That’s really interesting thanks. Think the chart has gone over my head though

Thank you! I do test pre and 2 hour post meal. I’ve made the decision to stop taking metformin, I feel it’s doing me more harm than good. I’m going to take Berberin as a supplement instead which is proved to support anyone with T2 diabetes

Hi all, So when I check my bloods daily, my results never change from between 4-6 on average. I’ve stopped taking Metformin as it was so unpleasant. Are there other other ways to monitor my levels or can you assume that if you don’t ever spike over 6 then your HBA1c will remain low. For info-...

Hi, I was diagnosed 3 months ago, my test was 60 so quite similar. Just got my 3 month test back and it’s now 41, I’m so pleased. And that’s without removing all carbs. But I’ve give up all cakes, biscuits etc. and switched a lot of foods round. I’ve also lost 2 stone so far. It’s scary at...

Thanks, but I tried 50g and just can’t manage on it, there’s hardly anything you can eat. I don’t want to eat a whole protein diet, i need a balanced diet to support having an under active thyroid also.

Yes I’ve completely changed my diet, I restrict carbs but usually still 100g a day so not too low. But I did used to eat a lot of carbs. Completely cut sugar out. Just a small drizzle of honey and off chunk of 90% dark chocolate. Thank you for your advice Jo

Hi all, after building up the dose I have been taking 2000mg a day for the last 2 weeks. (6 weeks of meds in total) I had felt pretty awful by the time I was diagnosed, literally couldn’t get to the end of the road I was so exhausted. I was told that I would feel better straight away, but I am...

@LeafyArts thank you for your reply, it is really good to hear from someone experiencing the same, thank you. I have done the same with the higher fat/proteins to carbs. Maybe I am expecting too much too soon. It’s only been a week and half. I will definitely come have a look at the weight loss...

Hi @Pipp thanks for your reply. Yes sure, examples are:- Greek yoghurt with mixed seeds and blueberries. Eggs with wholemeal reduced sugar bread. Chicken cooked with fry light in air fryer with garlic, chilli, various vegetables and small amount of wholemeal rice. I am introducing foods such...

Hi all, I am newly diagnosed and haven’t a clue what I’m meant to be looking out for. I have adjusted my diet, dropping all sugar and low carb. I am very overweight but don’t seem to be losing anything despite logging my food and eating a healthy limit of calories. I have been testing myself...

@Rachox thank you for the information
