    Can I have your thoughts please?

    I feel anything over 6.5 these days. I start to get warm and my heart speeds up. I can definitely walk myself out of it though which feels good and I like having control. I have also noticed that after a good amount of exercise my levels stay lower generally. I had an upset tummy and had body...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Do you mind sharing why you can't eat more fat? I know schools of thought have changed dramatically about the impact of fat recently

    Can hypos be avoided by exercise?

    That's not bad is it? I suppose going so low not good but I think the exercise does lower your bg for a while afterwards. You might just need to add more food in if you are upping your exercise. I have been able to up my carbs this last week because we have been walking so much on holiday and my...

    Can hypos be avoided by exercise?

    I've noticed that if I exercise when I know I am going to hyper I can reduce the hyper. So in other words I eat and then immediately walk up a steep hill or like as fast as possible. Today I chased my little boy for half an hour pretending to be a wolf chasing the three little pigs and it really...

    Pre-lunch low

    It's a personal choice but I would never go down the route of synthetic hormones as I think it leads to trouble. You can have a full test at Genova diagnostics you would need to contact them to see if you would need a referral. There is also something called a spectracell test my vitamin d group...

    Pre-lunch low

    There are a few vit and miners deficiencies that could affect blood sugar control Kaz. It's expensive but if you can afford a full profile I would def do it. I am about to have a test for puroluria which is a deficiency of zinc and b6 (I think) as my hair is falling out in clumps. I'll let you...

    Freestyle Libre teaching me sooo much about my T2 and RH

    I think that is the trial wedding cake! I'm doing good I think but wish my average was a 5 not a 6. How do I see my predicted hb1ac? Thanks Brun x

    Freestyle Libre teaching me sooo much about my T2 and RH

    I'm doing well really Nosher. Tonight I had a bunless burger and salad and didn't have a spike at all. I am very low carbing and the occasional spikes are when I might fall off the waggon slightly cause we are on our holibobs :)

    Update from consultant

    Hiya yeah I will download some data and post it once I work out how :) I have it on my arm. I am gobsmacked at some results as oat biscuits send me off the scale and yet gluten free brownie didn't so it's all a bit weird. My best night in terms of no liver dump seems to be after peanut butter...

    Update from consultant

    Yes I agree he must have thought I was doing well and as nosher is saying each appointment will get better. First day today Kat with the libre I am baffled by it. I ate a gluten free brownie today to see what would happen and it hardly registered and I was starting to think maybe I am fixed and...

    Update from consultant

    Yes we will Brun. I haven't got started yet but am planning to have a go with it tomorrow. He was lovely and said I was doing very well. I think he was loathe to change anything and wanted me to see how far I could take the weight loss first. Sometimes I forget how poorly I was but I had a...
