Hi Lauren Welcome to the forum Have a read through Daisy's post in the greetings section. With you having insulin you count the carbs and have the medication to match. Some people find this absolutely fine as it doesnt affect their way of life too much (from a food point of view). Others...

Welcome Wez It's going to be a difficult time at first for you all. A T1 will be along soon with regards to your insulin question . It's understandabe your son will be feeling withdrawn and less talkative. His life as he knows it is changing. Diagnosis prompts all the feelings of any...

Wouldn't worry about it John, work on each last read and what you ate at that meal. the rest will take care of itself over time you could keep your own record and work your averages out til it clears. Mary x

Hi louise A tip - dont think of this as a diet. It's so not! On a diet you can fall off the wagon - I know I've done it all my life! This is a new way of eating for life because your body cannot process carbohydrates in the way it used to be able to. You really can't afford to fall off the...

hi pokalong2012 Welcome to the forum Have a look at daisy's info for new people , yu can see it above. It;s not just about sugar. It's about carbs as well. If you don't have a Blood glucose testing meter I strongly suggest you get one. That's the only way you can know how you react to...

Hi Sallybear If you are indeed T2 at least you can now get cracking on getting your own numbers down. Look at daisy's post to new members, get testing and recording and sod the bloody GP. Your condition and you can do it. Mary x

Hi Kerry Not an essay - a mere short note! Just a point on the metformin, if it's not agreeing with you. Ask for the slow release version, some people get on with it better, the normal one is well known for causing shall we say 'stomach discomfort' Mary x

hi lilia I felt exactly as you and the others have said. Now, i actually feel sorry for the people out there who don't know about low carbing. especially diabetics but also over weight people who could easily change their lives for the better. I was a dieter all my life , i was so good at...

Hi bns Not a doctor but to me those reads are a bit on the high side I don't know what the GTT reads are meant to be but the 2 hours after food should be <8.5 according to NICE. below 11 is not a good guide to use, as that is too high. I'm assuming you're going back to gp to discuss the...
