Indeed - I’ve started to read it to get back in the right headspace

Hello folks, So I’m a year into my T2 journey and started out really well reducing my HBA1C from 58 to 39 and 43 within a year. I’m due to go back in 2 months but I definitely know that bad habits have been creeping back. It was the 8 week BSD that worked for me the first time round, so...

Heh Rachox - so yes the fasting blood sugar was done at the surgery, I’m averaging around 5.9 at home first thing, so 6.1 is fair - I have heard that FSB is the last to change so I’m not so concerned about that. I think the initial diagnosis was a blessing in disguise as I’m now taking steps...

So just got my latest result down from 56 to 39. Not only was I over the moon, my doctor was very impressed. Total cholesterol slightly up but ratio is the best he has seen. I’m proud of this achievement but know that I have to keep it up. FSB was 6.1 - does this still sound quite high ?

Inspirational - a great achievement

I was definitely surprised that my levels stayed above 8 for a disproportionate (in my opinion) amount of time - will work to get things back on track and not be so complacent going forwards

Thanks Guzzler, yeah I know I’ve been able to control it before so getting back to sorting it before it gets outta hand

Hi friends, I’ve been struggling the last few weeks after a pretty successful 8 weeks post T2 diagnosis. Started off with a slice of bread here and there and quickly snowballed. I’ve noticed my bloods over the past few days are hovering around 8 a few hours after eating. I’m starting back...

Interesting thread, I went to see my doc yesterday, the first time since diagnosis. I took with me a printout of averages over the past month almost expecting a pat on the back. In fact I was told off for taking readings saying it was not what I was told to do. Naturally I will continue but...

Love it, thanks for the inspiration

We are similar on HBA1C petal, I’m at 58. After 3 months, the MySugr app predicts 5.4, which translates to a non diabetic level. You can do this

Thanks for the insight folks, darn I thought this was my magical cure [emoji846]

Hmmm - so after a stressful day and with the sun shining down, I went for a few (3) beers after work - first alcoholic drink in 3 months since diagnosis Coupled this with 3 sausages and a salad when I got home and thought better do a blood test. Very surprised to see a reading of 4.3...

Heh Will, I’ve just completed the BSD, well followed it loosely, more principles based - there’s a FB group which you may want to join, lots of friendly folk in there. I’m looking to do it again, properly this time and I found the principles has definitely helped my sugars. I lost just over a...

Wow - thanks for the insight, will read up on this and what you say makes perfect sense. I’m definitely back on low carb for a while to give my body a break and will remember this the next time I look to introduce some carbs back. Also thanks for the advice on the OGTT, don’t want docs to...
