I was told was diabetic in Sept 2017 when hb1c was 50 so followed Dr Mosley diet and after 8 weeks was down to 40 and cured! Since then tried to be "good" but allowed carbs to creep back in and last Autumn was back to 50. Have since been trying hard but got very confused over porridge. Always hated it but having been convinced it was good for me I persevered eating it only to find that some say it is bad for you. So decided to use a monitor to see what it did to me. Monitor came yesterday and after eating well all day I got readings 2hrs (and over following 2 hrs) after eating of 18,20.19 and 17. So I tried on some friends as I thought I must be doing it wrong and theirs were 5.1 and 4.9. I took mine again first thing in the morning and it was 12.7. I am now really upset and disappointed and am intending to be brutal about cutting out all carbs. I am struggling to find out just how bad my results are and what I can hope for. Any advice would be welcome.
