    Metformin, good or bad?

    Apart from the comedy diarrhoea it randomly gives me I flipping love it. Saved my life. Got my a1c from 120 to 50.

    Non-diabetics telling me how easy it is!

    Yes non diabetics need to take a medicine that randomly turns your bum into some kind of high pressure fire appliance. Like it wanted to do to me the other day when there was no toilet for 40 miles. Metformin I love/hate you. I also hate the people that offer me a faffing sandwich. I...

    Nobody Prepared Me For The Mental Side Of A Type 2 Diagnosis

    I found having glucose spikes and swings made me feel upset, moody, grumpy. A bit of sensible eating, getting good sleep and taking meds will stabilise me and help stuff the diabetes into the cupboard under the stairs. I totally freaked out when I got diagnosed, at the time I just ignored it...

    ‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

    A little snack later on is OK, I find it helps me with the dawn rebound. It tells my liver to leave the fat where it is and not make glucose to give me a nasty fasting glucose spike in the am. A snack is a little thing, not half a tin of celebrations like I seem to be eating. God I love chocolate

    Recently diagnosed and feeling deflated after first nurse appointment...

    Hi, I was diagnosed 3 years ago with an a1c of 120. I didn't take it seriously and in January I was told my high glucose has given me atrial ventricular disease. So I went on a low carb diet and went to the gym. I dropped from 110kg to 85kg. I also garden hard, chopping firewood, digging as...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I used to heat my home with heating oil, however since it's doubled in price, I now heat it with wood. I get seasoned tree trunks and cut them into blocks each day for about an hour. My type2 has been forced into remission, I can now eat for Britain and I am finding my BG is now too low...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    Just tested 2 hours after Sunday dinner, and it was 4.5mmol. weird. So I ate 2 mini milky ways out of the celebrations tin and snuck a spare leftover roasty out the fridge. Should bring it up a bit.

    Does work-place sigma to diabetes exist?

    I got the same. Apparently demanding salad and fruit and even no carbs when the Sodexo work meeting lunch arrives annoys some people. Stuff them, I will be down the front at an Idles gig whilst they need a cane to get the the bathroom.

    Found out I am most likely diabetic in a very bad way

    I got the horribles with type2. Fungal infection, erectile dysfunction, eyesight just went blurred, heart ventricular disease. Sorting myself out, i.e. eating properly, not boozing so much, going to gym., it seems to mostly be OK apart from freezing cold hands and feet, eyesight blurred So...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    It was 6.7 because I was up too late, normally it's 5.5. staying up late and eating chocolate are major vices I cannot stop !

    HBA1C results

    I had 120 now it's 55 and I like that way.

    Just depressed with it all

    55 is a nice one, I had 120 when I was diagnosed. I was getting fungus growing on me

    I got really fed up with diabetes, so here’s what I did.

    I got really fed up with Diabetes. My diabetic nurse said my sky high glucose and off the scale HBA1c was ok for "somebody like me". I kept my tongue in my head. I decided to take matters into my own hands. Diabetes is actually a scandal, count me out. I am very worried about my blood...
