Consultant on a bank holiday? As if..... I'd be at A&E quick sharp.... They have a duty of care after all....

I had the preconception that the Tee2 read high... I also had the preconception that the SD read higher than the tee2. They both read higher than my accucheck mobile for sure... That said, I ditched the SD as it wasn't consistent and kept the tee2 as at least it was very consistent. My...

I find it hard to comprehend a doctor referring for an MRI without a blood check for what are pretty much classic Diabetes symptoms in the first instance.... Personally, I would change doctors.

11 lbs gain now in 4-5 weeks, leaving me at 155lbs, BMI 21.8 and bodyfat 16.9% 5lb gain to go leaving me at 11 stone 7lbs and then I will go into maintenance mode. No carb increase to achieve this, all done with high cal smoothie for breakfast and 1 evening meal.

Don't vote Conservative then, or move to a country with devolved administration. England can't have it all ways, it is the South East that voted these monsters into power.

No meds but I take supplements daily, Vit D3 5000iu grape seed extract 400mg CoeQ10 100mg Magnesium Citrate 200mg I was on ramipril and amlodipine before I changed diets.

Mine has reduced significantly, I was at 160/100 when I started 4 months ago...

10 pints of lager? that's got to be a disaster waiting to happen... Not even sensible for non diabetics. I'd have a rethink in your shoes.....

Interesting that so many advocate muscle mass building to reduce insulin resistance. I believe I have gone as far as I can with aerobic workouts, daily walking, jogging, treadmill etc I just dug out the old dumbells from the shed and am about to embark on this routine 3 days a week and see...

Um no, it's a symptom of being diabetic... That said, it's far more beneficial to exercise than not to exercise.....

The whole of Wales, Scotland and NI is exempt from paying for prescriptions, regardless of income. Middle England keeps voting the Tories in, blame them.

I believe @Pogel said all diet and exercise over 6 months, I recall she was severely diabetic on diagnosis and turned down medication opting for LCHF.

an a1c of 5.4? its about 35 Very well done too, superb result.

Only in America! God bless the NHS, all prescription medication is free at point of use to anyone living in Wales or Scotland and free to anyone on low income in England and £29.10 every 3 months for those in England who are deemed able to afford to pay.

I've finally gotten thru to all that are close to me.... The final breakthrough came last Sunday when I visited the ex mother in law for Sunday dinner with my son. Normally she would shove a roast dinner under my nose and then moan when I leave half of it on the plate. This weekend she...

I just had a 4.9 before dinner.... Lowest I've ever seen too without the need for 48hr fasting to force lower it. My BP is unusually lower than its normal for a few days too... Strange....

This is me too.... I get up every morning around 6-6.4 and often can climb as high as 7.5 within 15 mins. Yet my a1c recently was 5.3 I now no longer check in the mornings as it depresses me. I now only worry about what I can control, after meal peaks, seems to be the right approach for me.

^^^^^ this is the key to lowering fbg permanently... I tried it but being skinny the wieght loss was too significant. Jason fung advocates 23/1 personally on 3 to 4 days a week as he does it himself. I've always eaten 23/1 most of my adult life so it did little for me. I found the greatest...
