Bluetit1802 I really didn't cheat on any fasting tests.

Hi Bulkbiker, I have asked for another cholesterol test and told they are only done once a year! I started off on 80mg of Gliclazide a day and after two months my HbA1c was 60 but I was having hypos so reduced to 40mg a day and after 3 months (in total) HbA1c was 44. I have changed my diet, no...

Bluetit1802 I have included the part where my HbA1c was 54.

Bluetit1802 yes I know and my HbA1c was 56 in 2016 and in my notes it says no further action needed, if action was taken then I would not have had a HbA1c of 78 in March 2017 and felt so poorly. I can't change what happened or didn't happen I can only improve now, my latest HbA1c was 44 in June...

I must add that at the time this was done in March I was suffering from two infections and only when I asked for a blood glucose test I was diagnosed as diabetic..

I have found another one that was done in March 2017 but it does not mention triglycerides.

I am sure they were fasting but they were done in April 2016, I don't think I have had any others.

Hi the triglycerides worry me a little, I do have high blood pressure and I am on amlodipine, also my mother had high cholesterol so I guess that adds to the problem.

Hi, hopefully I have added the page from my results and my age is 53.

Thanks @Wuz I will try the omega 3, I don't eat fish at all so maybe that will help.

Hi, I am after some advice, I was diagnosed in April 17 with T2 and a HbA1c of 78. After 3 months I managed to get that down to HbA1c 44with the help of 80mg a day of Gliclazide and then being reduced to 40mg a day. I am interested in how to read my cholesterol test, as 18 months ago my doctor...

Wow, amazing results, well done. My cholesterol concerns me as the doctor wanted me to take statins and I flatly refused, rightly or wrongly I don't know, he tried to persuade me by saying that the benefits far outweigh the non-benefits but I was not convinced so did not take the prescription...

Hi steveis36, I was diagnosed in April and I am on 40mg of Gliclazide a day, I have none of the usual symptoms like thirst, peeing a lot, tiredness etc. I am not overweight (9st) and actually lost 6lbs by reducing carbs, weight has stayed at 9st and bg levels consistently between 4 -8, good luck...

Hi jlm I was diagnosed in April 2017 and was put on Gliclazide 80mg once a day. I am not overweight (9st) but this does fluctuate 2lbs up or down. After 2 months my meds were reduced to 40mg of Gliclazide as I was having hypos, I am on LCHF but I also am a vegetarian = no meat, fish, seafood...

Hi Cindee68 and welcome to the forum.

Hi jbelle and welcome, this forum is fab. Hopefully your issues will settle down and you start to feel better. Tracy

Mashed swede with grated cheese or cream cheese is excellent.

Hi, mine is walking and gardening, both of these I enjoy and do not think of them as chores.

Hi licklemoose, glad you are feeling better, I am so trying the Black Forest gateau at the weekend that looks yummy. We all 'step off the wagon' sometimes, it is ok as long as you step back on quickly.

Hi Sandhya13224 welcome, my T2 diagnosis is partly genetic (in the family) BUT I do love pasta, potatoes, rice and bread (all those 'carby' things) and not overweight (9st) but having cut out or seriously reduced this items I feel so much healthier and I do test my blood sugar so I know what...
