The QoF uses a points system and the cash value of the points changes every year. Of course practices want to achieve the targets and of course patients will be encouraged to do the things needed. That's essential to the system - that was what it was designed to achieve.

On a total of only 41 individuals split into three groups? With no blinding? With no control of what else they ate? Not all that scientific. Google will show there are lots of similar published papers claiming the same thing. And many others claiming the reverse. The issue the OP asked about...

Hi and welcome. We can't tell you the answer - you need to see your doc. I had quite a lot of water retention and oedema when my BG was abnormal, but what I had is no guide at all to what you have. Get it checked.

Attaching a graph that shows the distribution of HbA1c in a non-diabetic population. Most people are around 37/38. Obviously your result depends on your medications, but it should mean that you won't be getting any high BG complications.

Nobody on this forum is competent to diagnose. I'd consult my doctor. Nothing you describe sounds like any diabetic symptom I've experienced.

I've never taken any medication related to T2.

I'm not sure I'd go along with those figures, which are a bit lacking in context. For a start, they're referring to one-off fingerprick readings where you may not be able to establish exactly why your BG is where it is. BG will vary with the amount of carb recently eaten, but also following...

My facebook feed has been full of fake accounts - ie sockpuppets pretending they're real people - advertising this stuff today. It just underlines my resolve never to take anything I read on facebook in any way seriously. I can't see how this stuff would work. It sounds to me like another one...

Hi and welcome. I'd strongly suggest having a read-around on this forum, including older threads. It's worth having a look at the "Success Stories" section where you'll see what's worked for various people. One thing I wish someone had told me at the outset is that "most of what you think you...

When you quote these figures, are you talking about mmol/l or percentages? If you're reading things on the internet, many US people simply quote a figure of "6" without any understanding that they mean an HbA1c of 6%, not a fingerprick BG reading of 6 mmol/l, and that most of the rest of the...

Hi and welcome back. You seem to be fully aware that eating carbs, and the resulting elevated blood glucose, are the main problem in managing high blood glucose levels. You've got a choice to make. Either manage through carb reduction, or take the path of eating carbs and using increasing...

People report different things. My BGs are low to begin with but tend to be substantially lower in warmer (>30c) weather. I have no idea whether that's because of the heat in itself or because my behaviour and eating changes. Most of my evidence comes from abroad....I probably drink more...
