Hy guys. Rang in and the nurse rung back. She was pretty up to speed and actually recommended this site before I mentioned it so much improved than some colleague. I was however a bit disappointed in my 3 month reading of 75 from 121. I was hoping for fair bit lower tbh. Although I was stuck in...

Had bloods taken last Friday. Results back on Monday but doctor not accessed them so told ring Wednesday. Same situation but told try Thursday.Rang today but told still not opened? I understand it's not normal times but was a little cheesed off. Just this minute received text saying make...

You've done ever so well imo. I got stuck in 9s after rapid initial loss and got bit impatient but as advised by couple of wiser folk on here I'm now seeing 'normal' readings. Whatever you are doing I'd suggest carry on.

Very similar to my numbers on diagnosis April 22nd 2020. The blurry vision got better after first month of low carb and blood sugars dropping. Medium and distance I had no issues but reading and general short distance vision got pretty bad on and off. Not had an issue with it since June touch...

The mg/dl numbers were not mentioned at surgery and presumed were US measurements? That chart is the most easy to understand I've seen so far. Very helpful

Yes they told me 121 which converted to 18.3ish in meter terms.

Never seen that chart before thanks for posting.My initial HbA1c of 121 looks even worse seeing that? Very sobering.

Cheers. I didn't know anything about those meds so was not going to advise.

As for medication that is the realm of qualified folk but i would say on the info you've given you are doing very well? Think id be getting appointment with GP asap and ease any uncertainty. Write down all your questions and dont leave til all addressed to your satisfaction and a plan in place...

Welcome to the forum. How have you been doing since diagnosis? I just did my second 3 month test today so will know a bit more next week.Have you kept track of your numbers and altered diet any? I'm sure you will get good advice and support here.

Coors light is a decent enough lager and relatively low carb and calorie. Ice cold in this weather a beer is a real treat Just find the Michelob beats it and Bud light on taste. In my opinion if you are only having a few beers then its not going to do you much harm and i intend to enjoy a couple...

Seems things are looking up? Back in stock Asda!

Told you i was bad at this. Made a mess of inserting photo :)

Just had this 2 hour after soup and cheese salad. Had a Ribena light bottle as well so was expecting little. Can't say just how chuffed i was. Go into the 3 month test t omorrow a bit calmer.

No, I've not tried that although seen it mentioned. I'm not really app/tech savvy but will take a look

Agree with all the opinions on low carb. I did miss bread and pastry/pies first few week but it soon passed. Can honestly say I've never felt hungry once since started on 50g carb and under a day which I often did whilst eating low/reduced fat high carb. I did however find original Metformin...

Not been testing as much now I know what foods cause me problems but mainly in morning when i do Just done a random check now and 6.2.This is my lowest so far and has me thinking the dawn phenomenon may mean I've been basing my average on skewed data?

Cheers. I still see people starting new topics and really empathise with how they feel upon diagnosis. 3 month later it doesn't seem quite so scary but looking back it was pretty intense. Still relatively new to all this and if my journey helps others like you guys helped me il be glad.

Just an update.Resumed work so not been posting as much. Booked in this Friday for my H1abc1 which will be the first since diagnosis and hopeful if not a bit anxious as to the result. Just looking at my meter and 90 day reads 9.9. 60 day 9.2. 30 day avg 9.2. 14 day avg 8.4. 7day 7.9. Pretty...

Ha :) . He's asleep all day then full of it on a night. 16 now but still my best mate.
