Prem thanks for your advice re DP I am aware of it and its effect. I have reduced my carb intake to below 100 grams per day and obviously have had a result on my hba1c I am to go for a update in June . So are you saying glycogen is not a constant measurement in my liver and will reduce with...

Mandy and Prem I take my readings first thing in the morning now and only after I have perhaps eaten something new during the day. I now have a god idea of what makes me spike. Mornings are a frustration this week I have had 9.0 today, 8.6 Thursday , 7.6 Wednesday and 7.8 Tuesday and 9.1 on...

I hate to be negative but this and the other thread along the same lines strikes me as pointless and makes me feel very inadequate. I am probably not alone with this view as it would appear that only a small number of regulars post. The lowest I have ever managed was 6.9 maybe it would be more...

Let me think on I must be loosing it, I am concerned about the irregularity of the readings that I am getting especially an increase after an intake of only approximately 14 grams of carbs.

I get very odd reading or at least inconsistent and am unsure as to what is happening. My first reading of the day tends always to be high today at 5.30 am it was 8.1 mmol/l which for me is good. Then 2 hours after breakfast of a protein roll and half an advocado it was 9.8 mmol/l now 5 hours...

I started by using www.myfitnespal.com to log my food which also gave me a carb figure which I now keep well below 100 grams per day it seems to be working for me.

I am not sure what constitutes a spike in BG levels. Mine range between 6.5 mmol/l and 9.5 mmol/l is this considered a spike?

I have struggled for 15 years with type 2 watching things generally deteriorate until I discovered a low carb diet and this forum back in November. Just had my results from blood taken this week and guess what the diet works and self monitoring is a great motivator. HBa1c has gone from 68% to...

I was told by my dentist that because of my type 2 I might have issues with an implant so I went for a bridge which has proved to be great without any risks. Maybe you should discuss this with your dentist

Thanks for this the squatty potty looks interesting!!! Thanks

I am on Metformin 2 x 850 but was ok pre reducing the carbs to less than 100 gms per day. Ideally would like to have less of them but I find that almost impossible.

Thanks for this the psyllium sounds interesting I will track some down.. I eat loads of good fats advocado, olive oil I read somewhere that cheese is an issue as I seem to eat regular amounts of cheese.

I have been on a low carb diet now since November and doing well weight dropped a lot and blood sugars lower also. The problem that I am having is constipation I know its because of the high protein intake. I do eat mountains of veg and salad, and drink loads but it still leaves me struggling...

I have been monitoring my blood sugars now since November, I have also modified my diet by reducing my carb intake to 150 gms per day, as a consequence my weight has also dropped by almost a stone, which is great. My concern is that my blood sugars are still averaging 9.10 mmI/L no where near...

Many thanks for your response and your questions, my response is below, but before I respond I was diagnosed 15 years ago and have been on Metformen since last February, previous to that it was just exercise and an attempt at diet. I found that the exercise probably kept my blood sugars in...
