If you've been having regular tests then it should be in it's early stages, so successful treatment is possible as far as I know. I'm waiting for results myself and its an anxious time.

Whilst high blood glucose is bad for health in the long run, it's not quite as hazardous as becoming hooked on a highly-addictive opioid painkiller.

Have you received any results from your blood tests so far?

Pros - great for diabetes management Cons - not great if you really enjoy pizza, chocolate, beer...etc

I can totally sympathise. Whereas some people are able to stick to LCHF for life, others (including myself) find it difficult. If I can get to the point where I can manage my BGS with around 100g of carbs per day, exercise and medication, then I would consider that more sustainable than keto...

7.5 for me.

6.7 for me too. DN told me to get under 7 for fasting and under 10 after meals so I’m pleased with progress but not going to get complacent.

Just got a 5.9 after a 2 mile walk! Had to retest because I couldn’t believe it. Woke up to 17.5 on Friday. Low carb is amazing.

I'm in a similar boat and I find posting on the 'what is your fasting blood test' threads invaluable. It motivates me to eat well so I can post improved results each day and hopefully get back under control.

10.9 today. Didn’t go over 10 at all yesterday so mildly disappointing but it’s very early days.

9.9 this morning.

Thank you! Feeling much more positive thanks. Only four days in but I’m sticking to it and I’m seeing readings in single figures. Lowest so far 8.2.

Morning all. 9.2 today. Into single figures.

10.8 this morning.
