Jo - thank you so much. I needed this!

Morning. I have just had my initial appointment following diagnosis and have been told that I will never come off Metformin and my doses will increase for the rest of my life. Now I know some of you are in remission so I assume that you no longer take any medication? Maybe I’m wrong?

No I’m not eating low carb and my glucose is 4.2 at the moment

What level of Ketones is bad and what should I do to lower? Just tested and blood ketones are 0.9. Thanks

Thoughts on continuous glucose monitoring? I’m on medication, haven’t been confirmed whether T1 or 2 yet

Hi everyone. Does anyone else experience feelings of nausea after eating and taking meds? I can’t decipher if it’s the Metformin or gliclazide… I have been on these meds for 5 weeks now and haven’t had any issues other than some initial stomach upset but the nausea has started over the past...

6.1

Had a bit of an accidental binge today - feeling so guilty [emoji1361]

I had my second hba1c after 4 weeks like mentioned. It has gone down from 138 to 101

Well done! What was your score 6 months ago if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi, I’m in a similar position at the moment - what did your GAD results show?

What sort of diet works for you? I understand we can all react to certain foods differently!

Mine was 138 when diagnosed

I was eating takeaways, processed food and sugary snacks previously. I have now added more fruit, veg and whole foods with very limited added sugar

It was based on my ketone levels
