots to take in for sure and you're doing really well.

Hi and welcome I really appreciate your concerns over your cholesterol level. I had the same when i was diagnosed T2. I will share some information which I hope will help you. Before my diagnosis I ate a lot of carbs and low fat products as I thought fat was bad for me and didnt realise how...
