Hello all, I'm in the same boat! Haven't looked after myself very well for the past 3 years. Had my diabetic review last week, the last one being in 2019!! My HBA1C is a shockingly 105mmol/mol. I've lost my diabetic mojo good & proper. I know where I'm going wrong, have read just about every...

Some very enviable numbers here! I'm struggling - can't seem to get mine below 10!!

Thank you. I'm determined to get some more weight off and try for even lower readings. Re. Metformin - I too have had horrendous side effects but since sticking to low carb and ditching the rubbish things have improved - but still want to be rid of them once and for all.

Thank you for taking the time to read & reply. My HBA1C last year was 57. I'm going to take the matter up with the nurse next week at my review (feet check, etc). My appointment with GP was for meds review - although he was amazed with me, things were a bit rushed!!

Massive well done! It's what we'd all like I think!! I'm still chasing such a good outcome.

Hi, I've been type 2 for 5 years with reasonable control on 4 Metformin daily. My most recent blood tests last week showed the best results ever for me. I've lost almost 3st, BMI 27, HBA1C 45 (6.3), cholesterol 3.8, much lower triglycerides and everything else normal. My GP actually said that...

8.5 for me. I always get highish readings on waking. The rest of the day's readings are usually in the 6/7 range.

7.6 which is lowish for me.

7.7 at 7am.

Hi, I'm exactly the same so I put it down to D/P. My fbs readings at 7 am are always 7.5 upwards to 11. Yet in the day they are always in the 6's. I fast from 5pm to 7.30 am and it makes no difference. I was told that the morning reading is prob the highest one of the day. It's all very puzzling!!

5.7 today.

Hi, I'm currently on week 6 of this diet. Been type 2 for 5 years on metformin 2000mg daily. When I started the diet my FBS was in the 11 and 12s. After a couple of weeks they fell to the 7s and today's was 5.6. The added bonus is that I've lost 16lbs as well, although am still 12.5 stones...

Hello from a new member. My levels are always 10+. I get very little support, just a yearly review. At this time my hba1c comes back at about 54...? 7/8. Think I've got burn out as seem to have lost my way.
