Thanks MBaker. I don't know about Dr Richard Bernstein but I can see that there are some vidoes of interviews with him so I will watch a few over the next few days. In terms of your preferences: 1. Without running, I'm averaging 17,000 or so a day at the moment. 2. 2x hard resistance...

A quick update. I got my Hb1A1C test result today - 40.9mmol/mol. This is just below the 42mmol/mol point for the start of the prediabetes range shown here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html So that is good news. But I've found some other sites that suggest that 39mmol/mol is...

Thanks Finzi. I didn't realise that it gave an estimate of Hb1A1C. I've checked and it says 38mmol/mol (5.6%) and that's in the normal range. However, I'd guess this is a bit on the low side as I was trying to eat low carb for the first week of wearing it. The second Boots test kit came...

Just a quick update. Boots sent the HbA1c kit and I returned it the same day. I still haven't had my results so I messaged Boots and the lab hadn't received it so they are sending me a new kit. I found the Post Office receipt for the Tracked 24 Hour delivery and looked online and it said that...

Thanks Dark Horse. I think I have some diabetes symptons and my glucose on waking up was 7.7 mmol/L on Saturday. So that suggests diabetes based on the bit you quoted. Then after changing what I eat so that it is low carb, it was 6.0 the next day (so not diabetes based on the bit you quoted)...

Thanks MrsA2. It definitely costs too much, and it definitely makes me feel thirsty. But it is so nice and I don't fancy headaches just as I'm trying to adjust my eating. In terms of the prostate, thanks for giving me something extra to worry about. Looking at the NHS website, I can see that...

Thanks Dr Snoddy. Fortunately the Pepsi Max has no sugar but getting off the caffeine isn't going to be fun. My plan at the moment is to concentrate more on the food side (i.e. low carb) now and (i) drink more water / squash in the meantime, and (ii) go cold turkey (with paracetamol!) in the...

Thanks Ian. That's a good idea. I looked at a couple of pages on the web that I found and can see what you mean. These were: 1. https://lilynicholsrdn.com/cgm-experiment-non-diabetic-continuous-glucose-monitor/ 2...

Thanks Ian. I've now spent a bit of time trying to find out what "normal" is and I've found an article that suggests that blood glucose levels go up by 8.0 ± 1.1 mmol/L (when type 2 people eat some mango). It also goes on to say that after two hours the increase was 1.8 ± 0.5 mmol/L. So I now...

My bad. It was 5.6 before eating, after one hour it was 12.8 and after two hours it was 6.2.

Thanks bulkbiker. It would have been nice to get an HbA1c test before. I've just done a bit of googling and I can see that Boots sell one and so I will order one of those in a second. I actually used to like exercise and so this is a good excuse to bring it back to my life.

Yes, I agree that my BMI is too high. Hopefully, I'll get into the normal range in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks. They are: Friday (half day from noon onwards): Av=7.2 mmol/L (5.1 to 12.8), 66 measurements Saturday: Av=6.7 mmol/L (5.1 to 8.8), 124 measurements Sunday: Av=5.9 mmol/L (4.8 to 7.8), 109 measurements In terms of response to food with little experience, I'm not really sure. On the...

Hello, I've spent a lot of time going through this forum and have found a lot of useful information on it. I've also been very impressed about how friendly and helpful everyone seems to be. My question is really around whether I'm diabetic, prediabetic or not. I've not been to the GP yet...
