    Complications

    I think you'd be very unlucky to be experiencing diabetic neuropathy with those sorts of numbers.

    GP not sending medical exemption certificate

    I was told to fill out a form and I never got round to it. Then last time I went to get my medicine from the chemist, the prescription had 'excempt' written on it and therefore I didn't pay. I wonder if we're now in the same boat!

    Binge eating sugar

    It's a vicious cycle. You comfort eat carbs, then you feel awful and tired because your blood sugar is high, so you eat even more carbs, go into denial and go off the rails. I've been through this cycle about 3 times and you have my sympathy.

    Very high BG level shot up in a year!

    I've been in a similar boat my friend. I found that low-carb eating is so effective, that it's tempting to let it lapse and think "I'll go back on it when I'm feeling less stressed, or busy, or after this holiday etc" then before you know it the old A1C is back in triple figures. Well done for...

    HbA1c 106mmol/mol

    Very easily unfortunately. If I eat anything close to a 'normal' diet my A1C sails over 100, meds or not.

    Type 2 height or duration of a spike - what do you prefer?

    There is so little difference between a short spike of 8 and a slightly longer spike of 7 that it isn't even worth worrying about in my opinion.

    Eating out

    Nando's is your friend! Half a chicken with broccoli and halloumi is my go-to.

    Diabetic Review

    Thanks guys. Only 10 days in to the new diet, and I managed to register a 4.9 yesterday after walking home from work into a massive headwind! Fasting bloods are still in the 8-10 range, but it's a marathon not a sprint.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    8.5 today. Steadily coming down.

    Libre for sport not diabetes

    If CGM use increases among the general population, it will only help drive down the cost for everybody, including diabetics. It's all good really.

    Happy!

    Just had a look and it seems a bit 'hardcore' for me, but I'm glad it's working wonders for you.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    10.1 - proving a bit stubborn! Still we continue and remember it's a marathon not a sprint. Good day all!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    10.7 this morning. Going to go very low carb for a few days and see if I can get that down.
