Hi all, So I have just got back from seeing the nurse after my first 6 month check up and blood test since diagnosis in April. I was diagnosed in April with an HBA1c of 56. I was fairly fit and active for a 298lbs 40 year old, but it wasn't a massive surprise. So 6 months on with the help...

Diagnosed 4.5 weeks ago, changed to lower carbs and this morning I've lost 13lbs since diagnosis.. All with the help of this forum... Thanks all... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Full fat or low fat Greek yoghurt? Just wondering as I'm using the full fat stuff for the first time this week in the morning and this is the first week in ages I've had no weight loss, and was wondering about switching to the low fat Greek yoghurt in Lidl... Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

Dank u, ik ben nog steeds heel basic. Ik werk in Mechelen vrij vaak en dat helpt. Bedankt voor het aanbod.

To be honest I am just trying to gauge what is good and bad etc... I love Belgian beer, so much so I holiday in Belgium and am learning Flemish. So my next test will be a Westmalle Tripel, and see what that does to me. I'd love to be able to have one of these every now and again. Where I find...

Cheers for all of the positive comments guys. Did another test this morning, woke up at 7.5 had some Kellogg cereal (I know but I work for them! :-) ) 2 hours later 9.2... Is that really bad, marginally bad or just bad? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

But it was Cauliflower rice, so not really rice at all it was just cauliflower flavoured with a but of garlic, whizzed in a food processor and steamed.

Guys, Diagnosed T2 about 6 weeks ago now. Decided to get myself a blood tester, thanks to people on here for the code for the testing strips, 1 hour before my evening meal it read 6.7, 2 hours after food it read 7.1. I was expecting this to be a bigger swing to be honest, I thought 2 hours after...

Thank you so much to all of you for the info. There is a hell of a lot to take in. I now have the wife saying can you eat this? can you eat that? should we buy this? and she is getting frustrated as I don't know the answers. I think I'll read through all of the info you fine people have given me...

Below 10g per 100g of carbs, ouch, if I did that now looking through my cupboards I would need to make a meal out of pepper and baking powder.... :-)
