Hi, I'm Sam, I was diagnosed last year. Feel free to off load. I know how you feel, my husband and family try but sometimes I just want someone who actually knows what I'm talking about and how I'm actually feeling. Diabetes can be a lonely life x

after being so confused, I had some more bloods taken yesterday which had previously been planned and asked for my hba1c to be done again. I've just had results and it is 37. I'm now even mire confused! If the last the last one of 29 was right, it means its gone up! If not is 37 good? Couldn't...

5.6 this morning at 7.30

hi all, this sounds such a good idea. I've struggled with my weight for years! So this could be the group help I need. I lost 7.5 stone about 2 years ago but need another couple off. Since being diagnosed last October I have tried to lose some but nothing as to yet. So if its ok, I'd like to...

Hi thanks for your reply, nothing else going on apart from iron levels low and on iron tablets. They found tho out when I was in hospital. Before this no illness, never been on medication, fit and healthy!

hi it was a blood test done at Drs and sent away, results came back a few days later. Then I had appointment made to see diabetic nurse to discuss results. I do my own finger prick yes throughout day as on gliclazide, 40mg daily and they are between 4-7. And under 8.5 2hrs after meal. I'm really...

No

the 29 is a hba1c test. Finger prick test. Which I do regularly throughout the day as on gliclazide, is between 4.2 and 8, even after meals. her response has sort of disheartened me, I thought it was really good, especially from 114! What sort of figure are we aiming for? Foot has healed well...

mine was 6.7 before anything at 8am.

hi all, need some advice please. Was diagnosed with type 2 last October when I was rushed into hospital with a foot which had gone manky. Found out I was diabetic then and they think I had been for a while unknowingly. My hbac1 then was 114, on metformin and glicazide, and sitaglyptin. Bloods...

Is it me? I'm really confused. I was diagnosed in October last year and was told to go with the low fat options and reduced sugars all the way. I'm having so many different things told to me. Been on a diabetic education program and told to follow a balanced diet. No food is off limits, carry on...

Morning I was 7.1 this morning. Its really weird, I can test in middle of night and can be 5.8 but when its time to get up, I'm always higher. Never been told where I should be first thing in mornings, its all a bit confusing. Was diagnosed last October.

Hi and welcome to the group. I'm reasonably new to here as well but must say, everyone has been lovely and helpful. I am type 2 and love music, Abba, anything 80s as well as lots more.

I stood on a drawing pin back in October 2016 which got infected, was rushed into hospital for emergency surgery, went to theatre not knowing if they could save my foot, luckily they did. This was my diagnoses of type 2 diabetes. Had ni symptoms, didn't feel unwell but sugar levels were high and...

At 8.30 this morning I was 6.8. Is this good? Recently diagnosed as t2 still trying to get my head around it all, lol.
