I always get a 10 or an 11 in the morning despite being low carb under 50g a day but often much less. No carbs with my last meal of the day, no eating after 8pm and rarely eat breakfast before 9.30 am. I was controlling BG well during the day but recently its all over the place. I walk a lot...

I am classified as clinically vulnerable but have always gone to my medical appointments including blood tests and eye checks. I wear a mask, take sanitiser and if I felt the waiting room was too full I waited in the corridor. I feel the risk of covid is less than diabetes complications . I...

I too refused statins. My GP said my cholesterol has always been high even pre diabetes and looking at my diet thinks it may be hereditary high cholesterol. There has been research in to the role of Niacin in getting it down naturally. I consulted a nutritionist and she has put me on a...

It was after a 30 minutes impactful aerobics routine. I got a 7 later on so pleased its going in the right direction

I do 30 minutes fat burning day one and day 2 is 25 minutes toning with weights. I tested again at 6.15 and got a reading of 7 so I am pleased. My numbers have been going up so I have tweaked my diet to more low carb than previously and upped my exercise toutine

I tested my BG before lunch and it was 10 which is lower than its been in a while. My lunch was a smoked mackerel fillet, big bowl of salad leaves, cucumber, celery, 6 olives, a tomato and a tbs of home made kidney bean salad. I drank water ( 4 glasses) and then did my 30 minutes aerobics...

I dont know what caused them to be high. Research suggested no carbs in my evening meal and HIIT exercise. Had a 7 2 hours after lunch today so very pleased. I have tweaked my foods slightly too by logging my meals and checking the carbs I am consuming. Its amazing how they add up

I take no meds but got a 7 2 hours after lunch today so I think my new HITT regime and slight tweaking of my diet is beginning to work again hopefully!

I bought the gluconavii as you can buy the whole starter kit which includes the meter, the lancing device , some test strips and some lancets plus a carry case for about 13.00 from Home Health. If you say you are diabetic you get it VAT free. Its easy to use and the test strips and needles are a...

My last HBA1C was 49. Yes 12 on waking. I went from 84-49 in 3 months on low carb and lost 1 stone 7 1bs but now it doesnt seem to be working. My HBA1C is due in a month and I know it will be high again if things don't change. I eat eggs for breakfast usually 2 boiled and sometimes I add...

Fantastic results in a short time

I decided to try it but not getting great results so far. 2 tbs seems to be suggested with 1 oz of cheese with it before bed. That is supposed to help with higher BG in a morning. My friend swears that together with low carb has aided his weight loss

I am getting readings of 12 in a morning which is high and then I am struggling to get my levels to drop during the day. Low carb and no meds Wonder what else I can do

I am type 2 but I struggle too. I think you are very early days and you have come to the right place for help , support and advice. There is a type 1 forum you could join for help with just type 1. No one will judge you. Diabetes is a horrid disease but you will learn how to control it.

I found low carb initially worked for me but now I am seeing my sugars rise again. My numbers are high on wakening at 12. I ate 2 boiled eggs, some 5% fat greek yoghurt with cinammon and had 2 cups of tea with milk and it went up to 13 when I tested 2 hours later. Any advice please? I have read...

I refused to take statins, my GP said it was my decision, do my research and if I change my mind let him know.

An update is that you only get an appointment for eye screening every 2 years now if your previous results were good. I saw my diabetic nurse yesterday for something unrelated and we talked about the changes. She said from now on diabetics will be called for their bloods in their birth month...
