Read Dr Michael Mosley’s blood sugar diet.

Hi guys. Got my results back today and my hba1c came back 33! I am still a bit worried that my fasting bg is hovering between 5.5&6 so going low carb and hoping it’ll bring that level down a bit too. Thanks for your help and support

Awe thanks for the kind words and encouragement contralto. It has been a massive wake up call for me. Even if my a1c comes back in normal range I am still going to make the changes as my life style to now and current weight and family history makes me a prime target for T2. And you’re right this...

Well the doctor was less than helpful. She made me feel like an inconvenience. She wanted me to book an appointment with the nurse for blood test (hba1c) but I said no I would rather have it done this morning since that’s why I was there. So she grudgingly did it. She didn’t bother with a finger...

Thanks for the tip. I’m not on any medication at all at the moment. So no worries about it interfering.

No fish but chicken and meat and dairy are fine. Been trying to follow a LCHF diet loosely this week. And managed some carrot ‘fries’ and sweet potato. I can manage veg soup if blended well. So slowly making changes. Also trying to incorporate some more physical activity every day. Despite being...

Thanks. The ‘just eat more veg’ isn’t going to work. I’m actually phobic about it! As in retch and gag any time I try to eat it. I know it is completely psychological as I don’t mind the taste of most things but can’t stand the texture. So it becomes a vicious cycle. I’m looking in to...

Never been tested before (apart from couple of random BG tests a few years apart at health check ups for life insurance etc) but never came up high back then. I was unwell a couple of weeks ago and I gues started paying more attention to my body. Noticed I was thirsty and drinking more. Plus I’m...

Hi I’m due to see my GP tomorrow to ask to be tested for diabetes (hba1c). I suspect I’m pre-diabetic. I’ve been recording my fasting BG all week (5.5, 5.8, 7.3, 5.6, 5.8, 6.8, 6) plus a couple of 2hour post meals. I’ve been using the glucorx nexus which is the one NHS use. I’m worried I’m...

Hi emgoo I’m due at the doctors tomorrow to be tested. I’m sure i have pre-diabetes based on testing for the last week with a monitor that they supply on the NHS (borrowed to me by a pharmacist friend who specialises in diabetes). I’m going to ask for a hba1c test as well but wanted to take...

Hi all New to the forum. Due to see GP tomorrow. But based on testing over the last week (fasting / first thing in the morning) I suspect I’m prediabetic. Having done some online research I’ve read that Coenzyme q10 has been shown to help with glucose levels. It won’t let me share a link but...
