Thank OV, that's very useful to know. I love your avatar, there are some wonderful grumpy cats around. Cats don't even need a grumpy face to tell you how it is. I always knew when my cat used to turn his back in me and if he ruffled his fur while his back was turned to me then I knew I'd...

Thanks everyone. Amazing results for you both TooManyCrisps and British Pub. Bet you feel really pleased with yourselves. It is so satisfying to get your blood sugar reduced. I don't think of myself as 'cured' either - I'm sure I'm only 'cured' as long as I don't go back to my former carb...

I've got mine reduced to 38mmol /5.6% and I'm now no longer considered to be T2. I'm obviously not going to start eating the sort of carbs and food that got me to being T2 in the first place but by staying on a LCHF and exercising every day will my HbA1c go down further? I've noticed on here...

I've just - reversed / halted / gone into remission from T2 (mine was steroid induced but I was already prediabetic so it didn't take much to push me over) after following a LCHF diet and I definitely wouldn't ever want to eat any of the stuff I used to eat. There used to be a saying at...

Oats / oat bran etc - well any grain products really even the 'good' grains - are a major problem for me too. I was thinking 'oatcake' until the poster said she had had a glass of full sugar lemonade.

Hi Scoop, I've got exactly the same problem., I was diagnosed at the end of November/ December. My T2 was caused by me taking a three month course of Prednisolone for arthritis. My diet was ok on the surface because for some reason when I started the prednisolone I went off junk food, chocolate...

My T2 is thought to have been caused by a three month course of prednisolone I was taking for inflammatory arthritis, so 'they' are hoping it will go away now I've stopped the steroids. I also have high blood pressure, IBS, Graves Disease and was taking part in a pre diabetes study at the time...

Hi Mike, When I was tested in November 2014 when I started the study I was 6.2%, in November 2015 I was 6.7% and I was summoned to see the diabetes nurse mod December. I worried a bit about how I was going to know if I was improving then I bought my blood glucose meter and started testing on...

Thanks for that Geoffers, I'm certainly determined to take control. I'm glad it is ok to 'eat to the meter' I was beginning to wonder if that was ok. I hate to image where I'd be if I stuck to the 'carbs with every meal' advice - unfortunately even 'healthy' carbs seem to do it for me...

i was diagnosed with T2 in early December. I was taking part in a pre diabetes study so I know I definitely wasn't diabetic a year before that. They think I was tipped over the edge by a course of steroids I was given for my inflammatory arthritis. I went totally GF when I started the steroids...
