Not going to lie I was like a kid at Christmas when I saw the result. Good to see the hard work paid off. I have to say changing my diet was harder than when I quit smoking 10 years ago. The first 4 weeks nearly broke me. Thankfully I’ve found something that works. It’s boring but it works...

Hello, My GP has done a few A1c tests over the last 2 years which have been widely varying but confirmed in Sept 2024 with an A1c of 81. Straight away they wanted me on meds but I told them no, that I’ll diet and exercise first. It’s now been 3 months, diet changed and a weight loss of 4st...

I was in denial when I was told I was T2 two months ago and like your husband the thought of the diet killed me (I’m such a fussy eater). What has worked for me is this 2x Iceland 1/2 pound Angus burgers (a little drop of curry) Low carb sausage from Lidl Bacon Eggs For sweet snack I...

100% not having alcohol. Attest until I have a better grasp of managing everything. I’m at a point where I’m happy with myself, my weight coming down and like hell will I return to how I used to eat after seeing this change. It only took a life changing condition to open my eyes ‍♂️ So I know...

And this is my issue. I’m the fussiest eater ever, which is why a low carb diet has been a nightmare but worth it. Pretty much the only thing on the menu is like would be a burger and chips. I guess I could ask if they could ask them for a basic sausage bacon and poached eggs since they’d do...

I’ve no idea what’s going on with my original post! I’m type two diet controlled and have been doing a low carb diet and working hard to ensure my next test results is lower. It’s my brothers fortieth at the end of the month and our family is going out for dinner. There’s no real low carb...

I’m T[emoji638]D diet controlled I’ve been doing a low carb diet so far and has worked wonders and I’ve lost about [emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]]lbs in [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] weeks. It’s my brothers...

Cheers @MissMuffett My morning results are coming in around the high 4's low 5's but today it was 6.5 even though it was 5.4 before bed. I have now learned about the "dawn phenomenon" lol I dont know why my attached photo was showing an expected HbA1c of 35, my app is currently showing 39.1...

I've only started to finger prick when i was diagnosed a few weeks ago and haven't / wont be touching alcohol for the foreseeable so that won't be a factor right now thankfully. I'm just trying to do my best to figure out what foods work for me and at the minute with testing before and after it...

Thanks @KennyA & @Chris24Main That helps a lot. I was only properly diagnosed a couple weeks about but the few times I've had the HbA1C done they've been very varied. 46 > 48 > 42 > 81! My goal is to get back within normal range of 31 - 42 by my next test in December. It may sound stupid...

Just curious. Over the last few weeks since being diagnosed I've been working hard on my diet and my BG levels are generally within a non-diabetic range. Though I did break on Thursday and had a curry sausage supper from the chippy (which is what caused my 1 hyper) The estimated HbA1c is...

. Had a family emergency and has been a stressful few days. Thank you for your messages with tips and suggestions. I am mostly likely the fussiest eater you'll meet so trying to find things I can tolerate that won't spike my level is a pain in the ****. For the last week I've been eating...

You both are legends. Turns out the there's only 57% meat in the ones I had. I guess it's back to the shop I go lol

Thank you. This makes me feel a bit better and less stressed! I read a few posts on here that even thought I've having the wholegrain carbs these are just slow releasing so I guess that, and the stress would explain the higher reading this morning. I'll, cut out the brown bread and pasta...

Hi, I was diagnosed with T2 at the beginning of this week. Yesterday was the first day eating food with low carbs. Before my last meal yesterday I self tested and was 8.6 mmol and 90 mins later I was 10.7. (1x wholemeal toast, 2x boiled eggs & 2 pork sausags). That was 8pm last but my levels...
