It's not a question to set it aside as I was half aware, now fully aware me and carbs/sugar are not compatible. Just the usual route is two blood tests to confirm the high reading. Just thinking on the basis rite now if it is a firm diagnosis life insurance and health cover is a goner!! But...

So I am 10 weeks in since I was 'told' I was diabetic, obviously spent a lot of that time reading up. When I went back for my Bloods in August they were done and then I had the call to say it's bad news. Considering the substantial jump from 42 - 54, and no other symptoms should I have had a...

Brilliant mate made up for you, hoping to follow you in that 3 month window with similar results =D I have about 10 things that now fit me and its been 9 weeks lol. Will be walking round like a tramp for a few months untill I get down to target and can go clothes shopping haha!

My GP (the new one who isnt an idiot) Has said if I manage to lower enough to be classed as in remission they would test me evey 3 months for 5 years at which point as it stands they would class it as resolved, but she would still have me tested every 3 months to make sure untill the end of days.

Hi and welcome. Great place to have landed. There will be someone along shortly with more info than me. There are many causes and factors in T2 diagnosis and reasons behind. What sort of lifestyle do you live with regards to foods eaten and alcohol? With regards to you question on...

Hi, You have landed in an amazing place to help/advise/support thats for sure. Anything you need to know/want to know just ask, people will be along shortly who know much more than me (8 weeks since Diagnosis) What have the Docs said your next steps are?

Yeah Low weight high rep Body Building, this is an option for me but not something that I would enjoy, after 10 years of lifting cars and boulders, and running with motorbikes on my shoulders, I am not ready to rub baby oil on myself and walk around in a thong just yet lol. BP has been down to...

So spent the last few weeks reading up, and trying to decide what is what. I have an Accu Check Aviva Black that I was provided with via my GP. Seems to be doing what it is supposed to and results make sense, will see come HB1AC check time. I have bought myself Accu Check Mobile today based...

Yeah I am IF now, normally 18 hours 1800 through to 1200 next day, but issue comes If work dictates I am out when not planned to be. Im sure in time once I get a better routine sorted (only been 7 weeks since diagnosis) I will be able to eat food all the time and not have replacement shakes...

I like my food to be food as well, but life is life and I can not always get food prepped and sorted, and this is a way of getting essential Vits/mins ect into me, when I have no way to go prepare food ect. I am interested in the take on the ingredients though, as I am not really that...

I'm using under 50g Carbs a day at moment with most days below 30, guessing I'm eating too many doing that ? Last weeks highs have been 122/6.8 one hour post and much lower at the 2 hours.

Not sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but as I used to use Normal Huel, and now can't. There new version is a life saver and makes lunch something of note rather than a tin of fish ha! If you google 'huel black' it will be the top search find :) Can't post links yet it seems...

Thanks for the info and input, makes sense and helps me to re enforce what I have read against what I have been told, fortunately the second Doctor I saw, after my first two visits at 42, said forget everything the old Doc said hes 67 and is old, do this LCHF IF and you will hopefully reverse it...

2/2 I will have to wait to see what I come back at, but using my comparison charts, and average figures my predicted HB1AC would be 37 on the last month. Now the only thing I have changed in my diet was reducing carbs that before my reading of 42 I hardly ate anyway. The only excess carbs I...

Thank-you all for your kind words and input. Been for my eye test today all was clear except one small dot which was far away from the middle part (I can't remember what he called it). But was only visible under maximum magnification, and he said it may or may not be diabetic related, and if...

Hi, I was diagnosed just before Christmas. I had piled on a lot of weight over the last 5 years due to injury's that restricted my Mobility, before that I led a very active and busy life. I had a few bloods over the last 6-9 months with two coming back at 42, then my last one came in at 54...
