Thank you for these diet links these have been eye opening for me!! I think I’m going to try the low carb diet for 14 days and with the tablets hopefully this brings my blood sugar levels down. I think a massive mistake I’ve been making is substituting ‘white’ for ‘brown’ thinking that is a lot...

Done my bloods again this morning it was 16.6! It’s starting to get me down now. Even went for a 5k walk with the missus as people have suggested doing some exercise then testing my bloods after. It was 18.1 after I came back from the walk !! Paulus1 can you tell me what you’re having on a...

If you don’t mind me asking what was your blood readings the first week? Could 14.4, 13.8, 13.7, 13.8, 14.8 be ok for now until I see when I’ve been taking the tablets for a while? I suspect that my blood sugar wouldn’t come down straight away ? I just feel like going from one extreme to the...

Also I forgot to mention I did ask the nurse was I tested for ketones she told me there was a trace of ketones but that could still mean type 2 or type 1

I am still urinating a lot but then I am drinking a lot more water. And the stuff I said I ate and drank with working shifts I haven’t touched for 2 weeks now

Thanks for replying to me I appreciate it. Using that BMI calculator mine is 27.3. At the doctors I was 172cm and 81kg. As I put in the very first comment the doctor kept saying that I was only slightly overweight not that big ‍♂️ For as long as I can remember before all this I was around...

Hello !! I’ve not replied for a few days just because I’m trying to get my head around things, apologies. Went to see the diabetics nurse found out that my blood sugar level was 8.7% / (71mmol/mol) my first blood test. Found out a lot of information off the nurse that I feel better now for...

Thank you for your reply. When I went the doctors he just measured my height and weight and took a urine sample. He didn’t give me my BMI, blood sugar levels, didn’t mention anything about ketones or of I had been tested for this. He just told me to make an appointment at reception for the...

Hi himtoo, I’ve still not been told by anybody what my blood sugar levels are. With having to wait 2 weeks for my first appointment with the nurse I have just phoned the doctors to ask if they could tell me the blood sugar levels but they couldn’t. But whilst on the phone they had a...

Also I was prescribed Metformin 1 a day for a week, then 2 everyday forever

I know I have just written an essay , apologies just have so many questions. I am 34 years of age and the doctor also said to me, as he was making up his mind that type 1 is normally when you’re a lot younger in age, before he told me he was going with type 2, as if he made his decision that I...

If someone did have type 1 diabetes , would a doctor be able to tell straight away ?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes but my doctor just didn’t give me any confidence if he was completely sure about what type I was. About a week ago I noticed my eyes going blurry almost instantly, I can see close up but struggled to see people from far away, then when I was...
