I've been away form the forum for a while and have come back since Covid-19 to get some advice. People are posting on here because they are genuinely frightened about there health and life. You may not agree with that but some of the threads have turned a bit sarcastic with the replies and it...

I agree. People aren't listening to the advice but I think it will be towards the end of the week.

All diabetics have been advised to practice strict social distancing not isolation. No difference between T1 and T2.

Not that I've heard. They advised anybody who required a flu jab to apply social distancing but nothing else.

I did read somewhere on here on a link that 35% of Italians who have died were diabetic. I don't know whether they had other conditions as well which is likely.

I do this but use light in colour and taste olive oil

Sainsburys was only this morning on the email.

One of the British males from the cruise ship in Japan has now died. I don't know if it was the same man who had T2.

If it had been closer at the 2 hour mark I would have but the question of whether or not I was in remission/reversed had been answered at that point and I had a mouth like Ghandi's sandal :/

The results are in ... Fasting: 5.9 15 mins: 10.3 30 mins: 11.3 45 mins: 11.8 1:00: 13.2 1:15: 15.8 1:30: 14.2 1:45: 13.5 2:00: 10.4 Am disappointed but at least now I know and can carry on controlling it the way I have been. I am more than ready to ditch all the carbs as...

Tomorrow morning around 9am :)

3rd and final day of 150g of carbs today and tested 5.0 this morning which is a lot better than yesterday!

I lost 6 1/2 stone steadily but fairly easily then over the last year 2 stone has crept back on. I've got rid of one but the other one is not for shifting!

I don't know if this is of any interest but thought I would write about my experience doing the Rapilose test. I've been thinking of doing this for a while now and have been doing some research on here. Friday is 3 years since I started my new regime to control my diabetes and lose weight so...

I have my Rapilose which I aim to take on Friday. I am doing the full test and am starting to have 150g of carbs a day for the next three days starting tomorrow. I have read that you need to do normal exercise during the 3 days. Does this mean normal as an average or normal for me. I'm a...

Thanks for all the advice. Have started keeping a running diary of each run with bg's before and after and other factors. I definitely need to run fasted. Have tried eating carbs the night before and eating before in the morning and that is a no go. Even a bulletproof coffee made my run...

Ok. Have been off and read that :) So from what I can see if I am at 11.1 or less 2 hours after drinking and sitting still that I have had a non diabetic response. Am wanting to have a look before trying upping my carbs in day to day life.

I have a home test kit which I use mainly for and around sports now. Is there a specific test I can do at home say fasting for a set amount, testing and then eating a set amount of carbs and testing a time after. Am wanting to test if I am still diabetic. I low carb and have low Hba1c and am...

Well done on making the change! I've been keto for 3 years and haven't looked back. Managed to get of all my meds and get great numbers. Keep going :)

Hi .. Yep same. I run for pretty much the same reasons. I started as I was looking for something inexpensive I could do on my own without much equipment (learnt that lesson lol) to keep me fit heading towards my 50th. I have used dextro tabs in the past but not for running so will give them a...
