Surely it depends on the carbs? I've stopped eating anything sugary/simple carbs Juice,fruit,sweets etc I haven't had any for more than 6 months I can eat 30/40g carbs in one meal and not see a rise in blood sugar(depending on type of carb/meal) This is where I'm confused Everyone on here...

I've tested myself more than 150 times now over the last 5 months and in that time I've seen an 10.1mmol,8.8mmo and a 7.2mmol ALL the rest have all been in the 6's and 5's My last few days morning fasting results where 5.5 5.2 and 5.1 In all honesty I've actually been feeling better since I...

Thanks for the replies It's all so complicated,I don't know what I'm doing 4 months of low carb was about all I could manage Especially cost wise Obviously I'm not going to go back to eating white bread,cakes etc

Yeah eat plenty Often happens during the night if I can't sleep and lay awake for a few hours Regularly check blood pressure always fine

Hi folks Quick background Diagnosed type 2 in June this year H1bc of 80 After 4 months of strict diet I got it down to 36 without medication When I was initially diagnosed I was literally having to eat every 2-3 hours I would wake up during the night feeling floppy(my phrase for low sugar...

Thank you for the responses I'm going to try the more fats route At 1st my main goal was weight loss thinking this would in turn bring down h1bc and I would feel good It's abit disheartening bringing it all the way down and still feeling poorly It's hard to know what's diabetes or anxiety but...

Thanks for the replies I'm not on any medication for anything,Tbh I have a bit of a phobia about medication Diet was based around ease and cost I'm not working just now so cost is a big factor(it's too expensive as is) When I showed the diabetic dietician my plan she asked why there was so...
