Thankyou. It will be interesting to see the new numbers in breakdown and ratio etc. Really hoping for a good H1 result. One thing that I've never seen before was the Qrisk number? Just googled it and was not aware this was done. 10.68% .Says under 20% medium risk? New one on me but only recently...

Just looking back the ldl was 0.9 and hdl 3.4. Will see what new ones come back at.

Hy everyone. Firstly thankyou for the help upon first diagnosis. Was 121 then down to 75 in June. They were happy with progress but wanted me to start statins as cholesterol was high. 5.4 and 2.0 trig. I refused and said I intended to remedy through diet. Had my 2nd bloods taken yesterday and...

It's a real shock to have it actually diagnosed even though you suspected T2. Finding here is a good step and helps you learn the knowledge to take control of this. First week or so I felt such an array of emotion and really took little in but you will find it settles as you learn and hatch an...

Hy guys.Was due my 2nd H1 test since diagnosis but cant get me in till 22nd. The eye screening came back all clear so that was good. Not been above 8 in 2 month and generally 5and 7s.Only get high 7s first thing in morning. Weight loss at a standstill but working up courage to rejoin gym. Wont...

Thanks for info on the eye screening. Random was maybe the wrong choice of word? I test before and then few hour after meals but not as often now as i know now certain foods agree or disagree which learnt through testing pretty much everything. It's much as you advised months ago and i can feel...

How do everyone.. Nothing of real consequence to report since last post. Numbers tend to be 7ish in morning and between 5.6 and 8 on random tests. Not seen a 9 in week's. Scales show weight level static which disappoints a bit but people saying I've lost some more. Still have the odd day when...

I had very similar reaction to Met. Found the SR bit better but still had issues. Particularly on increasing the dosage.When first got up to 4 then had to go back to 3 then 2 before building up again to 4.Probably took me 10 week to settle. I still occasionally get a day when the yellow stingers...

For something sweet I have few strawberries with greek yoghurt with honey but if hungry during day have a few boiled eggs ready and also the cheap fish sticks from supermarket although they have fair bit of salt added but if times an issue they are substantial enough to do a job.

Just about halved your mmol so reasons to be cheerful. Seems to slow a little as near better numbers so don't change what your doing and persevere.The 5s will come im sure.

I read the advice and decided to aim for max of 50g carb a day. Was hard at first but became much easier. The key is still eating well and not feeling hungry. As advised above find what works for you.

That's a lovely and unexpected post. Thank you. I actually 're read the whole thread yesterday and it seems so much longer than April 22nd? I have found it a big help on here and the senior posters do a sterling job. I also wrote the highs and lows without any agenda and you certainly have...

Cheers. It's a fair target imo . Next test due 2nd week Semptember so knuckle down and up the excersise as weight loss has slowed. I was disappointed but probably down to setting such lofty goal in such timescale.Now had time to digest it i can take a longer term view

Thanks. My meter shows 7 day average 6.5 14 day 7 up to 8.7 90 day.The fact I started over 18 has hit my average but hoped the decent last month would reflect more

Just tried the second one and showing borderline and one high risk. Just hope they show better next round of tests?

Just noticed one I missed 4.5 non high density lipoprotein chol level

So are my stats overly bad? I know they suggest 4.0 for diabetics but is that practical?

It wasn't a fasted test. I'm not that worried from what I've read but saying that I'd like to lower them all

I have just received copy of test results. 5.4 overall HDL 0.9 LDL 3.4 Chl/HDL ratio 6.0 Triglyceride 2.0. So I do need to lower the bad cholestorol but suspect this has been the case as it was not recorded on first set of tests and reckon next times should show this?

Thanks. I have the nhs app which doesn't give test results but will look into the surgery own site. As for the cholestorol she said it was too much bad cholestorol but not the amounts. Was hoping for low 50s if not high 40s so 75 was a reality check.
