Thank you everyone for the positive support, I see my nurse soon and I will be bringing this up with her, I think looking for information about diabetes on google makes me worse, I thought being informed would be helpful to me but seeing websites that state in studies most type 2 diabetics...

Ah ok thank you, I thought it means I am the start of kidney failure. Thank you

Is it what I understand that my cholesterol is 3.3 but it’s pretty much all bad stuff, also do you know why it would say grade 1 CKD is that just there way of showing results or do I have this? Sorry for all the questions. Wish I’d have not looked now. Thank you

Hi everyone Just looking for some help with my test results, iv put my self into a bit of a panic. These are my results and my nurse said everything is fine no action needed but after a quick google it looks like it’s saying my kidneys are not working properly and my cholesterol is a mess. Any...

Thank you all for the wonderful support and advice, I think in time I will calm myself down, it is almost heartbreaking knowing that if the government just gave people the correct information so many people could avoid this situation, I was actually speaking to a pre diabetic lady today around...

Thank you all so much for the reply’s, hopefully my mind set will change in time, I know I feel different each day, some days I am angry that the health system gives this poison of advice and then other days how utterly disappointed I am in myself, I know how bad carbs are to me now and anything...

Thank you, most of my life Ellie I have been on a diet ( slimming world ) eating pasta rice potatoes and just getting bigger and bigger, and I didn’t know why, I started lchf and the weight is just dropping off and I’m eating all the foods I avoided thinking they would make me fat. You’re...

hi everyone I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic two months ago I am 30 years old, overweight and Have a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. In them two months I have got my hba1c from 64 to 48, I was re tested early because I have lost 2 stone and my nurse wants to see about lowering my...

Iv just had the same dilemma, give it a few days it will go back to normal, took 3 days for mine to go back to normal.

Thank you, I think it’s a huge learning curve, tonight I was slightly high for me at 6.6 and it was from green beans of all things, it was the only new thing I added to that meal. I will keep at what I’m doing, I cringe to think at what my blood sugars would have been before I was diagnosed with...

Thank you so much for all the words of wisdom and support, everyone on here has been really invaluable to me, it’s scary to think the nurses and drs would have you eating high carbs and pegged for death at 50, I feel I have just lost faith in them. I honestly can’t thank you all enough it’s...

Hi another question After my poorly stint and blood sugars around 8.8 I am back to normal for me this is anything between 4.2 pre meal and 7 post meal, but I feel I’m becoming a bit obsessed with my numbers, my pre meal will be 5.5 and my post meal 6.6 and I feel disappointed because it’s not...

Thank you, I have quite a supportive nurse who I usually see but went to see him because of the illness, I won’t make that mistake again. I was kind of under the assumption I will control this and live to a grand old age, my nurse is very pleased with how I’m doing and always supporting me but...

Yes I think I will discuss it with her, he was quite awful telling me how because of my age I am unlikely to see 50 even if I keep my bg within normal range and just really putting me down, quite awful really I have young children and would like to see them get married and have children of there...

Saw the doctor today and they won’t put off my a1c and he said he’s not to concerned and it will pass hopefully, he said if I’m no better in 3 weeks go back or if my blood sugar goes up to 23mmol he seemed more concerned about making me feel like **** about how iv have been diagnosed at 30 and...

Thank you, I have had this meal a few weeks ago and it was 5.5mmol so I don’t think it’s the food. Iv just checked again and it’s on the way down 7.2 mol 2 1/2 hours post meal but still very high compared to what I have been getting.

I have just posted myself about how my blood sugars that are usually well in control are so high for me, I have been ill for the last two weeks, like flu and shivering I know I picked up slapped cheek from my daughter and wondering if this awful illness is messing with my numbers. Maybe it’s the...

just having a moan really I have been doing so well with weight loss, low carb high fat diet my blood sugars have been on average 5ish before and pre meal but I got slapped cheek of my daughter and have felt like I have had flu for past two weeks, followed by the awful rash now bad joint pain...

That makes a lot of sense, in all honesty iv been really low carb since I was diagnosed and my numbers have been great it’s just been my daughters birthday and tonight I have had had anything high carb, im usually chicken and salad for dinner and fish and low carb vegetables for tea. I’ll stay...

Thank you, I will avoid roasting them from now on. I think I just assumed if my bg could handle a tortilla and cake a sweet potatoe would be fine but obviously not. I Will try them boiled or in a stew at some point. Thanks again
