No disgust from me here at all, you have to learn how to walk before you can run. All of this is a long term journey and I know you can do this. There will be bad days and good days but as long as you keep yourself going that is the main thing. Skipping breakfast isn’t a bad thing unless you...

Thanks BB! I keep updating it don't I? I must be getting vain!

Haha! Thank you! I decided to get my hair done when I was on the way out of the office yesterday so of course I had to post it here as well. Thanks again to everyone that commented, it's nice to be able to spread some hope around to even my own family.

Hi there! It’s a great tool for resolving a lot of the metabolic issues that develop T2 in the first place in my eyes. If they talk of insulin resistance with a Keto diet it’s usually physiological and not pathological like the precursor to diabetes is and is adaptive glucose sparing. With how...

Took sitagliptin myself last year but it was with metformin instead but the thrush could be caused through the glic more than anything as it does get rid of the glucose through urine and if it's high then it'll be pushing it out. If you're still running high then you may be the wrong type or...

Thanks so much everyone, that means a lot to me and the fact I managed to bring a tear to @britishpub brought one to mine too! I'm hoping that we can get it down further, seems like he's receptive to it right now so fingers crossed it keeps on going.

Honestly I would say that you're doing pretty good already! Took me a long few months to wrestle mine down to where it is now (3.9-4.5) usually and you're well into the normal range. Usual DP comes from your liver being so used to being at that point that it will try to get you back up to it...

Problem is with this that if people are given too much freedom they fall prey to the industry manipulation against real food but at the same time I fret about the control that government may have over my choices as they are in turn manipulated. @ickihun is right though, this is a good start and...

Basically I would say to eat when you are hungry more than anything else, don't force yourself to meal timings unless you're doing some sort of fasting there. Would say that you may need to up the protein just a tad to keep within keto macros for adequate protein. Keep yourself going and the...

Welcome to the forums! Certainly would be best to get your own meter and test but it sounds like as others have said it was a false hypo which in some ways is a good thing because it shows your bloods are going back down to a better starting point than you were at before. Sometimes the tests can...

Hahaha, I do my best really! It's all we can do isn't it? I'm glad though that you have gotten a handle on it early and adjusting things to suit because it must have been such a shock. Trust me I was a beast for carbs too, just scoffing down pasta and bread like a typical millennial! Anytime...

They keep using that word, I don't think it means what they think it means...

@Macspiffing Incredible progress in such a short amount of time, I am honestly impressed!

That's the awkward way that diabetes gets us sometimes but it shows decent progress! I've had a 3.8 this morning myself, it's so all over the place but you're doing all the right things and I cannot be anything but impressed.

Cannot be anything but proud of you there, fingers crossed that you have reversed it! Make sure to keep it up and watch those numbers. The others have given you prime advice but I just wanted to say I am rooting for you and I do hope that things keep getting better for you.

As some of you know my Dad is T2 himself and he has really been listening to me and cutting out sugar and most carbs from his life, he just had his HBA1C done just now and holy moly! From 76 down to 50! I know it's basically still pre-diabetic levels but I can't help but be happy with him after...

I think you are indeed right, once the liver is used to being at that level for so long it will desperately attempt to dump stored glycogen to push the levels back up to that. It’s a good marker for metabolic health all in all due to getting rid of the dawn phenomenon it means your body is used...

If anyone is willing to swing by Hull to pick me up I would most certainly go! Hope those going have fun :cat:

You're never going to see that in any official publication, the fact the people at the top might not have our best interests in mind? Perish the thought! It makes me laugh that this is happening, finally coming around to understand that it was something else poisoning the supply than the...

I just say it like I see it and I'm truly impressed by how much you've put into this now. Now you're just teasing me with that but it's a lovely thing to say and a great emergency supply too :p
