Morning folks, been 5.9 and under for the past four days.

Cheers @Zeddedhed I will update this thread as soon as I know, results are generally three to four days after the test here in Liverpool. I really appreciate your good wishes, thank you! Kev

Hiya @ianf0ster my old reading was 61, apologies for omitting that.

Here we go, HbA1c test booked for Wednesday, this will be the first since I followed the advice of the members of this forum and cut out carbs. Am I excited? Yes. Am I nervous? Very. Why am I nervous? I don't know but if my average bloods are anything to go by, I should be under 40 -...

Folks, my apologies for not replying sooner, I work as a HGV driver and I've been on my shifts.. I do hope my lack of response hasn't offended. @LaoDan Sir, thank you for the information, I watch your posts with interest as I feel we have been down a similar path, you do have much more energy...

7.1... :banghead: Don't know where that came from. Funeral yesterday may not have helped.

Now in Liverpool! East Lancs was my birthplace and then moved to Over Wyre. ATB

Kenny, good morning. Ah, that makes sense to me now. I have a telephone consult with the GP tomorrow to discuss progress and to see what steps I can take. This forum has been instrumental in changing my lifestyle and diet, your posts along with @bulkbiker @ianf0ster @Jim Lahey and many others...

Thanks for reading as always. Now coming into my fifth week of cutting carbs, my diet consists of above ground vegetables, meat, some dairy and an occasional wine. My treats are ground almond cupcakes or some very dark chocolate. The first two to three weeks saw fairly rapid weight loss, I...

Last three days, 5.7. Dropped Atorvastatin and my 'Dawn Phenomenon' seems to have reduced.

@EllieM your post scared the life out of me - for all the right reasons. Glad I never had to go insulin, been close but avoided it. Diet is now the key.

I'm almost in the same boat as you. I've been low carbing and it has been amazing how my body and outlook has changed. I am now not taking any drugs and my control is pretty good. My average over the last 30 days is 6.5mmol/L, in the last seven days, it is 6.0 mmol/L. The last seven days saw me...

Morning Ian. As you so rightly say, I was put on Atorvastatin purely because of my risk of heart disease. Thanks (as always) for a full and informative reply, it has settled my mind.

I've downloaded MySugr and I read what people are saying about it being optimistic with it's HbA1c estimate. My main app is the Contour Next from Ascencia/Bayer, this is what talks to my meter and imports my readings into MySugr Looking at the last 30 days, my average reading is 6.6mmol/L...

5.8! Boom. :):):cat::cat:

Hello! Welcome to the forum and I truly hope you get as much out of this as I have. Firstly, from my own findings and with great help from @ianf0ster and others, consider cutting carbs out or down immediately. Why do I say this? I've been T2 for over 18 years, I've had two episodes of cutting...

Just Trulicity and a Statin now, metformin and dapagliflozin gone

Thanks @Jaylee! Class 1, the bendy ones. Appreciate your input very much. @ianf0ster once again you have helped - thank you so much for your advice and tips. Very informative and easy to read. Cheers, that has helped me no end

Thanks for a great reply. I’ve now reached the point where I’d like to be ‘normal’ again and to be well within tolerances. It sticks in my mind that being around 6 is where I my HbA1c will be sub 39 - my goal. Time to get off all meds and go with a diet-lead life. Driving HGV1 ( the bendy...

Jim. Thanks for a comprehensive reply. Unfortunately, the nature of my job and shift system means consistent timing is a problem. My shifts start from 0200-0800 and I work four on, four off. The only thing I can keep constant are meal times, the job gives me flexibility to do that. Your...
