I'm almost 3 years from diagnosis, my Hb1ac was 95, within 3 months I was back to normal blood sugar levels. I tested and tested and it paid off. My bloods have been in the low 30's for over 2 years now. For the last 18 months only test once daily , first thing in the morning, and that's it ...

If I use my laptop I can see peoples profiles, if I use my phone ( most likely scenario) there are no profiles on view, When I got diagnosed and logged into this site, dazed and shocked, I felt slightly intimidated to be told I have to fill in my profile details, I was also chastised a few...

Just picked up my copy of the book from "The Works" , even my non diabetic wife can't wait to try some of the recipes. An excellent read, loads in stock at the shop too !! You could try ringing the Denton, Manchester branch and see if they will post it to you 0161 336 0060.

Couple of articles on low carb, One of the articles https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-6904407/How-food-love-SAVED-life.html some very nice recipes, so I though I'll buy the book. Googled it and found it available from The Works £6 (six) !!! Just bought my copy The Diabetes...

We all get a bit down now and again for instance I've put about 4 /5 pounds on since xmas and I'm annoyed with myself, but 4.5 stone lost is nothing to to be down about AND you're no longer in the diabetic range. personally I think you should give yourself a big pat on the back ( and a large...

2 years ago Hb1ac of 95 it's now 30 and like you I find if I go " normal" ie curry, rice ,Nan say then my bs does go up but not to much. Next day fasting is back down to 5.0. I'm sure if I ate **** every day I would soon get back to an Hb1ac of 95. It just reassuring that, very occasionally...

I was recently given 40g of Prednisolone daily for a chest infection. It was a short 4 day course. My normal fasting BS is about 5.0 . Day one my BS rose to 10.8 after taking the medication and stayed high all day. BS next morning was 7'0 Day 2 after taking my medication it rose to 12.6 and...

Well I was nearly 18 stone and had tried everything over the years, no joy. Upon diagnosis I found this site and within days I got myself a meter and started on my low carb regime . Out went bread , pasta, rice, beer as my meter said NO. In came bacon eggs, lots of , green veg , cauliflower...

I've decided that I have to keep up with the medication as even after 1day I feel it's doing me some good. My BS at 9am was 6.4 (high for me, normally less than 5) took the meds and 2 hours later it was 6.9 , another 2 hours 8.9 and just before my tea at 1730 8.8 so not quite as bad as...

I have a brown preventer, got a spare of that and a blue inhaler, my doc will onlyprescribe me with one blue one at a time and because I don't need it so much these days ( maybe one inhaler every 2 months or more) I tend to forget to renew it until it's almost empty After today's fiasco I...

I've had it long enough ( over 35 years) to know it's not to be messed with, about 20 years ago I was very poorly with it. Since I was diagnosed T2 and got myself back to " normal" my asthma has subsided,. Went 4 months without I attack recently but if I get a cold I go overboard , slightest...

I was diagnosed with a HBc1a of 95, ( bs 15 plus ) very high, I got it down to normal in 4 months by a LCHF diet and constant checking. If you publish a typical days meals , maybe , just maybe , we can all help to tweak your diet. For instance I used to eat 3 shredded wheat of a morning...

Meant to say, I tried a libre xmas 2017 but put it on in the wrong place which meant sleeping in an awkward position . Result really sore shoulder , took months to get it right again, so I feel your pain. Glad you're ok

thanks for that, not used to bloods that high, scary !! Thing is I only wanted a new pump, don't actually feel too unwell, nasty cold and a cough. I always overreact with my ventolin, many years ago had to be hospitalised for a day, as I couldn't control my breathing, so it is always on my mind...

I'm asthmatic, well I have to use a blue inhaler once or twice a week, anyway since just before xmas I've had this cough, driving me nuts , it seemed to go away but last week it came back with a vengeance, coughing like a barking dog. My chest was very tight and I had to use my blue inhaler a...
