Thank you so much for your help.

Yes I found the low carb bread too. I’ve been having probably 50g total carbs a day although probably not counting some foods as there’s carbs in things I’d never have dreamed of. Carbs I thought were just pasta, rice, potatoes that sort of thing. My diet was always very carb heavy until a...

Tempted to really test it with things like bread and pizza but too scared to at the moment. Part of me still thinks I’m ok and it’s all a mistake, burying my head in the sand and all that.

Yes I’ve reduced my carbs a lot but did have ready salted crisps with my omelette at lunch time. Also had two weetabix for breakfast with semi skimmed milk and a spoonful of Demerara sugar.

Hi, sorry to ask questions again but just after someone who can please help. I was diagnosed the week before last as a new type 2 diabetic. I’m not on any meds yet until the results of my second blood test as the doctor wants to do a fasting glucose and a second HbA1c. I am checking my levels...

Thanks for your advise. So new to all this, I was really getting my hopes up.

Hi all, I was only diagnosed last Thursday as a new type 2 diabetic with a level of 80 from my HbA1c test. After the shock and crying for a few days etc I decided to go all out and help myself. I ordered a monitor it’s a gluco navii GDH. I also cut carbs and started healthy eating immediately...

Thanks, I’m hoping it was the wake up call I needed and I’m definitely feeling a bit more positive today. I too have acid reflux and indigestion. Also need to lose about 4 and a half stone. What you said is such an inspiration and I just hope it will be the same for me. Thanks so much again.

Thank you for being so positive, so glad I found this site. I’ve been eating really healthily since I found out including brown rice and whole grain bread. I know now that although better than white it won’t reduce my blood sugars in large amounts. I’m learning how to adjust now with all this...

Thank you so much, that’s great to hear. I’m definitely going to reduce carbs in fact will probably cut them out altogether just to try and get my levels down to a decent reading. I’m keeping everything crossed. My meter is in the post. All the best to you.

Thank you, so grateful I can reach out and chat with others.

Thanks. Yes I’ve read a lot about the low carbs, I’ve already adjusted my diet this weekend and am walking 5k a day, I have a dog so that helps.
