Thank you everyone. I feel in a better place now

Thanks for this. Much appreciated

Thanks Melgar. You really have to be prepared when you speak to the nurse! Thank you for this and I'll read up before my appt.

I've not and have my appt with the nurse in about 2 weeks so will mention this. Thank you for the advice, much appreciated

Thanks lakeslover. This is the type of feedback I was looking for. Kind of serious and not to be taken lightly, so will do plenty of research now.

Hi, I'm looking to hear from people's experiences and what to expect. I've been t2 for 2 years and had it under control. Over the last few months this has crept up and during September it never dropped below 12. My diet is very good, bmi 21 and exercise regularly so no reason for the increase...

Hi, nice one for posting. Sometimes its not easy to raise sensitive subjects. Talk to your doctor etc. If you're concerned, but same thing happened to me and after talking to others and research this is common. Basically I left things alone and after several weeks went back to normal. This has...

Same here with muscle loss, so i do feel for you as we do have to take care not to push our bodies. I lost 55 pounds in 3 weeks and a further 30 over the next year. I have to work to keep my weight stable, so target about 170g of protein a day mainly through chicken, low sugar protein bar, and...

Hi, I'm the same with t2 and dont drink. I'll have 2 or 3 non alcoholic beers a month and only check on the shelves if low sugar. As I have so few, I dont worry about the carbs or anything else. Fits into my diet without any stress as to me that defeats the point of a beer in kicking off and...

I've never tried keto, so I'll add this to my next shop to try. One good thing if you can say that, is diabetes does encourage you to try new foods. Many thanks

I did have 2 slices of melon [emoji56]. My normal fruits each day are 2 slices of melon and 3 strawberries, which I've found works for me and keeps me in tolerance

Ooh, I like that one and one I can try and test and see if I can find a suitable level. Thank you

Hi All, Kind of went overboard on eating strawberries and peaked at 16 today. Never been so high, period. Usually, I only have 3 small but had about 8 larger today, so it serves me right. It got me thinking and thought I'd reach out to you about your experiences with fruit and how you manage...

For me I was in hospital at the time and had a cold patch on my leg, then started drinking about 3 litres of water a day after leaving. Something didnt feel right so spoke to my GP who arranged blood tests. If in doubt contact your GP.

Hi, I have type 2 and consistently 6 to 7 blood sugars since diagnosed in January this year. I noticed my near sight was getting slightly worse so eyesight test at vision express. Only thing is that by the time my glasses are ready my far sight has changed. 3 times now in 2 months. Has anyone...
