Amazing achievement, well done! I have lost weight on low carb but not getting my numbers down. I would be interested to hear what your daily diet consists of. As for family my mum doesn't understand and I have to just say, this way of eating works for me. If I eat the stuff you cook I will be...

its important to finger prick because thats how you work out what foods suit you. They tell us not too. I didnt and my numbers went high. If I had been testing I would have realised and taken action

I had antibiotics for an infection and got highs of 17. I drank water, walked etc and it came down to 11. Sress makes it worse so try not to worry toomuch. If in doubt speak to her GP

Hi, How did you manage to reverse yours?

I Have IBS and find low carb can cause issues if you are not eating the right type of fibre. I sprinkle flax seeds on to yoghurt in a morning, drink plenty of water, eat plenty of green leafy veg, include pulses and nuts in my diet. If you look on you tube you can find videos showing you...

10 which is good for me atm but too high. I get the dawn phenomenon

Yohgurt and blueberries with flax seed salad with prawns, avocado, lambs lettuce, cucumber, celery, artichoke, tomato, olives.

Gluco Navii is very good, the starter kit contains everything you need and the strips etc are fairly reasonable compared to some others. I was told on diagnosis in 2018 not to test as not necessary for type 2s and NICE recommendations are that it isnt necessary therefore not readily available on...

Can I ask what you eat for fibre. I struggle with that part of it. The dietician I spoke to said include whole grain sourdough bread, brown rice,oats and potatoes occasionally but to me that conflicts with the low carb way of eating

84 was my highest but I suspect next one will be higher! I managed to go from 84 to 47 in 3 months but lately its been running high again

The best advice I was given was to eat fruit straight after a meal or with a meal as this can mitigate a spike. Never eat on its own as a snack. My dietician reminds me its low carb not no carb but choose healthy carbs, small portions and not every day. My cholesterol is high despite me...

I get sweats that start on my face and can drip down esp at night time. As you say can start after eating . I dont know if it is diabetes related or not

I am not good in hot weather either, I find my sleep is poor, my BG is elevated and I seem unable to control my body temperature

I am type 2 and was diagnosed at 55 and also not twice as heavy as I should be! Found that quite insulting as it makes it sound as if all type 2s are overweight. Like you lots of type 2 s in the family and by no means are most of them over weight. I ate pizza with a side salad. The Glucose...

My GP always rings back and I get my blood test done very quickly. Keep nagging them about it and don't give up
