Congratulations on your continuing low numbers hankjam. A very good outcome for you. I would love to be able to get my medical notes online but here you have to show either a passport, driving license or ID card to register and I have none of those.

Still a long time to wait. I feel for you. Hope you are back to normal very soon xx

Are you better now Rachox?

Your GP has a duty of care to you and doesn't seem to be honouring it.

That sounds awful Arsenal79. Did it come on gradually over time or all at once? Maybe you are allergic to something in your present diet?

Bulkbiker is right. Why go on meds when you are doing okay? It would be different if you were struggling. You seem very good at staying in control :)

I find that I really do not need much food now Su. It's really strange, isn't it! I don't ever let myself get hungry though, and yet on all the carbs I would wake up hungry, ad someties so hungry that I felt sick!

I didn't feel hungry so no breakfast today. At 12.45 I had a chocolate cookie biscuit and about five/six nuts with coffee (which I rarely drink) and double cream. It was experimental too (as was Annb's cornflakes), but had absolutely no affect on me other than confirming that I really don't miss...

Wow!

I had mixed salad leaves topped with steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli, then topped with chicken tikka slices and some mayo. It was delicious. I had that at 3.30 so I may possibly have some raspberries and cream later, but still feel pretty full :) xx

Well surely this is crazy! 4.8 when I broke my fast at 12.45 but then I actually had a Galaxy chocolate cookie biscuit (testing) and about five or six nuts. I just retested (twice!) and it is 4.5. By the way I didn't enjoy the cookie and won't be having any more of them. They were bought for my...

SuNuman I didn't even know that Type 2 diabetics could ever go as low as 2's! That would freak me out! I'm not hungry yet todau (now 12.20pm) but I'll have a cuppa and some nuts as I've just come in from mowing the lawn and will be sitting down to see the news on tv shortly :) x

I hope you don't take a metformin while fasting? I only have one per day and usually with breakfast, but if I delay eating then I have it with the first meal, whenever that is. That doesn't seem right dropping to 2's!! Were you drinking as you need to, and that won't alter your fast. You can...

Su, I attacked this full on. I didn't eat a thing until 3.30pm on the first day of the onslaught in July, and then the following couple of days I ate nothing until 11.30am, so of course it was a good start. I had no meter then as mine got mislaid when I moved house, and it was a week before I...

No Su. The highest I've seen since I began in July was a 7. I remember getting a 10 once before though, some years ago, and it scared me as the highest had never been over 8

We are the same height then :) When I was diagnosed I was already into diabetic figures, so was put in metformin straight away. I thought they'd made a mistake! It seemed ridiculous at first, and then scary!!!

I was diagnosed in January 2016 Su. What about you?

Pastry has always given me indigestion, so I have shyed away from things like meat pies and sausage rolls/cornish pasties etc for many years, but I did have a passion for egg custards despite them meaning I had to keep Rennies in stock! :D My downfall has mostly been chocolate bars or ice cream...

You do have to be careful with the Alpen as it's very high carb, but because I only have two tablespoons and then add the Pumpkin, Chia and Flaxseeds it levels it out in your system, and I get a rise of next to nothing after the two hours. Also with Brazil nuts limit to only four as they can...

A typical day (now) would be either Greek yogurt with blueberries, Pumpkin, Chia and Flax seed mix (2 dessertspoons), plus a drizzle of double cream, OR 2 tablespoons no sugar Alpen, again with 2 dessertspoons of the above seed mix, and either blueberries or raspberries, a large pinch ground...
