Thanks. I haven't been looking at the amount (g) of carbs per day as you describe, just cutting down and switching to alternative types as recommended by my DNS. I will ask my DNS about the amount to aim for and how to measure this, thanks. I have indeed been looking at the extremes and that is...

Hi all, you might have seen my previous posts, I am 42f with a BMI of 23.8 and got a diagnosis of diabetes (presumed type 2) a month ago out of the blue. I had no recognisable symptoms, but was referred due to a wound on my toe that the podiatrist felt wasn't healing well. My hbA1c came back as...

Hi all, I was diagnosed a month ago with no symptoms other than an ulcer on my toe that wasn't healing. I just got back from Greece (which was amazing) but I had to keep the wound dressed and dry the entire time, which was a concern for me as I love swimming and that is my main aim when on...

Sorry I don't know why it posted just one word! I meant to say that is amazing, well done on your progress. It is great to hear stories like that. Thank you!

T Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to it and all the nurses have been so great in getting me prepared! Thanks for the link. I suspected hormones have an impact!

Hi all, just wanted to update on my journey so far. As per my first post, was referred for hbA1c by the podiatrist after a toe wound wasn't healing well. I am 42f with BMI 23.8 and had no symptoms (other than the toe!). HbA1c came back at 107, retest was 105 so type 2 diabetes was diagnosed with...

Thank you! Am on the max dose of Metformin, it seems to show a very steady decline in BG but it hasn't really been long enough. Picking up the Glicazide tomorrow. Thanks for your help

Thank you again! Yes they have given me slow release met this time. I can only assume it helped me with fertility, I went on to have ovulation stimulation and had my daughter :) Just had another call from another diabetes nurse specialist. My repeat hbA1c was 105 so confirms diabetes, however...

Thank you. What I wanted to post yesterday is to say a huge thanks, but also to say I have been on Metformin before, as part of a fertility pathway. This was 11 years ago and I definitely had the side effects but I suspect I wasn't as sensible back then, I will make sure to take it with food...

I keep trying to reply in full Jo but getting an error :( massive thank you for your time and energy and helpful advice

Thank you so much everyone has been so lovely

Hi everyone, thanks for my lovely warm welcome on my first post yesterday after being told my hbA1c was 107 when it was checked due to a ulcer on my toe that was taking a while to heal. It was a massive shock yesterday and the GP herself said over the phone she was a little baffled. I had a 1.5...

Thank you so much, you are all so lovely and kind. I had a very long and intense appt this morning but feeling ok about it, will do a separate post on this thread later

Thank you so much for your kind welcome I really appreciate it. I will indeed share after the appointment. Really grateful to be having it so swiftly.

Hi everyone, please be gentle as I am very new to all of this. I am so grateful this forum exists. After having cellulitis in my toe and struggling to get it to heal, I had my hbA1c checked - it came back at 107. I have no other symptoms and am not over weight. I have PCOS (which has actually...
