5.4 this morning

My gp has put me on it. You buy your own shakes and there was 1 or 2 teams meetings but no monitoring really, gp called and said check your bp and sugars ( no machines provided to do it ). Its just as good as unsupervised just that gp knows about it. I am on week 4 but gave up on shakes soon...

Hi I am in my third week and lost about 6 kilos. I am doing with non startchy vegetables and will add some protein now at the end of third week. What I know is you have yo loose about 15 percent weight and to hit that target i will need 8 to 10 weeks. I did buy shakes but it felt like it was...

Hi Just another update really of what has happened since. I hesitantly asked my gp for support on a vlcd and strangely he said you might fit the bill and sent my name to check if i was eligible. They came back and said you are. so i started 2 weeks ago but hitting a major issue in the fact...

Hi So I got my a1c done and its fallen from 114 or 113 to 51 in 4 months. I am happy but not sure if this was enough. I am only doing diet and exercise and my carbs come from a salad and some cauli rice, i am walking about anywhere between 3 and 6 miles depending on time, i have lost nearly 10...

Wow thats impressive. I am doing 16 8 with one salad and a few pieces of chicken or omelette with 10 kms walk everyday. I lost initially but stuck at 78 for nearly a month may be more. Bmi is in green. Still not disheartened but sometime i feel like i should have lost more especially when i see...

Hi In our office they allowed phased back to work rota considering the mental health issues. Trust me its a lot busy outside now and getting busier everyday on roads and buses etc. We started with two days a week gradually increasing to 5 but our office had called everyone back in as soon as...

Thanks @Riva_Roxaban @HSSS

Sorry to hijack this thread but i do have a similar question. I sometimes skip lunch and i do skip breakfast for 16h fasting. If i dont eat lunch should u skip metformin as i am skipping them now a days.

Or skip the alchohol perhaps:) I have stopped it till i get to better bg control. Not sure how it impacts bg.

I think we are in same situation. Been diabetic for about 5 years and had non diabetic a1c till 2019. Had covid march 2020 and fell off the wagon. A1c came back at 114. Finger prick tests were 25+ Went down the low carb route again and added 5 to 10k walk everyday, still not losing any weight...

I have similar issues. I was around 40 on a1c but then shot up. I would also put it down to me relaxing what i ate as i lost a lot of weight during covid and lost the will to eat low carb, and then it was hard to go back. I had it back end of march last year so no covid testing, but i stopped bg...

Hi All I have been buying almond flour from costco but its got 20g carb per 100g. Is that notmal. Are there any other places that someone can recommend. Ingredients say blanched almonds only. The sticker on website says something else so i dont have the exact carb g per 100g but bit worried why...

Thanks for your reply. This is what concerns me a bit too, i have just stayed over 10 all the time practically. Whether i eat or not does not make a difference and if i eat i manage to stay within 2 points spike, i do consider taking medicine if offered after the bloods to get bg levels under...

Hi Thanks for the guidance. I am doing testing before and 2 hours after and i am usually up by 2 to 2.5 points on reading. Yesterday i started my day at 12.3 and then in the evening i was still 12.5 and i only had salad no dressing all day. Had chicken curry homemade and cauli rice and another...

Hi I have been diabetic for about 6 years and was in control of it till last year. I got Covid and then work from home ruined my diet plan. I have been doing 16 8 diet for last 5 years which has kept my weight in check but since covid a year and 2 months ago i just started eating anything i...
