I am T2 and manage by diet alone.. not always brilliant.. but I try my best. My last a1c was 48 and I want to A) get my levels back to normal and B) raise money for a worthwhile charity in the process. Thought out March I will be walking 10,000 steps a day to raise money for Cancer Research...

We’re only human!!!! Think most of us need some kind of balance.. well I do anyway lol

Ahh right. I’ve not started or accepted metformin as was diagnosed just as I went over from 46 to 48. Highest my Hpa1c has ever been was 51 after I gave up smoking. Hoping... I can get back to normal levels on my next test with diet alone

What were your levels on diagnoses or when you were out on them if you don’t kind me asking xx

Do you have any side effects from them? How long have you been on them?

*should

I am wondering whether I ships start metformin? If my next test is 48 or more, I probably will start it. This morning I was in the 7’s but now I am 5.2 and have been most of the day. I don’t. Know why I worry so much to be honest.. I know the next day I’m back to normal and it’s just a blip.

That’s really good! Well done! I wanna get back to 42 or under.. Are you on medication? Or diet only? I do, as a rule, do that. If I do have a treat I’ll take the dog for a longer walk or go on the treadmill but Gin and treadmills don’t mix well lol... not that I drink gin often!

Here here!!!! Yeh I try to be good most of the time but sometimes you just have to say f*** it! It’s bad enough I’ve given up cider, profiteroles and bars of chocolate! Life’s too short my friend x

Thank you and your right. For me personally, after weeks of being good I do needs night of something I fancy. Tested today and was 7.1 which is usual for me, am always High morning and first thing after quick mile jog I was 6.2. Normally spend the rest of the days in the 5’s and never higher...

Back on it today ... until next months slip no doubt lol

I use accu performa. It’s what the doctor prescribed.

Haha that’s ok, I was slightly tipsy after a few Gins and felt extremely guilty for having a treat night.. I just worry so much when my level is high but it very rarely is. It’s not been over 8.2 since Christmas so seeing a 15 then a 12 sent me a bit panicky! Mind you that test was hour after...

Thank you. A non sarcastic/judgmental answer!! Nice to know you are also human lol. I will be back to The the boring carb free diet tomorrow and feeling hungry and exercising.. I’m intrigued? What was your meal?

No I didn’t actually and I’m now out of test strips and can’t test again [emoji24] I do this every month or 2. Have a a few drinks (sugar free mixers!) and a meal of my choice and feel guilty as hell and annoyed with myself for doing so. I manage on diet alone T2 and a1c last week was 48 and...

There was.. and a large salad and red cabbage. Was a beaut.

I didn’t know why it wouldn’t be the same hence the question? Had I have known the answer I wouldn’t have asked and your right.. both are too f**ing high but after weeks of no carbs and no alcohol and no doing f**all, I need a blow out.. high readings or not. Does everyone one this forum...

It probably is a silly meal but think I’d rather die younger and enjoy myself while I can than have no life at all and live on lettuce.
