Hi all, is anyone else struggling with conflicting advice regarding diet? As a T2D I also have slightly raised cholesterol. I have made my diet as cholesterol friendly as I can, but I thought I would also try some Benecol type products with the added plant stencils. Unfortunately the only ones I...

Since diagnosis I have gradually got in to the habit of not eating until around 2.00 pm. Before then I have tea and coffee with ff milk and water, occasionally a weak squash. My blood glucose just before I ate this morning was 9.8. two hours after eating it was 6.0. i am wondering if, because I...

Yes, I think you’re right.

Hi, thanks for that. Yes, that would be my next option. I work for a reuse charity, so very much on my radar. thanks again.

Hi, Can you use an IPad for a CGM? My phone is too old . If so, which app is it? When you type in Libra to the Play Store, lots of apps come up. Thank you. Cheers Nick.

Do you mind me asking what is the voucher and how much is the low carb program? cheersNick

Hi, Is there any consensus of opinion on whether skipping a meal is a good or bad thing as a type 2? I have been having my “breakfast” at around 1.30 thinking it was a good thing as the less often you eat, the less often you are going to get a spike. I have just read, however, that missing a...

Wow, any chance of the blueberry scone recipe? What do you mean by your max carb target? Is that a daily amount in grams?

So true. Cheers.

Hi all, i‘v posted before, but here is a very brief summary of my “journey”. Diagnosed in October 2021 with an HBA1c of 118. Got that down to 43 with Metformin, diet and exercise. Had my latest results today and I’m up to 49. Not disastrous, but disappointing. I am fairly sure the reason for...

Hi All, I'm keen to try a CGM for a few weeks so I can easily check my reactions without constantly having to do finger prick tests. Has anyone found a way to do this without it costing a fortune? I'm thinking maybe two weeks to a month. Cheers Nick

Thanks for that. Really useful. Do you mind me asking what sort of things you do eat? Cheers Nick

Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed T2D in October 2021 with an A1c of 118! I'm delighted to report, that with a mix of metformin, diet and exercie, my latest A1c was 43. I have relaxed a little, but generally am low(ish) carb, exercise more, etc, etc. I have a few food related questions. If anyone...

Hi all, Has anyone found something other than cream to put in your coffee? I love cream, but can’t quite get past the fact that is probably ok in moderation but maybe not in four or five cups a day! Ive tried coffee mate, but the first ingredient is syrup. Milk is fine, but cream is so much...

Whilst I’m thinking about food. ( I seem to spend quite a lot of time doing that), Has anyone found either a decent low carb wrap, or a good recipe for one?

Hi, Does anyone allow themselves treats? Are you planning any treats at Christmas? Is it ok to have a treat? I was diagnosed as T2D in October 2021. Since then I have had virtually none of the things that with hindsight, I realise we’re my undoing! I was especially strict last Christmas, but...

Excellent, thank you.

Hi, I have just finished reading “The Great Cholesterol Myth”. Very interesting rea ding, I now realise it’s over ten years old. Does anyone know whether the info in the book has been updated? has the research been proved or disproved? The NHS still seems to be pushing the less saturated fat to...

Wow, thank you. You clearly know your stuff. I thought the numbers were a bit lacking, I’ll try and get more details. Thanks again for taking the time.

Hi, I have had my annual review today, my frst one. Dianosed T2 on October 19th 2022. A1c of 115. 12 months later, to the day, A12 43. So chuffed and so close to remission. Fingers crossed for next test. My figures were generally good, but the DN made a couple of suggestions. 1. Take a multi vit...
