Well done, I was doing similar figures to you, and have quite easily gone down to 120 ish, the next step needs a little more planning I think. Nice to hear you’ve managed so easily

Thanks for all the advice, and the link[emoji106]. Mouthwatering

Hi, I am averaging 120g of carbs a day so not low low, but a huge drop from what I used to eat before diagnosis a month ago. Any way what can I eat in an Indian Restaurant? We are going out at work and all I can see is carbs, rice, naan, beer, (Cobra is the only beer I like, I have maybe 10...

My first self test was 5 minutes before dinner this evening, result 5.5, this was 6 hours from lunch. My second test was 2 hours after starting dinner, result was 6.7. Meal was 380 calories, carbs 27g, fat 15g, protein 31g. This seems to me to say this meal was fine, total carbs for today was...

Yes h884, pairing took 30 seconds and that was it. Very easy. As soon as test completed the result was on the phone, put in my meal details on the app, very easy and nice and simple.

Well my first test is 5.5 before a meal, so now to wait for a couple of hours

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with T2, and before my first meeting with the Diabetic Nurse, I have started dieting and exercising and want to test my blood regularly. I have ordered a contour next one and have the app on my phone, The app is confusing as I dont have the monitor yet to test...

I used to swim every day, until 6 months in I got a chest infection that resulted in me having to stop as I couldnt shake it and for years after had chest infections regularly. I found that I used to go into a trance like state in the pool after 10 or so lengths and it was great for stress. I...

Well my Doctor (a Student Doctor at my Surgery) has told me its Type 2, but as shes finishing her placement on Friday shes advised I wait until my appointment with the Diabetes Nurse next Tuesday to discuss treatment. She was very pleased with my weight loss and that I had taken control of my...

Interestingly to me, I once did a hundred miles a day for 4 days, staying at hotels, where for some reason there were no Pasta dishes on the menus, For breakfast which normally then, when riding, I did not have, I was having a full english breakfast, sandwiches for lunch with bananas, and either...

I certainly ride for 40 miles fasted as it’s supposed to increase body fat loss in men training in a fasted state. I do unfortunately have way too much body fat lol

Fantastic weight loss once means you have the power to do it again.

Interesting reading for tonight I think. Not sure I could convert to run on fat, my digestive system seems delicate if I change what I eat on the bike, but a slow steady adjustment should be workable. I don’t use gels but do use Sis electrolyte to keep hydrated, typically taking 5 litres in 100...

I am a reasonably experienced cyclist, I have done many 100 mile rides in the past but last year (prediag) I struggled with energy and on several rides crashed dramatically, hitting the wall and not being able to turn the pedals at all, heart rate going through the roof and brain all fuzzy...

Thank you for your advice, I had a wander round Sainsbury’s tonight looking at labels, and have managed to replace the items I have been eating with lower carb alternatives. This has knocked a 1/3 of my carb intake off, just like that. Your advice has certainly bucked me up, I will get a tester...

Hi, my name is Mark and a few years ago I was diagnosed as prediabetic, I lost 30 kilos and was back to normal. Stupidly I let myself go and put back 20 kilos in 2 years. I have just had 2 blood tests and found out I am diabetic ( haven’t been told which one but due to my weight I take it that...
