Most people take their fasting BG as soon as the get out of bed. What does your Libre read as soon as you sit...

My BG would be sky high if I ate that many carbs. I love porridge but sadly daren't risk it anymore :arghh:

Finally 5.8mmol/l at 7:30am. It’s been in the 8s and 9s since my operation last July and I’ve put all my weight back on :( Still not pain free so really fed up.

I’m not worried about my cholesterol :) Every six months the doctor offers me a statin and I politely tell him where he can put it! :D

I googled it for a simplified explanation and this is what came up: An A1C test can show your average glucose level for the past three months because: Glucose sticks to hemoglobin for as long as the red blood cells are alive. Red blood cells live about three months. Hope this helps

I’m on 1000mg twice a day and still take one in the morning with my coffee and one in the evening. Please don’t stop taking it but seek advice from you health practitioner. Have you got a blood glucose monitor? I strongly advise you get one and then you’ll be able to be guided as to what you can...

Hi @NanaCynth I take farxiga (dapagliflozin) for diabetes and haven’t experienced worsening depression after taking it although I do suffer with anxiety which is connected to my inattentive adhd, but it hasn’t got worse with taking farxiga. I have done a bit of research and found that eating a...

When I first started dapagliflozin I thought it meant I could forget keeping my carb intake low and eat what I wanted but U-oh I got thrush just days after starting the medication. As @Antje77 says it gets rid of the excess glucose in your system by peeing it out so taking this type of...

Low carb and low fat isn’t a good idea. How low carb are you going? The idea is you have to replace the carbs with healthy fat to keep you from feeling hungry and so you don’t go into a low calorie mode as this will mess your hormones and metabolism up, (saturated fat doesn’t raise your BG and...
