Thank you. Some bedtime viewing for me.

7.4 @ 0750. 0.1 better than yesterday [emoji736]

Thank you. I’ll give that a good read x

These are my readings since diagnosis. I think the first few are disproportionately high as I hadn’t clocked the 2 hour rule for the first couple of days, but average does seem to be coming down. I think the assumption is it’s Type2.

Thank you. I think my DN is just very keen to support me. She can see how I’ve already improved my BG readings (through being a slave to my meter), but also knows how badly being fat makes me feel. Her motivation was to try to find a way that will help me to lose weight - quickly - but I’m not...

7.5 @ 0746. Better than yesterday [emoji736]

Thanks all. Going to keep on the LCHF for now and see what happens weight wise. I’ve not lost any weight but I haven’t put any on either

Folks, apologies for the radio silence, and once again, thank you for all of your advice. It’s so good to understand more about what T2 might mean for me longer term. To answer some of the questions: 1: HbA1c will probably be tested again at the end of Jan 2: body measurements not specifically...

8.4 @ 0754 :-/

Saw my DN yesterday. Can see my BG is coming down but even though I’ve almost completely cut out carbs since diagnosis 2 weeks ago, am hovering around 10% to 15% carbs and around 1500 calories/day, I haven’t lost any weight. Am going back in 2 weeks and she’s suggested we might need to discuss...

6.5 @ 0600. Think that’s my best yet

Ditto. I’ve barely told anyone. Getting fat shamed by my GP this morning means I’ll probably keep it to myself for quite a while longer.

I just burst into tears

He’s normally a good GP and means well, but I couldn’t function or do my job on 1 meal/day. So far the advice I’ve been getting from the forum has been far more thoughtful and effective. I’m sticking with you guys

Of course and felt qualified to say it because he was fat as a teenager and stopped eating. Used other patients who follow his advice as evidence it works, seemingly one patient has lost 9.5 stone in 12 months. He was also annoyed that the DN had given me a BG monitor.

I saw my GP this morning; first appointment since diagnosis. “Just get rid of your weight and then you won’t need any medication” he said. “Follow my diet: stop eating breakfast; stop eating lunch; eat one meal in the evening” #FatShamed

8.6 @ 0715. Annoying.
