Been on the LC diet ever since I was diagnosed with T2 and my HBA1C have gone from 6.5 to 5.2 (gradually). Lost about 14 kilos in between and am now sitting at 71. However, I am very concerned about lab tests - my neutrophils have declined from 3.7 to 2.6, and most recently 2.1. The normal...

Hey guys! I have a question to ask. I am a T2 controlled with diet and lifestyle changes. Over the last 18 months my fasting BSL has gone from 7.1 to 4.9 (clinically tested). On a daily basis, my finger pricks were always in the 4.6-5.1 range. 2 weeks ago, my fasting BSL suddenly went up to...

Hi guys, Not been 100% over the last few days. I usually wake up to a 5.1 FBG, but in the recent last 2-3 days it’s been 5.3. This morning I tested 3 separate times - all before breakfast. 9 am - 5.3 9.15 am - 5.5 10 am - 5.9 So I decided it was a “bad day”, and went on to have a...

I might have used the wrong word. Instead of "replace", I meant to use the word "Reduce".

Hey guys, Managing T2 on a largely low-carb diet. I am struggling to find things to replace reduce protein as the source of my macronutrient. The only foods that I am currently eating that are higher in good fats and low in carbs: 1. Avocados 2. Cheeses (double brie is my favourite) 3. Tree...

Guys, sharing this as I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty new to finger pricking so this may be old news to the veterans here, but here it goes: - I had a low carb meal of lean kangaroo meat soup (with cabbage), a large piece of salmon and a piece of korean fried chicken, finished off with a cup...

5.1-5.3 everyday for me it seems. pretty consistent!

I used to drink Almond milk a lot , but ever since I read it is highly inflammatory, I've switched to unsweetened soy milk. It has a bit more carb, but iis considered way less inflammatory. I'd suggest a cup of unsweetened Milo (if that's available in your area) or a cup of unsweetened chocolate...

Hi all Ever since been diagnosed in mid-July a few months ago, I've suddenly found myself to be deeply anxious of my diabetes. I've heard that diabetes can increase your risk of various diseases like cancer, auto-immune diseases, etc. This has heightened my own sensitivity to every pain or...

Hi all Just got tested again for my HB1AC and I am down to 5.4 from 6.5 :) I'm below the prediabetic range! Lost 7 kilos in the process, and my weight is down from 85 to 78. Because of my reduced weight, I even hit a new record of 50 push ups in one sitting. This has been a powerful wakeup...

Thank you MrsA2 :=)

Hi all, Thanks for your encouraging messages. This is a late reply as the reality took a while to sink in, but I've read all the messages at least three times to keep me sane and give me some hope. I've made some massive changes to my diet since diagnosis - cutting out most carbs. I went on a...

Hi all I've been recently diagnosed with diabetes with a 1ac reading of 6.5. I'm only 39, so this is scaring the **** out of me. Doc says due to my ethnicity and the fact that both my parents were diabetic, it is likely Type 2. I suspect I've been diabetic for a while now, just never...
