Can ask what is the normal, non-diabetic number for HbA1c?

Mekalu my husband was diagnosed type 2 in 2009, he takes a little exercise but not much, and he eats low carb medium fat; he is still meds-free and HbA1c stays steady at 48 every year. So he's not cured but he's not getting any worse either.

Thanks ! I know nothing at all about phones or apps and will get my daughter to do this. :) ty

My hubby is type 2 and says he read somewhere about an app you can use to scan barcodes and it tells you how much sugar is in the item. He's 70 this year and has got a fancy new phone and is going a wee bit over the top with it. Is this true, and if it is, how would you get it ?

No dogs, just a very spoiled snooty cat!

No pound shops or Home Bargains near, I rely on online shopping from asda or sainsbugs - but I have written all these down. I'm very grateful thank you everybody. You might have saved me from a messy divorce lol

He hates coconut Totto but many thanks for help :)

Had a wee look and yes I think i could cope wi them lol. Thank you xx

Am still on the quest to stop hubby being so depressed. He used to love a wee biscuit with his cup of tea but we had cut that down to the odd digestive. Now he wants to get his BG still lower and has stopped the biscuits and is just plain miserable (and moany!) Are there any biscuits or home...

O drat :(

More importantly, @fumanchu , is your husband taking balancing amounts of Vit K? Both vits are needed together for the body to effectively utilise the vit D. Oh I didnt know this - I will go and read the label on the multivits we take, thank you.

He used to like a wee glass of Port, would that be ok for him? And thanks!

Hubby is asking what is safe for him, as a type 2 diet controlled, to have one small glass of at nights to help him de-stress and sleep? Also for christmas dinner. Thanks!

Localgirl I can empathize. I hate cooking with a passion. I'm not diabetic, my hubby is - but I have quite bad ME and if he wasn't here I'd live quite happily on cornflakes and crisps because some days just getting out of bed takes me all my willpower. This is a great forum though, I don't post...

What kind of dose of D3 is everybody taking? My hubby is on 5000iu daily and I wonder if that's too high.

Oh god. Ok many thanks for this.

Well... that's the problem lol I do drink a LOT of tea. Will add in a pint every day into myfitnesspal site. ty.

I'm not diabetic and I'm the one who likes really milky tea. I think I'll go with the semiskimmed, thanks everybody :)

Yes, low calorie diets :)
