Hi Sometime! That hot/cold, pins and nerves feeling is both from Nerve complications and the B12 deficiency you now have. Very irritating and I am so happy that it has not affected your feet yet. The reason for this is that it is easier to check your hands than feet for Ulcers, sores, etc. You...

Hi there! Are you co-incidentally also taking a Statin or a Diuretic? If you are then please do let me know? Important side effects have just been released which I unfortunately can't share yet, but could be pertinent in your case. Good luck, Vern T2,female, 54 years young. Sent from the...

Hi! Why don't you try a small serving of Rolled Oats? It's a medium Low GI food supposedly known for its Glucose Control attributes. It has a lot of Fibre that is essential in a Diabetic Diet. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi there! I think that after reading your post you must be seriously confused! Ok - in context. Type 2 is typically an age/lifestyle control condition. Note that I do not say disease, it's merely a condition. At your numbers you appear to be Type 1. It is also a condition and YOU need to control...

Hi there! I am a type 2 and can advise on this issue as I routinely LowCarb at under 40gr a day. At your BG readings of 9 there is absolutely no need to go the Insulin route yet. I too lost a huge amount of weight as I was not portioning my proteins and fat correctly. The recommended Diabetic...

Hi Rob, I live in Botswana where summer is **** hot and winter is bone chilling cold! My BG is totally different from season to season. In summer I get Hypo's and winter slightly higher than normal. However that being said I never forget to low carb as I am a type 2. I have found Cinnamon to be...

Hi there. Just a quick chirp. I low carb under 50mgs a day. It was hard at first but now I am so used to it that I don't even bat an eyelid. My BG has gone from 7.8 (fasting) and 11.2 (Post Prandial) to 3.9 and 5.1 respectively. I am not using any meds but am hoping to control this with low carb...

I agree with Sid. Like I said -it's a lifestyle not a death sentence. Take what Doctors have told you but take control of your life! It's yours after all, not the Doctors. They diagnose your condition, you manage it. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi Lee! I keep my carbs under 50g a day by doing the following. Eliminate all breads, rice, white starch. For eg. Breakfast for me is a small Apple and a piece of Fish, you could use nuts or Cheese. Lunch I have a "free veggie" and Chicken Soup, you could add Chickpeas instead of Chicken...

Come on Green Tea! You are a Diabetic, it's not a death sentence and you need to live your life. I control my diet very strictly and drink Wine at night - BG stable under 7. I don't enjoy sweet things at all so cannot comment on that but let your common sense prevail. Do not let anybody talk you...

I too find that by having a glass (or 2) of dry white wine in the evening really lowers BG. Very helpful for me as in the evenings mine tend to be higher than mornings. Still under 7 but thus far wine with Dinner really helps. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi and welcome! I am appalled at the VERY sudden diagnosis you have received. Your first reading at 8 was not terribly high and this should have been explained to you. What had you eaten just before? Dietary changes are ALWAYS your first attack. Your subsequent readings indicate normal blood...

Hi there! I too have noticed a huge spike if I consume any carbs like Bread, potato, sweet potato etc. I am keeping my BG under 7 by eating veggies, protein, fat and very limited Fruit. Please do not test so often? I find that doing pre meal and 2 hour postprandial is a great way of keeping...
