    Invokana issues

    I'm also wondering what your low carb diet looks like, though of course you need to see your doctor immediately about the current problems. Many T2s would have a much lower hba1c if eating low carb.

    Prediabetes diagnosis

    Hi all So was diagnosed type 2 7 years ago. Since then I have kept my hba1c under 42, often under 40. I now take 2*500mg Metformin a day but was thinking of reducing. I'm a bit puzzled about the criteria for prediabetes diagnosis. Some say under 42 (mmol/mil??) and some say under 100mg/dl. If...

    I have been to see the Diabetes Nurse Today

    That's brilliant! What was your hba1c last time? It sounds like you are doing great. I do keep up the testing, though. Diabetes is a marathon not a sprint.

    I am T2 Diabetic And recently had my review.

    There have been many instances of people with T2 being told not to test. I am T2 and wear the Abbott freestyle libre which has been invaluable in tuning my low carb diet to maintain my hba1c in non diabetic range for 7 years. I could not have obtained the knowledge I have of how foods and...

    Fed up, a bit burntout

    Hi I was diagnosed type 2 7 years ago. For 6 years I controlled it with diet only. Then it just felt really difficult and for the last year I've taken 2 X 500mg Metformin a day. But it seems more difficult to control it. When I was first diagnosed, lowering the carbs made my hba1c drop like a...
