Hi I've just had my hba1c chhecked and it's gone up to 68. Does anyone know if the Dr would put me on insulin for this level

I've just done the after bloods after my evening meal and I think I understand now. It was 6.8 before and 7.3 after. Thank you everyone for your input. It all makes sense now. I just need to tackle my love of bread and potatoes and replace them with something else

Thank you everyone for your help today. I've bought a monitor and tried it out at lunch. I was 6.8 before then 10.5 after. I know what carbs I had so have reduced them for my evening meal. Hopefully my after meal test will be better. I now have a better idea of what I'm doing.

Ok. Thanks. I've just checked the prices so will go get one today. The machines aren't too badly priced but the strips are a bit pricey

I suspected that was the case as I have checked into it and it is expensive. But because she hasn't gone through it with me I'm not sure when or how often I need to do it

Unfortunately I'm unable to check my bloods as my diabetic nurse has told me not to do it. I am confused by this as most of the diabetic people I know all check their blood. Maybe I should ignore her and get a monitor myself.

Not sure as I'm a bit of a fussy eater to add to the problem. The only time I've had avocado is guacamole and I liked that but I don't like olives however I see what you mean about fat that isn't saturated. I'll check the link you sent. I've had a look before but didn't have time to study it...

Hi bulkbiker It is the saturated fats I struggle with. My problem is my bile system isn't working properly and therefore my liver isn't able to process toxins properly. And saturated fat is the worst offender

Thank you. I've seen a dietician and got nowhere. I was just told to use the eatwell plate.

Hi. Can anyone help me. Is there a version of the LCHF diet that doesn't have a lot of fat in it. I am type 2 and my hba1c is 58. My diabetic nurse says if I go over this I will have to take medication however I have an autoimmune disease called PBC which affects my liver and would be unable to...

Hi My name is Wendy and I've just joined the forum. I'm new to this and not sure what I'm doing. I need some advice as I've been diagnosed for about a year. I'm not sure what my blood levels are as the diabetic nurse said I shouldn't test it. I'm overweight and don't know what type of diet to...
