Yes I still have! I will try that thank you

Thank you.. I will update ...

Hi, I have a nexus rx glucose monitor and I have NOT kept the test strips sealed in the container. Do you think this will have been giving me a false (higher) reading? They are in date. As I have been alarmed at my readings recently and now I have bought a new tub and will be keeping these...

Thank you

Hi, I am most definately low carbing, and I am also now taking reading pre and post meals. Along with low carbs (less than 40g per day) I do not eat until 1pm or 2pm 5 days a week. Consequently over the past 18 months I have lost 6kgs...and my blood sugar levels are 8.4 am and 8.2pm...so as you...

Hey....Thats good info....I will get it done privately...do you know where? What do I search for on the net? Any idea of prices?

Yes thank you... I have been recording what I eat and taking lots of blood measurements and will see if the GP will take notice this time.. It's a learning curve and I suspect I have had insulin resistance for a good number of years prior to it becoming more noticeable as diabetes.... But to...

OK. .. thats useful information, I have been low carbing for over a year and have lost 11kg....had to eat rice and noodles in Vietnam but did cycle for 5 hours a day for 5 days per week with 2 x rest days..for 4 weeks in total (1300km) suppose therefore that I could have been diabetic for a...

Update: doctor has come back with 'you are due a blood test once a year, your next one is due December 2020!!

Thank you for that wisdom.

OMG..Yesterday's carb intake was less than 50g....the thought of, and I have tried it once or twice to go to 20g is alarming!!! Thanks for your response though....Oh heavens above

Thank you... I have requested a blood test from the doctor via the receptionist but I didnt know about this c peptide test. I only asked for AC1. They may refuse as they only have a test which says I am midly pre diabetic, they are not able to take on board that I started my low carb journey...

Hi, I have been diagnosed as pre diabetes BUT prior to my Hbac1 test I had been on a low carb diet for 6 months purely for weight loss. By chance a friend of mine has a gluocose meter so out of curiosity we tested out bloods in the morning. Well, blow me down with a feather my bloods were...

Thank you, I will go back and request AC1 again. I am not on any meds and my tricyclerides reduced dramatically as soon as I began cutting the carbs that the doctor didn't mention statins this time!!!

Oh yes I totally agree...I so miss the carbs!! In fact I love eating carbs...but as you say there is a choice to be made and I would prefer to live longer... 20g a day...my word well done. It really is a big effort to have only 20g of carbs a day. Keep going....and thank you for your reply
