What hasn’t helped me is people saying ‘oh you can reverse T2 by doing the Dr Moslely’s diet’! If I get a high fasting glucose reading which may well be the ‘Dawn Phenomenon’ fasting may well not help. Also I have had comments ‘oh, its how and what you eat thats caused this’! My diabetes came...

Thanks, yes I’m still struggling to know why I get a high reading, sometimes it doesn’t make sense. The numbers have crept up, I think it may be as a result of my bereavement but then ‍♀️

Thanks. My glucose levels can be high and I’ve no idea why. I know I’ve been suffering a lot of stress since July when my mentally challenged younger brother who I needed to care for died negligently. I know this will affect my levels. I’m trying to manage so I don’t big get highs and lows. If...

Thank you. He thought I was obsessing and getting wound up - too late- I’ve had 2-3 years of drastic unexpected health issues, first Atrial fibrilation, I needed a partial knee replacement. THEN the Blue light to hospital diagnosed T2 and if that wasn’t enough, a femoral hernia and recently, my...

I have wondered about trying one of those for a short period. I had tried to contact the company as I can be allergic to plasters. They were not very helpful, however someone else had said they used a spray dressing first before sticking the monitor on.

I have been keeping a food diary since diagnosed. Logging my glucose levels for the fasting time before breakfast and before bed. I think I was thought over doing it

Since being diagnosed with T2 June 2021 I’ve been testing and recording my meals. Yesterday my GP told me to stop monitoring my levels, I only take evening and fasting recordings unless I get what I consider a high reading compared to usual. I am stressed about having T2, I was a blue light job...

Got told Friday 30/9 by GP to stop monitoring! Stressing me‍♀️

I test my glucose levels twice a day, morning and evening, I will do another test if the reading is higher than I’d like. I was diagnosed June 21’ and it was a total shock, no symptoms, just went confused and got taken to A&E. I was told this morning by GP that I shouldn’t be testing and...

7.1 this morning, higher than the evening one ‍♀️

There are other reasons too for developing T2, like stress, Covid and Nast viruses. Also heart meds can contribute to weight gain! In the last 2/3 years I had 2 really nasty viruses that could well have been Covid, developed Peripheral Atrial Fibrillation and then T2, if that wasn’t enough I had...

Well, while away on holiday my numbers went higher, unsure why, possibly not enough water. This morning 7.3.

I was taken to hospital by ambulance June 2021, my HBa1C was 138! No symptoms of diabetes ‍♀️ I would say your HBa1C is good!

I was taken to hospital beginning of July 2021 with confusion, turned out my HBa1C was 138!! No symptoms just seemed to come on almost overnight. I went low carb and within 3 months got it to 43. That was being really really strict almost no carb. Saw a consultant endocrinologist who would not...
