6.5% is really quite high (average 7.8mmol/l, UK equivalent 48). I am around that point after just two and a half months of low carbing from an...

Have I messed up here? (Going too fast?)

Have I messed up here? (Going too fast?)

No, in fact I'm going to the toilet less and experiencing little thirst. I am probably going to be dragged into hospital here aren't I?

As some of you will know about three months ago I was diagnosed with T2, my hba1c was 114. Since then I have lost three stone, my blood sugars...

That's a very good idea actually, next time this happens I will grab a block of cheese or make myself an omelette or something, thanks!

T2: Does anyone have experience of leg pain/tingling

Oddly, I have found that I get tingles in the feet when my blood glucose level is at its lowest (in the 7s now) - when it's at the highest level...

Thoughts on the sd code free?

I'm not entirely convinced the GlucoNavii is all that accurate either. All my meters (the GN, a couple of different types of Sinocare, Glucorx...

Feeling sad and confused and anxious

If the numbers are truly averaging 7 then you should (after this average remains for a few months) get an A1c below diabetic level. But it all...

No that's 9.7% (confirmed through multiple sources including app, academic website cited above and a chart present on this website). 8.7% is...
