Brilliant news. I can join you today as I just got my last set of results back. We use mmol/l and my last results are 5.4mmol/l, about 31 mmol/mol using an online calculator, a slight drop from 5.8 (about 34 mmol/mol) last time around, 7 (42) back in December and sky-high on diagnosis last...

Give it a go and see. I went wheat free for a year many years ago, nothing to do with diabetes, just an experiment, and did make flat breads and flat-bread pizza using gram flour. Just don't expect your pizza to taste like pizza. On that basis, maybe give some of those other flours mentioned...

Interesting reading @Chris24Main We may have an answer to the fuzzy headedness after a short stay in the local hospital. Seems that my BP drops a tad when I go from sitting to standing and takes a wee bit longer to rebalance than it ought. I now have some medication to deal with that...

Thanks AB, Not a runner, but a cyclist. I'll certainly take a look for sure. I've struggled with long bike rides on strict Keto, especially where there has been a lot of hard climbing involved. Steady tempo rides aren't too bad but anything that needs prolonged hard effort has tended to...

I agree...hence the random sampling. I suspect I'll be a bit like you have described; unusual meals and regular, but much less, stabbing!

Thanks for the reply Melgar.

Currently in a happy place and thought I'd share the joy :) . After a diagnosis in mid-October, that had BG sky high and cholesterol at 7.8, a big improvement at the end of November with A1C at 8.7 (high but sharply trending in the right direction) and cholesterol at 4.5 (ditto), the full...

Thanks for the response Melgar. Whatever the cause of the wobbles, things have calmed down in the last couple of days. BG now seems to be fairly steady at around 5.0 during the day, with slight bell-curves after meals but nothing 'high and spikey'. The dizzy spells have, at present anyway...

Thanks for all the responses folks. Apologies for not responding to all. Either my tablet, or more likely user-error, occasionally goes rogue when posting replies. I'm not talking about going full out carbs, just needing to make sure I can fully function. I've certainly seen a wee kick down in...

Those numbers are what you are looking for really so well done :) even the 4.2 isn’t yet in hypo territory, that starts at 3.9. As a T2 on diet only myself personally I wouldn’t treat a 4.2, I can be very near that often before my evening meal. Feeling wobbly especially when out isn’t nice...

I am prepared to man the barricades for a good coffee

Hi, thanks for commenting. Last 2 months-ish, I've generally been mid 5s pre meals, low 6s 2 hours after Wonky tends to kick in about 4.2. I'm not sure exactly where I was on first wobble yesterday. I was in Tesco so just grabbed some of what was in the trolley and explained myself at the...

Hi folks, I'm a few months into this now but still figuring things out. I'm wondering if my current situation has been experienced by others on the forum. After 4 months of being mixed low carb / keto, this past week has been day after day of battling to avoid low BG and mild hypo type...

Absolute result on your Hba1c. Big high fives and all of that. I'd say keeping on keeping on sounds like the best bet for your eyes in the long run too.

Hi Wheels. I've no answers for you here as I'm trying to get my head around managing BG levels during intensive training too. I, equally, have no idea as I've only been diagnosed for about 4 months or so. I was actually on here today browsing on the subject of workout/training related BG dips...
