Hi there, I was diagnosed in April last year with an HbA1c of 107. I was put on Metformin and given a lot of information and sent away to let it all sink in. As daunting and shocking as it all was at first, I did plenty of reading (this place was a life saver) and by a mixture of easily...

I agree with many others here in saying the first thing to realise is that you didn't give yourself diabetes. I was diagnosed in April 23 while having routine tests, with an HbA1c of 107. A so-called poster boy of health for a man in his early 50s, I was 6 feet tall, slim at 12 1/2 stone, toned...

It isn't bragging. It's a welcome success story. I was diagnosed in the last week of April this year with a reading of 107. Had my follow-up test the first week of September, and I'm now at 32. A 65-point drop in 18 weeks....and I'm so glad I came across this place. I am far from being the...

Ignoring that you're raining on my parade by posting an even more impressive set of numbers than mine ([emoji16][emoji13]), I find that to be so poor from your GP. You've done amazingly well in such a short space of time. My GP was so encouraging in his call. I worked a decade as a counsellor...

I was diagnosed during the last week of April this year following a routine medical exam. On the day, finger prick tests of 104 and 105 were recorded. The following day, I was sent for emergency bloods, and a few days later diabetes was confirmed with an HbA1c reading of 107. My follow-up HbA1c...

Hi there, I'm now on week 11 of taking Metformin, and the question I'd ask in return is what noticeable effect you're hoping it will have? For example, Metformin alone isn't going to make that big a difference to your daily blood sugar levels/readings... Even after months, let alone days. My...

Hi there, I recently stopped posting my daily fasting bs here because, EVERY single morning, no matter what, my reading is somewhere between 4.0 - 4.5. My reading 2 hours after eating is almost always between 0.5 - 1.5 higher than whatever my morning fasting reading was. I was diagnosed only...

4.6 this morning [emoji559] Wishing all a good day [emoji106][emoji120]

4.5 this morning [emoji559] Off out on my morning walk now (Praise be to Audible [emoji16][emoji120]) Have a good day [emoji16]

4.5 this morning [emoji559] Hope everyone has a good day [emoji120][emoji106]

4.8 for me this morning [emoji559]

Chips! Now that WOULD be a dream [emoji38][emoji1648]

Hmm... I don't want to be the one who starts to lead people astray [emoji38][emoji38]

Still got a stinking head cold that left me with less than 2 hours of sleep last night. However, I got a reading of 5.1 this morning, which I'm delighted with. I didn't post yesterday. Reading then was 4.5. A small point of interest; on Wednesday, I had my first potato in the five weeks since...

5.1 this morning [emoji559] Have a great day, everyone [emoji108][emoji106][emoji120]
