im new on here, I was diagnosed with type two diabetes in November im not on medication, ive beenstraight away when I found out have been dieting and watching carbs suger and caleries since then, I have been for my 1st 3 month checku with the diabetic nurse and my readings on fasting when diagnosed were 51 or 6.6 my readings after first 3 months are 46 , im continuing to diet to try get down further, I write everything I eat down each day, I also take my fasting each morning and the last 24 readings have now been highest 5.6 and lowest 4.7 I will be going again in june for my next 3 month checkup and im curious to see what the reading from them will be as an average over the next 3 months, I lost half a stone before I found out and have since then lost one and a half stone making two stone so far im determined to get these readings down and control this , hope someone in similar situation can write to me

Morning All

6.1 for me today.

Recent fluctuations due to hardly eating anything, due to an inoperable cancer in my gullet, and whether or not I have red wine the night before...

Going in for a minor op to ease the blockage on wednesday, hoping to regain some control after that.
Seem to be OK symptoms wise down to 4.0 anyway - not been any lower yet.....
Our thoughts are with you honey. Gentle hugs.
