Been a type 2 diabetic for 40 years at least. Dad was type 1, and it seems to follow in the family. Anyway, being a bit of a lazy and don't care too much sort of person, I have taken the medicine, and many ice creams etc all of that time. So far so good, nothing has dropped off, and ,mostly...

Thanks...:)

What is White Coat??

Suddenly, I can't get my mmol's below 10. I am using a Freestyle Libre 2 blood sugar monitor, which I have used regularly in the past. I have checked its reading against the finger pricking monitor, and it confirmed the Libres reading. From past usage, my readings seem sky-high, in the top...

And after several days, B/S is down in the 8's. No oats for breakfast is doing the trick. And very low carbs... Over Christmas, my kids hosted me for Christmas diners, and I found that a meat and veg meal only slightly raised the B/S. This Libre thingy is really showing me the way to reduce...

Thanks for that info. I guess it's just time then, along with a good diet...:) I have just got the Libre monitor, and it is an eye-opener as to what various foods do to you. I have, for years, eaten either porridge or a very low sugar muesli. I can see that this really rockets the B/S levels...

Have the same situation. I have not eaten anything for 15 hours, and the levels are still high (12.9) Levels ALWAYS rise in the morning, despite not eating anything at all.

Thanks for the advice...I should do, but always afraid of criticism at the medics...

Thanks for your reply Kenny, I am only readings bout the condition. One of the possible causes is alcohol, and linked with Diabetes, not a good recipe. I am trying to reduce the Alc, and have some degree of success. A curse of a drug if taken by it...:(

Many thanks...:)

I am feeling numbness in my fingers, especially felt in the show with warm water, Not particularly noticeable during the daytime. If this is indeed my type 2 Diabetes, thus nerve damage, is it reversible with better diet control? At present, first thing in the morning my readings are around...

8.0 this morning..:(

8.6 this morning, the highest for several weeks...:( Good news is that I have shed 10 lbs over the last 6 weeks..:)

A disappointing 8.4 this morning. Suspect a sour cream and muesli late last night was the culprit. That's off the menu now...:)

5.9 this morning. first time in the 5's ever..:)
