Hi There, I had a recent HBa1c test and was shocked to find that my blood sugar levels had gone up to 45. The last time I was tested was pre lockdown and it was 38 back in Oct 2019. I put the figure into the HbA1c Units Converter- DCCT to IFCC and was surprised to read that it said my blood...

Iam not sure about that. I have been told that roasting sweet potatoe increases the sugar, while steaming them reduces it ! So maybe its a simular mechanim. But do not quote me on it.

Thanks for this I will look in to this ! I want to expand my diet ! John

Myabe a 1 week fast ?

My latest Hba1c is up 2 points to 38. I am so not happy about this. I am thinking of going on an extended fast under medical supervision. Has anyone else done this and what were the results ?

My latest HBa1c test is in . It is up from 36 to 38. I am so not happy about it. I need to double down on my diet and fasting.

I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes back in October 2017. I believe I had been undiagnosed for years. My Hba1c. test was 65. I had constant memory lapses, brain fog, a thumb infection that would not go away after 2 lots of antibiotics. I thought I had dementia. I was also about 17 1/2 stone. I...

I have just experimented with my diet. I made pastry using chick pea flour, olive oil and water. I filled it with spinach, fried onions, fetta and tomatoes. I have never made pastry with chick pea flour before and am hoping that it will not raise my blood sugar too much ! Does any one else use...

My latest Hba1c results in November 2019 were down from 39 to 36 which is really good. I am going to have another test this month. I was lax with my eating habits over Christmas so I am a bit nervous about the result. Thanks for all the ideas as well. I am planning to do better with my diet and...

Fruit can really boost your blood sugar levels. Wheat Bread can be very boosting of insulin levels and can hurt you. So I don't agree with that. Are Keto diets really dangerous ? I am not sure about that. Re diets and children, the NHS still recommend Low Calorie low fat, and those are really...

I am on a low carb vegetarian diet. I have substituted celeriac and squash for potatoes. Also I would echo the warning about NHS dietitians. I got criticised by my one for not eating enough carbs. She also tried to tell to to reduce my fat intake, However I ignored this advice and my HBa1c...

Have you tried low carb diet and fasting ? From what i have learned insulin makes things worse for T2 diabetes and prevents weight loss. Low carb and fasting - Lower insulin levels - lower insulin resistance and greater fat burning capacity. I was 17/12 stone and I am now down to 14 stone 4...

Get an Hba1c test from your Doctor asap

Hi there. I had much lower Hba1C of 65. (October 2017) I reduced it and my latest test is 36. Normal is 41-47. I am wondering if you have type 2 diabetes ? I controlled what I eat and when I eat. And I went on a low carb diet (not a low fat low calorie ) and Intermittent fasting ( no food...

My blood sugars went up to 39 in July 2019. I doubled down on Intermittent Fasting, cut my fruit and porridge, and got it down to 36 !

You look athletic ! Hope you are doing OK

The foot pain is reduced but very troubling. The doctor said that It was probably due to nerve damage and it may or may not reverse.

I think that it is very individual. I had memory lapses and brain fog when my HBa1c levels were 65. They have reversed when my blood sugar levels went down to 40 through diet alone.
