5.9 this morning

I carb around 50 g per day have taken my medications down to just trulicity and metformin, stopped glic about 2 days ago. I only fast by skipping a meal when not hungry. I’ve also lost 30 lbs and stopped all hypertensive medication. This has taken 10 weeks with support of diabetic nurse. Hba1c...

Veg and salad, not root,meats cheeses nuts,stir fries, cream. My portions are a lot smaller and I don’t get as hungry as I used to. Have also tried fasting and only eating when I’m hungry. Loads of ideas from low carb threads

6.2 this morning

I’m on it but on other medication as well. My weight has certainly gone up but I don’t know if this was reason why. I’m still on glic and doing low carb diet with support of diabetic nurse. The weight is coming off and my meds have been reduced. Perhaps worth a try? My carbs are around 50g most...

Thank you. I’m seeing diabetic nurse again this evening and have access to wee sticks anyway. I’ve not had any hypos since low carbing 4 is as low as blood sugars have got and hypers have now stopped over last 2 weeks. For some reason she didn’t want me to come off that one yet. Just tested to...

Sadly she’s giving it up and finishes on 31/8 to a job outside nhs. She’s had my hba1c done today because she wants to know what effect the low carbing had before she goes.

Love the sound of that

Have you tried asking for one from surgery if in uk. My nurse reckons that if self testing reduces need for medication then it’s a cheaper option for the surgery, wise lady with a bit of foresight!

I don’t have neuropathy but did have a serious back problem that stopped me walking very far. I’ve been low carbing with support of diabetic nurse. Back pain has nearly resolved chiropractor I saw every 4 weeks has never felt my back so loose to such an extent I might be able to stop going soon...

I use an app on my phone my sugr that I can record my before and after blood sugars and I can also write down what I’ve eaten including carbs. To calculate carbs I just ask on my iPad how many are in certain foods. It’s given me a good idea on where my diabetes is going. I only use basic program...

We’re you on any medications? I’m interested as I’m trying to follow the same path but am only about 7 weeks in of low carbing. I assumed I’ll always be diabetic even if I hit remission and would need to control carb intake perhaps to a lesser extent. My diabetic nurse advised balanced diet mind...

I’ve been on it for a while now. I’m low carbing as well for the last 7 weeks or so. Most of my meds halved like gliclizide metformin relatively new addition kept at one tablet per day and I’ve been advised to keep going with trulicity. I have bouts of very loose stool with very little warning...

I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with insulin and luckily am able to eat more than once a day. I don’t know where you live but people in our area are able to access food without being in receipt of benefits. Is it worth you having a discussion with someone like social worker even that...
