Thanks, thats helpful. I'll check it out !

I eat very little carbs. Yoghurt with 3 brambles, 4 walnuts for breakfast. No lunch. Supper is usually home made vegetable soup then more yoghurt. I became so nauseous with long Covid. I've lost around 30 pounds since September when my partner announced he wanted someone with different...

Hi Until I got Long Covid last year, I managed my type 2 with diet only but it went haywire. I was put on Metformin, initially 2 then 3 per day (two in evening, one in morning) but the diarrhoea became impossible to live with, including accidents whilst awake. That prompted my GP to suggest...

Took BS on waking, was 8.7, just took it just now, its 5.5, no breakfast or lunch as I'm trying to move back to OMAD but stuck at 16:8 so if I want to continue, how can I take meds if they have to be taken with food ?

Sadly I have to work from my car as I'm a field interviewer. I'll try to discuss it and think being retested after3 months 8s a good idea.

My diet went to hell for a couple of years, cream éclairs etc, but since March have really stopped carbs, just took a 2 hours after lunch, it was 6.1. The head GP who I'm supposed to speak to is not a listener.

Hi My HbA1c was tested 31 March at 82, 2018 it was 65 prior to that it was 45. Since I have cut carbs out massively but GP wants me on medication. I work from my car so toilets are few and far between, sometimes never finding one all day, so having gastric urgency terrifies me. What would you...

Today was 9.2 before breakfast and 7.9 two hours later.

OK, I know this isnt brilliant but think it is a wee bit better. Took BG when I woke and it was 9.1 (it was 11.1 a few days ago) and two hours after having yogurt with a teaspoon of fruit it was 8.3. Thank you for all the links, other half is studying them today with me so we can change things up.

Gosh thank you all your lovely people. I have spoken to my OH and he made me a lovely big salad with pulled pork for dinner. He said he will work on changing our diet and I will take your other advice on board. I was wondering if I might be getting the liver dump I have read about in here...

I was diagnosed with T2 roughly 10 years ago. Since then for most of the time I managed to keep my FBG in the under 6 but it has been steadily creeping up and since the beginning of the year it has been hovering between 9 and at its worst 11.1 a couple of days ago. I have a Freestyle tester...

Hi I am type 2, dont test very often, but did this morning as I was aware of feeling thirsty. When I do test every few weeks, my fasting level is normally around 6.2, but this morning it was 7.4 Now I know lots of people would love it to be 7.4 but should I be concerned ? I am not on any...

:lol: well my mum was a great baker, rubbish cook and being Scottish if it isnt stodgy it cant be good was how I learned about food. Oh that and how to make Royal Icing using a knife on a plate... I said at the time it was pointless and some 40 years later... never made it far less using a...

Looked at IME-DC which seems to have quite cheap testing strips. But is what you are saying, call the companies and ask them for cost of selling the testing strips directly to me or did you mean, call them, see if they will send a meter, then buy the strips elsewhere. What do you do about...

Thanks Luna, my thyroid is hyper... very unusual for someone my size apparently, bloody typical I get all the symptoms and look more like a whole forest than a twig. I am so glad the internet is here, I will speak to my GP who is usually very nice. I am sure he wont be too happy to hear how...
