My head is boggled yes! I have never bought spinach in my life, i have done weight watchers for 30yrs on and off so my head is totally in the low fat mindset, its going to be such a task to change that, i am wide awake at this ridiculous hour with my tummy rumbling!!

Eating full fat will take some getting used to!

Oh I am just fed up already! Cut potatoes, bread and pasta grrr I love all those things, it all just seems a ball ache. I dont really do recipes I like easy lol. I have already lost 10lb in a few weeks, before finding I was diabetic, just hate the thought of having to miss out on my carbs, I can...

My gp finally rang to tell me i am type 2, she said its likely more hereditary as my diet is pretty good, not perfect by all means, anyway i was off out to the mexican tonight with a friend and nearly cancelled as i am so fed up with it all already and worried about what to eat.

Why be so rude mike?

I got my 2nd fasting results today a week after the first ones, my fasting glucose was still 6.3. (I have had higher ones at home in a morning) my hb1ac was 53 this time (51 last week), was surprised they did another so soon. So my fasting glucose shows pre diabetes but the hb1ac shows type 2...

U cant cure diabetes! If ur pancreas isnt working as it should then it never will, u can control the sugars of course which is what u have done but u cannot cure the diabetes!!!

As a practice nurse i usually ask people to do 7 days of readings at home, 2 readings in a morning and 2 in the evening, we then add them up and do an average, usually they are a lot lower at home and this gives us a more realistic reading

I think the weight watchers No Count is better for diabetics, minimal carbs but plenty of healthier foods, i am likely type 2 with a cholestrol of 6.8, repeat bloods tomoz but i know my fasting was 7.5 this morning so am expecting it after the next bloods.mthink gp has to have two readings...

Thankyou mike, yes i got the call 2 days later and repeat fasting bloods tomorrow, my fasting blood sugar this morning was 7.5, 1.5hrs post meal was 11.3 yest then 9.7 2hrs post meal
