Hello @LINMARIE . My nurse gave me the following stats this morning 42-47 is on the edge of diabetes, below this figure is considered what a person without diabetes may register. I have really been quite strict and have only had one 'treat' of Naan bread and Rice with a Curry, I spiked at 13 on...

Hello you lovely lot! Just received the fantastic news my HbA1c is now 42 (cue the Hitchhiker's jokes, for those of a certain age)- down from 61 six months ago. My Diabetic Nurse has taken me off all my medication - this turnaround is thanks to the many forum members who passed on excellent...

Hello all. Hope you're all well, just wanted to pass on my recent experiences to hopefully help some other members, newcomers especially. I am now medication free (bar atorvastatin, need to shift that, time will help) and am diet controlled. My average morning fast figures are 5.4 or there...

I was diagnosed with Covid on Sunday, went for a test after losing my sense of smell and taste. A week or so prior to this I had small spikes after eating my normal diet - readings going up to 8.2. Now I've got the lurgy, my average for the last seven days is 5.6 - I've had great fasting...

As Jo says, lay off the carbs, You will see a difference quickly. Plenty of good, friendly advice on here. I've managed to turn my 18 year diagnosed T2 managed by pills and injections to looking at remission in a few months time by eating well and kicking the carbs out. Eat proteins and fats...

Folks.. My sincere apologies for not replying sooner, life, work and a 40 foot mast for my Ham Radio antenna has kept me busy... Thanks for all the info, I am settling into a 16/8 fast/meals sort of thing at the moment and it is going well. Fasts are reading 5.0-5.3, Post prands are 1.5 above...

Again, the issue is time. Some days my shifts can be 0330-0500 starts. But hey, it's all about the pre-planning and getting things right. I do enjoy my cheesy egg muffins in a morning!!

Need some input from you lovely lot, please. I've been reading quite a bit on here of late and notice that several of the more active members mention fasting for 14 hours or there about, am I right in the way I'm reading this? The other thing I've read is not eating too late - I'm trying to...

Bloomin' well done you @Buster_ ! A very inspirational post, onwards and upwards...

Alright @kevsta from another Kev. Blimey, your nurse sounds like she needs to go back to Stalag 19 for a refresher course in PR or read Dale Carnegie's book, 'How to win friends and influence people'... I can only speak for myself and what has worked for me - and it is all down to the lovely...

Yes, had fasted, triglycerides attached

Full lipid, can’t get to the results at the moment though

My GP was happy with my results and thanked me for taking the steps I had so far. As for being referred to the ‘Low Carb Program’ he wasn’t too keen on that and has asked me to try a 12 week weight-loss program. Let’s see what that brings.

Morning, Boggle. Thanks so much for this info. I’d read similar elsewhere on the forum and your post backs it up. I have really changed my lifestyle and was hoping for some ‘magic’ numbers. I’d asked my GP to be referred to the Low Carb program and it was he who asked me to carry out another...
