Thank you I will have a look.

Can I ask what you eat on an average day. Your HbA1c are very good. Thank you

I've had two small tins tonight but I can feel my calf muscles tightening up - I'm frightened to go to bed as I know I'll be jumping up in a couple of hours in pain. I'm a bit more sympathetic to footballers rolling around on the pitch now lol.

Thanks all, will add avocado to my diet, didn't know they were high in potassium and I'll buy the magnesium spray and Epsom salts to try. Also a non bather here lol. I see @Lainie71, @shelley262 and @lovinglife are diet only/reversed diabetes. Have any of you put your stories on this forum...

Morning - me again. These last few months since I last posted have gone by in a flash, can't believe its getting close to a year since I lost my mum. Been put on BP meds ramipril 2.5 and amlodipine 5mg which have brought my bp down but my ankles swell sometimes in this heat - probably a side...

Thank you for your replies, I feel better just having a few supportive comments. I've collected my blood test form so we shall see. The thing is I know what to do but I just can't do it even though I know it is so detrimental to my health and I don't know if I could keep it up long term. I'm...

Hi Melgar, thank you for replying. I start my day off well with greek yogurt, berries and almonds but then it all goes downhill. I'm office based so sit at my desk with a sandwich, crisps and chocolate. I try and have the Hovis no added sugar bread (I think about 6g of carb per slice). In the...

Hi, I have hovered in this group for a couple of years but have not been online for months. I was diagnosed as Type 2 ages ago and have refused meds on the hope I can control this by diet (which I am failing at). I've had a tough year and just recently lost my mum who had been type 2 for about...

You sound very much like me. I know I needed to do something when I had 2 high readings and so I cut down on my carbs and lost a bit of weight. The diabetes nurse was pleased and asked what I did. When I told her I’d cut down carbs, she said oh you don’t need to do that. Rather than say well...

JoKalsbeek thank you for your reply and advice. I am starting today with a huge reduction of carbs and hope to keep it up in the coming weeks and months. I need to lose at least a stone so hopefully the weight loss will also spur me on. I'm looking forward to receiving the monitor (sad I know)...

Hi, I have been hovering in the grey area for years and my last blood results were 49, this was some months ago and I haven't done anything about it. My BP is raised and so is my cholesterol. I've been looking into reducing carbs but don't want to go keto so thought of sticking to 150g daily...
