Thank you so much! Best of luck with everything!

Yes after 6 days it started predicting my hbA1c. Mine was 107 on diagnosis and it is predicting 48 now, which I am pleased with after only two months. Obviously I hope to get it lower long term though, and of course, it is just an estimate. With regards to using the libre, I am not sure if you...

That is encouraging to know, thank you. I too tried the free trial and then have funded for a few more weeks as it has helped me understand my patterns so well. That is great news on your figures, I am only two months in but hoping for some reduction from 107 given that my BGs have gone from 20+...

Thank you so much, this is really useful to know. I work full time so most mornings I am walking for at least 15 mins after breakfast but I will try up it a bit. Really interesting about the protein Weetabix, that does seem to be the one that spikes it the most. I think I will avoid that for...

I usually start the day around 6-7 and it climbs up to 11-12. It usually comes back down between 2-3 hours later

Thanks that is really helpful. I do always feel so hungry in the morning, I will look at options like you mention.

Thank you very much. My hbA1c was 107, came out of nowhere so was a huge shock. I think I am understanding I need to avoid carbs completely in the morning.

Hi all, I am 2 months post diagnosis, 42f with assumed type 2, normal BMI. On Metformin and diet I have brought my BG numbers down to 5-7 90% of the time (I have a libre 2 plus which has been so helpful). However, I consistently get a spike post breakfast, regardless of what I eat. It is my only...

Thanks. I haven't been looking at the amount (g) of carbs per day as you describe, just cutting down and switching to alternative types as recommended by my DNS. I will ask my DNS about the amount to aim for and how to measure this, thanks. I have indeed been looking at the extremes and that is...

Hi all, you might have seen my previous posts, I am 42f with a BMI of 23.8 and got a diagnosis of diabetes (presumed type 2) a month ago out of the blue. I had no recognisable symptoms, but was referred due to a wound on my toe that the podiatrist felt wasn't healing well. My hbA1c came back as...

Hi all, I was diagnosed a month ago with no symptoms other than an ulcer on my toe that wasn't healing. I just got back from Greece (which was amazing) but I had to keep the wound dressed and dry the entire time, which was a concern for me as I love swimming and that is my main aim when on...

Sorry I don't know why it posted just one word! I meant to say that is amazing, well done on your progress. It is great to hear stories like that. Thank you!

That

T Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to it and all the nurses have been so great in getting me prepared! Thanks for the link. I suspected hormones have an impact!

Hi all, just wanted to update on my journey so far. As per my first post, was referred for hbA1c by the podiatrist after a toe wound wasn't healing well. I am 42f with BMI 23.8 and had no symptoms (other than the toe!). HbA1c came back at 107, retest was 105 so type 2 diabetes was diagnosed with...
