I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in August 2021, this was after a heart attack. I was also diagnosed with high cholesterol & high BP and had a Stent fitted.
I am now on a low carb diet. Was on metformin but this was stopped because of constant diarrhoea.
My total cholesterol is now 2.9 I have gone from 11st 6lbs to 10st.
My HBA1C was 72 but is due to be checked the end of this month.
My BM was 12.4 in August.
I do a fasting glucose test every morning. Results between 4.5 & 7.6 but mostly 6.1
Is a fasting test the best one to do? Or should I be testing before and after meals? And if so, what results should I be looking for?
Any advice would be great thanks.
