My HbA1c is down from 125 to 115 but I am not sure exactly what HbA1ct is? And what should I be aiming for?

Yes it is Daphne, thank you. Lowest so far have been 12.8, so not far off tonight. Currently 13.1.

I don't know what to suggest Sal, it seems you are doing everything right but with those BG levels, I really think you need to seek medical help. I am far from an expert but this was what was advised to me when my levels were so high. April 7th is a long time to wait :(, please will you call...

2 hours post food 13.4. Very pleased :D

Low carbs, high fat. I am sure somebody can explain it much better than me, but I will try. It means cutting out starchy carbs such as potatoes, bread, pasta, anything that has flour etc and replacing them with fatty products. Eating lots of meat, salad, veg, eggs and the like, and lots of...

Thank you Clive xx

That's great news, well done!

That's really high BG, just like mine were when I first posted. Have you considered LCHF as a way to get your results down? Forum members swear by it an I have seen a reduction in my BG after LC ing, not a huge amount but any reduction is better than none. Can you not see your GP beofore 7...

CDC say I need to wait 7-10 working days for an appointment, so on my 6th working day today. They didn't seem concerned at all and said they were only there to answer calls. Hopefully I will hear back from them shortly.. Also called doctors surgery for my blood results, they were busy and...

Thank you Paul.

That weight loss is fantastic, well done. Maybe your GP will try other meds. Have you seen him/her since your levels crept up? If not, please do make an appointment asap with a view to reducing your BG. You seem to be doing everything right - good diet, excercise, weight loss so that's all good.

I'm certain I need insulin Donnelly, so totally agree with you. Having read around the forums and on the internet, it's clear to me what needs to be done. Now I just need to get through to the CDC that I need something sorted and I need it sortinng asap. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask...

Thank you Donnelly, hopefully I will get some help when I chase up both my bloods and appointment with the CDC tomorrow. I am getting desperate and it's making me so sad. I wouldn't imagine that anybody treating me would put up with feeling like I do, you are right but from saying that high BG...

What's an endo Jack? There is a distinct lack of results with my tablets, on Monday they changed 160g of Gliclozide to 100g of Sitagliptin, so currently taking 2000g Metformin, 160g Gliclozide and 100g Sitagliptin. LC initally reduced my BG to the late teens from high 20's and low 30's. Now it...

I haven't injected at all yet, I am waiting to see a Community Diabetic Clinic in the hope that they will perscribe insulin as tablet medication is just not working. Yes, before LCing I was following dietry advice from the DN, small portions but plenty of carbs,. I have been LC for about 6...

I've cut bread, potatoes, biscuits, cereals etc out completely apart from having one slice of Warburtons wholmeal bread in a weak moment. Found it easier to not have them at all as opposed to changing/eating small amounts. I am eating lots of salad, meat, eggs and limiting my fruit intake.

Probably not having enough, averaging approx. 50g a day.

Hello Paul I LC and have been for about 6 weeks now, and try to HF but am somewhat lacking in the HF department.

That's a long time for it to be so high, mine has only been like this a couple of months and it's already driving me mad. i am glad you have the right medication now though. I'm going to research Lyxumia and see if it's something that could be suitable for me and put it to the CDC when I...

Kezzer, there might be something in what you say about times of meals. Having my dinner so late is obviously not agreeing with my BG, also probably need to eat breakfast earlier in the morning as always have high BG upon waking and put this down to my liver. Thank you. Having roast chicken...
