Definitely go to your doctor, so you can get your hba1c done and take it from there x

Hi I havnt gone low carb...I do follow slimming world and I’m losing weight at a good rate each week.....I test my blood sugars regularly, in the morning I’m between a 4 and 5.4 mmol. I do watch the carbs but I probably eat Moderate amounts rather than low or high

Thankyou :)

I had salmon, stir fry vegetables and dried egg noodles, most would say it’s a heavy carb meal, but for some reason my blood sugars haven’t gone out of range in the past 3 weeks

Thankyou, it’s hard isn’t it, I hope you get to see the numberyou want it’s just takes time. I was diagnosed around the middle of March since then just tried my best with my diet as well as exercise. For just under 3 weeks I’ve had 4-5 readings in the morning which I’m so happy about
