Quick update. Day two. Numbers around 5.4 before meals and below 8 two hours after. Overnight fasting number 5.0 Eating low carb Ish so far. Have stuck with no more than 45g of carbs. Have got a little obsessed with checking bloods but hopefully that will stop when I stop worrying...

Thanks all. Kinda scary and I'm sure I'm going to panic next few weeks but weigh loss really does help.

Hi all. I was Diagnosed type two last December. I've had a great nurse who's been really helpful and supportive since then and I've lost a few pounds. I've been carb counting and checking my bloods myself to work out what works for me and doesn't. Today I've been told stop taking...

Bought the Sugar free Sambucol will try anything. Not used to getting ill.

Since Christmas I've had the flu. I've had coughs and colds a plenty. Someone at work suggested I try Sambucol who do a sugar free version. I just wondered if anyone else had tried it and has it helped. It says sugar free but that's added sugars.

I never considered the amount of carbs I could be eating. I was given a figure by my Nurse of 50g per meal and have just stuck to it. I know if I've had veg sir fry with chicken for dinner and no carbs pretty much an hour later I could eat again. I'll try reducing it try a little cheese to...

Plain Yoghurt has consumption increased, don't eat cream, my Daughter beats me to any cheese in the house. problem is my numbers don't really go up not past 7 anyway and I do tend to be good as far as sweets and treats go, its the carbs I crave, give me the option at the moment of...

I'm in constant hunger, Diagnosed in December and I've been doing low carb since then and lost 3 stone but in the last 2 months I cant shake this constant hunger that’s never been there before. Its led to some silly choices like 4 Sandwiches at 11pm at night or crisps. My overnight numbers...

what I like about my netdiary is ,I can track food, steps, weight and BG. If I add what I've eaten I can set it to remind me 2 hours later to tell test, im slowly working out what works and doesn't for me. Plus I like to track everything so I tend to do better with food when im doing it...

I just bought the mynetdiary from the apple store. Seems ok but a bit annoyed that after pain over £6 for the app there's a premium version with no adds and support for scales and fitness bands. it does hae food logging and carb counting and blood level recording though.

Thanks, I'm running for around 30 minutes this week and If I run after breakfast and before work I can smash it, no problems I'm tired but doesn't feel like I'm running though mud. After work though even with a small snack its totally different. I just couldn't imagine how much harder I...

So this carried on for a week or so and I got myself into a state, It was the old days before I was told I was type 2. Anyway. Went to see my Nurse (NHS fantastic support) It took her 2 minutes to work out I wasn't drinking enough water. Basically I'd got a new coffee machine and had...

I'm currently doing the NHS couch to 5k app and Park Run is my finish line in 2 weeks. Its gone from not being able to run for more than a minute to this week running for 28 minutes none stop. Cant wait to do Park Run. couple of questions for runners though do you eat before running or...

Thanks, yes as I'm type 2 I only test it every couple of days but I do it as soon as I get up in the morning at roughly the same time. My food intake has gone down massively since finding out and I do track my food intake so I know im ok for that. I've been concerned about my carbs since I...
