I have a very similar pattern to you diagnosed last April with peripheral neuropathy at diagnosis, used Gliclazide (sulfonylurea) to reduce BG quickly then reduced drug in steps and stopped in August. I still get foot heat/cold/tingling but not as often. I understand that because the...

Isn't it is really curious how hot water affects our BG differently; I am (now) unmedicated lifestyle/diet controlled type 2 but have had some big spikes after baths in the past.... I have always preferred a cold swim than a very hot shower or bath but never used a sauna/spa so no experience...

I haven't read all the replies but I was diagnosed last April as Type 2 confirmed after lots of checks though twice your age. I am also veggie for 30 years. I took up running and light weights got myself up to half marathon. Also cut out all sweetened things pasta rice & bread (except occasional...

thank you for definition as I have not been in the category I should butt out of this thread and for the people who only eat animal products they might add a bit of rainbow veg to brighten up their life! just for a new experience - shortens life in the loo for a start - good luck

ok it is so different for each of us and things may not be same for me a few months or years later, best of luck. :-)

my goodness you sound like you may need more rest between exercise [a serious point] - no mention of eggs, nuts and seeds [chia seed, linseed, sunflower, pumpkin etc and nuts and nut butters] are the only things you haven't mentioned in your diet - everything else seems to be a perfect...

what is metabolic syndrome? is this a term for insulin resistance? in my short but so far successful experience intense exercise [running and weights] and a modest carb and relatively high protein and fat intake to get some calories to do the exercise is the best solution. I sympathise with...

I found your recipe when looking for a cake to make for this Christmas 2019 - interesting that you consider the low fat and low nut content to be healthy as a no longer medicated, 2 stone lighter, Type 2 D I am advised to eat a low carb diet and like you in 2010, will be running, cycling and...

105 I was diagnosed with in April of this year but I was normal on last test but my diet isn't remotely the same and exercise is absolutely key. I would say sleep too but I realise that young-uns don't allow that! Get down to lidl or another cheap store and buy several bags of nuts and seeds and...

I don't bother much because I find people like to counter speak against everything that has worked for me. I only came on today because I filled the survey that came by email. I was diagnosed type 2 in April 2019 and they don't have 2019 in the drop down menu and it makes me cross - irrationally...

I do not want to eat a carnivorous diet and reduced my blood sugar with nut seed oil and veg diet. If I am hungry it is usually because my glucose is low. I do exercise a lot and if I am feeling an urge to nibble it will be nuts followed by weights (just light repeats) cuppa or apple cider...

I am not medically trained but 3 immediate family members are doctors. My family also has a medical history of high cholesterol on one side and aneurysms on the other [even the marathon running doctor who uses cholesterol lowering medication] so I take care of my cholesterol and LDL keeping them...

Pre-diabetes can be treated using the 8 week 800kCal a day diet - Dr Michael Moseley. It is an 8 week diet which is meant to reset your resistance to insulin. You have the early warning to permanently change diet and lifestyle. I didn't so my sugary snacking has come home to roost. Mine...

Ok some fair points. However for me, and we are all different, I have lost 8kg since April 15th 2019 [diagnosis day] and am now able to run up to 5 miles. I have started smallish weights to build muscle and that seems to be fine. I am concerned about eating animal fat to keep my cholesterol...

Nuts! Nuts and seeds I meant to mention before along with the pulses. Oh that was meant for cana never mind!!

If you exercise every time you feel hungry and have a glass of water you can kick the snack habit. Fatty meat such as chipolatas and burgers do not satisfy hunger for very long. Try moving over to sugar free beans and a whole range of pulses [peas, chick peas and kidney beans etc] for your...

tried to reply but doing strange things - replace your carbs with various veg; try free from range of pastas too; lentils, other pulses are great. watch out for sweet fruit as can spike sugar; avoid ordinary bread learn to like rye bread or make things with alternative flour. Also bulgur wheat...

changing eating habits for life is the key - if you don't no diet will ever work

Read Dr Michael Moseley and Dr Claire Bailey's book which explains all about how to protect from muscle wasting on v low cal diets and reduce liver stores of fat that can up blood glucose too easily. Hard exercise [the HIT method] is also recommended. You would be surprised how the human body...

Well eddie 'single 07' , I am a newly diagnosed middle-aged woman diabetic and my symptoms are T2 but not finished being checked for other type/causes. I was 67kg at diagnosis and after 5 weeks of slashed nearly sugar free diet, I am 63kg [a bit less on the vet scales this morning!]. I am on...
