Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd introduce myself and get some info with regards to my situ.
Got diagnosed with type2, two years ago with a fasting sugar level of 9.6, which was shall we say a bit of a shock. Been going down the diet route and thought I was doing ok until recently. Hadn't taken BS for quite a while and was horrified to discover that my fasting BS was 15.9
To say that I exercise would be an understement!
I'm a 48 year old male.
Gym 4 days a week (Cardio and weight training Lasting at least 2 hours).
Squash 2 days a week (I'm a squash coach). 1 hr and a half.
Also walk the dog in the morning for at least 45mins
So don't think it's the exercise! lol!
As for diet!
For the past 5 days I've really cut back on my food intake to try to stablise my BS. Porridge in the mornings,soup in the afternoon with one slice of wholegrain, with a chicken in the evening. Cut out caffine, bread and potatoes and am drinking 3ltr water a day, but my fasting BS is 12.6.
Any advice on getting my Bs down, would be great. Is the system always this sluggish?
