    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Everyone’s bg seems to be in the normal range. I had hba1c results 2 weeks ago and it was 106!! I’ve been low carbing and done a week of 500mg metformin and am now starting week 2 of 1000mg. My fasting bg has come down from 13.3 to 11.6 in a week but is still very high. I can’t go Keto as I...

    Metformin efficacy

    My hba1c was 106 but the article I read said 1.5 to 2% reduction which equates to a max reduction of 2, so down yo 104 or am I getting this wrong?

    Metformin efficacy

    I’ve just read that metformin only reduces hba1c by 1.5 to 2%. Is that right?? Surely it’s hardly worth taking it

    Can't seem to stop eating

    I know exactly how you feel. My story is very similar however I have a lot of weight to lose and it's just going up at the moment. I dint seem to have control of my eating at all.

    Type 2 A bit lost!

    Thanks for taking the time to reply Maggie! Good diary is a good idea and yes I am fasting and so maybe it isn't right for me and portion sizes are too big!! I have been so good for nearly a year and just can't be strict anymore when I've lost faith! But will try a different approach

    Type 2 A bit lost!

    I've been mostly low carbing for over a year and dropped 2 stone and reduced hba1c from 49 to 38 with no meds. Thrn weight loss stopped, I got kidney stones and my hair started falling out so I eased off the diet for a while. I've now been back on it for 4 weeks along with weekday 16:8 fasting...

    A bit of a personal question?

    Thanks, bicarb is alkaline and helps to neutralise the acidity caused by ketones. Some people evidently use apple cider vinegar as well. What is diabetes insipidus?

    A bit of a personal question?

    I have been on the LCHF diet now for 3 weeks and it's all going well however i have been having cystitis type gripes in my bladder for the last few days. i have been drinking loads and having a bit of bicarb, as i know this neutralises acid! But it feels like my bladder is inflamed and i know...

    Newly diagnosed and scared!

    You're too right Brock. I have done a lot research in the past few weeks and we can beat this with diet and excercise. The LCHF diet along with fasting is dropping 1lb a day and my BG levels are well within target. Thats after just 2.5 weeks and so have faith!! I almost feel a tinge of...
