13.2 this morning which was slightly lower than usual. I am currently getting tested for LADA/Type 1 though

I believe it was the GAD test and my usual 3 monthly a1c. It’s a relief to know my eating habits haven’t helped cause this as I’ll be honest it has been playing on my mind quite a bit! I understand what you mean in regards to diet, I’ve had to pay close attention to mine for a few years...

It really is a minefield isn’t it!! From what my GP has said (he’s fantastic by the way) he thinks I’ll benefit from insulin but wanted confirmation of T1 or T2 first, hence the tests which I’ve had this morning. Im sure he will do these other tests if necessary but I will definitely mention...

Thanks for your replies. I have just come back home from having my blood tests done so we’ll know soon enough I guess! In answer to your question regarding food, my doctor & diabetic nurse have both said I eat very healthily. In truth in the past, I have always been someone who eats when I am...

Good Morning, I’m going through something very similar. I was diagnosed pre diabetic in November and had my fasting glucose which was 61 in Feb. I was dx with Type 2 & over the course of 3 weeks I was put on 2000mg of Metformin a day. My son bought me a testing kit so I could track what...

They are my one downfall lol, In regards to salt I have to be careful as I’m also now on tablets for high cholesterol too since I’ve been dx diabetic. I’m realising I need to take baby steps to get my head around it all. Particularly all the things I’ve always regarded as healthy being not so...

Could be! It’s literally the only sweet thing I eat, I’ve never been one for sweets & chocolate so avoiding those is easy for me. When someone puts a bag of walkers Cheese & Onion in front of me though, it’s over haha!!

Thank you for your advice, it seems I’m at the start of a long journey!

They will definitely Have done it then, I feel like diabetes is sucking the life out of me right now lol

Hi This was the result in November & my retest in February was the same. I’m due back for another in May. My BG is 10.8 this morning so a protein shake for breakfast it is lol.

I’d had my first high reading before I had them & in fairness, I only had about 6. I’ve had no other sugar apart from those all day so it’s a mystery! I’m tempted to retake them now but I don’t want to become a slave to a machine lol

Hi Thanks for your reply I had some homemade veggie soup for lunch & for dinner I’ve had a tuna salad with some avocado. Snack wise I had some cheese & grapes & a protein bar. I’ve just taken the dogs for brisk walk hoping they’ll come down a bit. At the very least I’m going to sleep well lol

Hi Thanks for the reply, My diet is pretty good, lots of fruit & vegetables and red meat & fish. I try to keep carbs out of my diet just because they’ve never digested well after a GB removal. This is why my levels are baffling me. I don’t even like chocolate or sweets very much so can’t even...

Hi Everyone I was diagnosed as pre diabetes in November with a Hba1c of 61 and then in Feb I get the call saying I’m type 2 and need medication. I have been prescribed Metformin which I was told to build up to 2 in the morning & 2 at night over a 3 week period. This made me constantly...
