I mean your experience might be different from mine. But I had the same after a blood test. A text from the gp surgery saying to book another test in 2 months. I rang and asked why. So the receptionist read out the doctors note which said likely diabetic and another test needed to confirm. I...

The best!

Haha! Not quite at that level... yet ;)

Yep, I’m totally the same, with albeit limited experience, based on caving once for a bag of m and ms - expected rise then drop slowly but pay for it the day after with slightly elevated levels (but luckily not too bad). Would love to know the science behind it? Some kind of liver top up that is...

I’m so sorry for your loss mousee, it’s very understandable how you’ve reacted. I’ve not so many words of wisdom but do be kind to yourself - as kind as you would to anybody else else you were reading about! There are so many people here who are reading your story and have either gone through it...

I went to a friends house for her birthday yesterday and even though I told I just would’nt have cake it ok, she made me a chocolate mouse dessert that was so quick and easy and didn’t spike my sugar! 100ml double cream in a ramekin, 2 squares of dark chocolate, microwave 1 minute and mixed, 1...

Yeah exercise is a funny one isn’t it?! I’ve been doing more reading and learned a few more things. Like the intensive exercise will be good for t2s long term, anything anaerobic is better, and in short bursts, the maximum heart rate you should be aiming for while exercising (can’t remember...

That’s fantastic news Roadie! Well done on working out something that works for you so quickly. It feels good knowing that actually you do have some control after all! Do keep us updated on how you’re doing.

Hiya, Alright, inspired with everyone, I’m in with the weigh ins! I started at 14 stone 7 pounds. Today 13st 12lbs. Down one pound from last week but hey slow and steady I’m hoping will stay off and be sustainable. Plus not calorie counting and just concentrating on managing blood sugar...

I had the same thing with false hypos and my body just got used to the new lower level. It still happens when I get in the 4’s - when this happens if I don’t do anything I get a rise presumably from liver dump, but if it eat a really small snack it seems to trick my liver into not dumping. Just...

Thank you. It got me a bit teary on the day thinking everything about they’ve gone through and opening the envelopes bursting into happy tears!

0.4g wow! Awesome thank you

Definitely agree! On being kind to ourselves and learning as we go. It’s nice coming here and feeling a little less alone.

I’m not much further down the line from you! It’s sounds as though you’ve made a great start and getting the numbers moving in the right direction - well done you! I’m making mistakes and learning as I go, I think I everybody does, we’re all in the same boat. It’s overwhelming but we can do this!

Gah, I’ve gone back and looked at my food diary, and on the day I struggled I had sausage, egg and cheese for breakfast, crayfish salad for lunch and white fish for tea. Nowhere near enough fat apart from breakfast I think. It’s 60-80% fat in the total calories intake right? I’ll have to plan my...

Cheers Ian, it’s been about 4 weeks. I haven’t been counting calories and just put extra meat and veg on the plate, then eaten till full but not stuffed! Maybe I should be counting everything and then play with the amount of protein and fat to make sure there’s enough...

Aaaaand checked my bloods before lunch after seeing lots of happy pupils get their results and back to 4.1 - my lowest reading yet. What on Earth?! I guess anxiety really does affect my bloods! Not looking a gift horse in the mouth

Well done on all your progress and so far and proactive ness! If you find the walking group too much, I started off from 20 minutes after food, very gently and it had a noticeable effect on bloods. It can quickly build up from there! Good luck

I mean the biology teach in me winces a bit but yeah, different processes but same outcome (energy)!

*under not until! We all worked hard through lockdown too
