Awesome[emoji106]. Well done, you should be chuffed

I was diagnosed with type 2 in June with a score of 66mmol weighing 125 kg. Was prescribed 1 x 500 mg metformin. First bloods since and I'm down to 41mmol and 110 kg. I have agreed with nurse to stop metformin and be tested again in January. If all is well I can stay off the tablets. I've not...

I've been rating this 'bread' from Sainsbury's. It's alright http://www.hi-lo-bread.co.uk/ 15.6g of carb per 100g. I guess it's how low are you trying to be.

Seen the dr, agreed to stop metformin but have blood test in 3 months to check. Fingers crossed.

I had a lot of weight to lose and still more to go. I changed my lifestyle overnight so not too concerned by that. I'm more worried by the recent bouts. I hope it's because I don't need the metformin anymore. I'll try to see the doc ASAP though. Thanks

Hi, I've been on 1x500mg metformin tablet a day since June. Started fine but have recently had 2 x10 day bouts of diahorrea. I've lost 2 1/2 stone in that time and been a lot more active. My bloods have dropped from 66mmol to 41mmol Any suggestions what's going on or why I'm having these bouts?

I dropped from 66mmol to 41mmol!!!! So chuffed

Thanks. I could always do with losing more. I want to be under 100 kg by Christmas. I did have the two tests when first diagnosed. I was wandering if is possible to be a spike at the time. Never mind. Going to see the gp in a couple of weeks to discuss.

I was diagnosed with t2 back to n June with a level of 66mmol. Weighed 125 kg. Have since taken up the LCHF diet with carbs around 100-120 g a day. Exercise a couple of days a week. 1 x metformin a day. Had my 3 month blood test and had a blood reading of 41mmol. Now weigh 112kg. What do i do...

Having my first 3 month check up. Hoping for good things although very anxious. Cut carbs from whatever they were to an average of 105g a day. Lost 2 stone. 1 metformin a day, swimming twice a week, gym and table tennis instead of sitting on my backside. Fingers crossed. I've put the eye test...

Awesome work.

I was diagnosised with type 2 at the end of May and so far lost 10 kg. changed diet (semi LCHF) and started exercising a couple of days a week. Started really well but after 3 weeks my energy levels plummeted - absolutely shattered all the time, really short temper. Seem to have ridden that out...

Sounds about right. I won't expect too much from my first appointment.

Thanks everyone. Some good stuff here. I guess the NHS diet is going to be opposite of low carbs/high fat. I'm just a little confused on that front at the moment. Started today reducing carbs to 135g to start. How you do 40/50g I have no idea. Well done

hi, This forum looks great! Recently got diagnosed with type 2 and waiting for my first clinc appointment. It's given me a tick up the backside to change. So far cut down on sugar, carbs and started exercising for the first time in 20 odd years. Feeling positive although confused on foods at...
