Hello and welcome x x x

You would think, wouldn't you that in the light of such success and the obvious logic of restricting carbs to improve health, that some professional eyes might be opened. Is it cynical of me to think they may well be trying to keep us within diabetic range so that they can still prescribe meds...

Geat reply - thank you so much! I saw my DN yesterday and told her about my new diet LCHF regime and she was all for it, which surprised me somewhat! I have my desmond day tomorrow and am interested to see how they react!

Hi, @britishpub. Thank you for your input. I suppose it's just a question of carrying on and waiting for the medical professionals to give me some answers. I'm concerned about taking meds though. Don't want to do that if I can avoind it.

What does everyone do to keep blood pressure under control? I'm having to monitor mine in advance of my first ever review and it is slightly elevated. I've read up on how to use diet and life style to reduce blood pressure and, short of eating low-fat produce (which I don't want to do) I can't...

Fasting blood sugar was 5.1 this morning and yesterday's nosh was as follows: breakfast: 2 fried eggs, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes fried in butter. Coffee with double ream lunch: 2 egg tortilla with broccoli and cheddar, salad leaves dinner: 2 heck sausages, steamed courgette and asparagus...

5.1 this morning. More concerned with my BP which is a little high :arghh:

I will x

Thank you everyone - good to know you're all on my side :happy: x x x

I've just been told tht my HBa1C at diagnosis (November 2018) was 95!!! Seems I have some work to do! Repeat bloods next Wednesday and am hoping there will be a significant improvement! @Rachox - I have the form required to register on line - thank you again.

Do you? I would though - might be some interesting information and it's always good to do a bit of networking.

Thank you @Rachox - I shall do that this afternoon xx

4.6 this morning. Yesterday was a relatively lazy day 'arting' at uni so not muh exercise other than to the brain.. breakfast: yoghurt with berries and bran. Coffee with double cream 10:30: coffee with semi skimmed milk lunch: smoked mackerel salad (cherry toms, red pepper and lambs lettuce)...

It's on a web site? My GP didn't explain what hba1c was let alone give me the result. How do I find this website please? EDIT: Oops - just noticed that you're in Australia and I'm on the other side of the globe, so your web sit won't work for me :cat:

4.6 at 7 o'clock this morning (and later today I start a week of blood pressure monitoring in advance of my first follow up appointment :nailbiting:).

Try to think of it as a percentage. 23g per 100g is 23% which is nearly one quarter.

Good morning to you too - have a beautiful day x x x

Welcome to the forum. I was diagnosed last November and found this site January time. It's packed with sound advice and some lovely fellow T2s to lean on in times of need. This is now my go-to place rather than face book! Use it - follow threads, ask questions - and if you don't already have...

5.1 today after a bad night's sleep :chicken:

4.8 this morning at 7am. Peace and love to all - have a beautiful day xxx
