I did have it checked a year ago. I had a negative GAD test and a urine C Peptide that 2.8 ratio and 3.9nmol whatever that means. Not sure if it made a difference that the meal I ha to eat before the test was very very low carb. I had no instructions of what to eat before it. At the time my GP...

Thanks. Yes I should be due a checkup although not sure he is interested. I feel as if I’ve been abandoned by the GP. I will call to check I’m due a chat.

Thanks. But it had risen before that. Feeling really frustrated and my skin feels itchy which I assume is the higher BG.

It is almost a year since I was diagnosed with T2. I’m slim and through low carb I managed to maintain my weight but drop my Hba1c down to 36 in three months and maintain it at 36 since. I’ve had the odd short blip along the way but something has recently changed. Since the beginning of April...

Welcome! It will get better, I promise. All good advice above too. I have only told one person about my diagnosis. I am also embarrassed and feel that because I’m a slim diabetic no one will understand and be judgy. Following low carb is fashionable at the moment so that is a blessing. Good luck

Lots of Nioxin in TK Maxx and homesense at the moment @PenguinMum. Boxes if all three products. Went in today and every number available including separate bottles too.

Pepperami doesn’t need chilling. You’d get away with babybel in the winter too

2.7 after alcohol [emoji4]

I know. Just quoting the OP :)

Is that a total cholesterol of 4? That is not high. Apologies if I’ve missed something.

None

Whew! Glad I’m not the only one :)

I don’t think it says causes all diabetes but perhaps some. I just thought it was interesting concept particularly as I worked and lived in a very toxic polluted environment and am a thin diabetic. It was just a thought.

Apologies if this has been posted before. I’ve often wondered about this connection in some cases of DM, particularly where there is a higher incidence of DM due to a toxic working environment https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4991654/#!po=0.819672

I find mySugr app estimated Hba1c is higher than the lab results, well so far anyway. My meter may well read a bit high (which I like) but the last two Hba1c results have been around 4-5 less than the estimate. I test around 8 times a day.

You can do it! I find smelling things helps. My kids are really used to me asking if I can smell what they are eating. Most of the time now I sniff and think, no it does nothing for me. They say if you smell something several times your brain thinks it’s eaten it. Works for me anyway. Good luck x

@Mel dCP Is there anywhere you can buy Hotel Chocklit buttons apart from an HC shop? I’d love to try them. Thanks

If you had real flu you would know about it! You would have been bedridden for days with back pain and you wouldn’t care about anything. I was always told if you have flu and there is a £20 note in the floor you wouldn’t bother to pick it up! However a really bad cold can still make you feel...

Gin and tonic is absolutely fine as long as it is a carb free tonic. Fever Tree light has around 4 carbs so Schweppes is better. Vodka and Diet Coke is carb free. Not sure what I’d do without my alcohol treats as it’s over a year since I had anything sweet or naughty. Enjoy x

Maybe you should throw it out. If you MuST have bread (it’s an addiction that Brits seem to have) go for a low carb version like Livlife but CUT DOWN! I don’t eat foods that are pretending to be other things. I had a really good diet before but since DX I have cut as many carbs as possible. It...
