I too saw the Dexcom 1 plus and thought I would give it a try. I just had one fail to start properly and when removed the ‘needle’ was not there - which was a bit of concern as I couldn’t see if it was still in arm. Have had to recalibrate today when it was reading quite high compared to...

I am a type-2 diabetic now due to diet low carb/fast 800 I am in remission. Had to go private to get diagnosis because my surgery and diabetic nurse were to be honest making me feel as if I was incorrect but it started with difficulty with steps legs feeling increasingly weak and then feet...

My chiropodist and podiatrist stopped me from using the scroll battery operated rotary ‘file’ possibly because I seem to have diabetic neuropathy and it’s possible to damage my feet without realising. Recommended to use only hand tools like pumice stone or sandpaper like files - and moisturise...

I’d like it as I do Miss a nice granola

As Dr Unwin says For many people with Tyoe 2 diabetes, eating starchy carbs and sugar moderately is to be moderately poisoned…

Yep I did!!!

I wish you luck - I was at odds with the diabetic nurse and practically non existent interest from the one permanent doctor at our surgery. I have provided the letter from week 1 of the low carbohydrate program which I thought had great background info for them but suspect it’s been filed...

Sorry I am in west Wales near Carmarthen.. the closest I can get to groups is with low carbohydrate program - Zoom calls - have only just joined and need to take advantage of these calls..

Yes even before joining the low carbohydrate program - I had started reading about wheat grains oils that are liquid at room temperature and based on corn etc. And went cold turkey on breads etc. started adopting a Keto approach and reversed my hbA1c to pre diabetic values very very quickly...

I have to agree - since joining the low carbohydrate program - my belief that unless you measure - how are you going to know what your body is reacting to etc. I am ‘in type-2 remission’ as my hb1ac is 44 with the boundary being 48. But after years of being told I have was pre-diabetic and the...
